Tien jaar na het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs is duidelijk dat de aarde nog steeds opwarmt. Hittegolven zijn warmer en komen vaker voor, en het aantal warme dagen neemt wereldwijd toe.

People are being killed due to a completely unnecessary aesthetic design decision.

There is enough excess space in the engine compartment of many of these large trucks for an adult to stand up.

"Musk and his economic interests are inseparable from the current regime occupying the White House. The integration between the ownership of Twitter/X and the Trump administration is far more complete than the relationship between TikTok’s corporate owner, ByteDance, and China’s leadership."

Our new study quantifies the effects of climate change on aircraft take-off performance for an A320 at 30 European airports in summer.

Around 50-100 metres more runway will be required to generate enough lift for take-off in the warmer, thinner air by 2050 compared to 2000.
