Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

This is K2-18b.
It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.
The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!
