Glow-worm in Oxfordshire. Found in the UK after a hot dry day Jun-July 10PM-midnight. It's a challenge to photo only using the light from the beetle itself. #photography #insect #macro en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampyri...

Melting 12 billion tons, 12,000,000,000,000 kg of ice in a single day requires 4 EJ (exajoule = 10¹⁸ joule) of heat.

That's 63,500 Hiroshima bombs worth of energy, at 63 TJ (terajoule = 10¹² joule) each.

Humanity’s global energy use is about 1.64 EJ per day.

On Christmas day, Antarctica will lose about 400 times this Eiffel Tower high ice cube from record surface melt.

NEW: For over a year, the Israeli government has deliberately denied Palestinians in Gaza the minimum water needed for survival, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths.

A calculated policy.

An act of genocide. 🧵⤵️
