**Greece is turning its back on coal and replacing it with solar and wind**
Hannah Ritchie & Pablo Rosado
“_The chart shows that just over a decade ago, almost half of the country’s power came from coal. This has now fallen to 6%._
_Solar and wind have replaced it; their share has tripled in the last decade; when combined, they’ve become the largest source._”

**South Arabia’s prehistoric monument landscape shows social resilience to climate change**
“_By decentering analysis from a single era or type of monument, we show how monument classes are proxies for social behavior of mobile, persistent pastoralists. Our model highlights a reliance on monuments as touchstones of social belonging and as flexible technologies of social resilience in a changing world._”

Climate scientists: the climate has always changed, over very long timescales, due to many different natural factors
Everyone: yes, please tell me more…
Climate scientists: also, the recent rapid warming is primarily due to burning fossil fuels
Most people: thanks, perhaps we ought to do something about that?
Small minority and fossil fuel companies: it’s all a hoax… except the bit when you said the climate changed before

**Viking silver treasure uncovered in Täby in Stockholm**
“_Several coins are of European origin, representing countries as England, Bohemia and Bavaria. In addition, the treasure consisted of five Arabic coins, so called dirhams. One of the European coins is extremely rare and was minted in the city of Rouen, in Normandy, France. It dates to approximately the 10th Century AD._”

**Exclusive: 'Turk-Kagan' coin discovery reshapes early Turkic history, says Uzbek professor**
“_Perhaps most significantly, the “Turk-Kagan” coins predate the famed Orkhon inscriptions—those of Tonyukuk, Kultegin, and Bilge Kagan—by more than 150 years. This pushes back the earliest known written usage of “Turk” and “Turk-Kagan” to the late sixth or early seventh century A.D._”
