THIS IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT:
The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels.

Yeah, I dunno, VicRoads. If cars can park in them, and cyclists *have* to use them, are they *really* built for cyclists?

When #Earth’s 4 hottest days were recorded in July, #climate scientist #JohanRockström told The Post that the planet was probably the warmest it has been since the last ice age began >100k years ago. Climate clues contained in ice cores, lake sediments & tree rings show that global #temperatures are shifting out of the range they’ve occupied for most of human history.

Comets are made from a collection of small icy particles that formed in the early Solar System. As they approach the Sun for the first time, tidal forces and radiation pressure cause them to crumble, shedding smaller meteoroids that follow them in orbit. When those meteoroids cross Earth's orbit, we see them as a meteor shower. A new paper suggests that the meteor showers we see can explain the sizes of the particles that went into the formation of the comet.
