Quick Glance: Europol's Insights on Turkish Criminal Networks in Europe

A Europol report confirms that under President Erdogan, Turkey has become a hub for criminal syndicates posing a serious threat to European security.

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

Quick Glance: Cause of Dubai Flooding: Cloud Seeding or Natural Phenomenon?

Dubai grapples with the aftermath of heavy rainfall. Speculations on the role of cloud seeding are being discussed.

Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Restrictions on Oil and Gas Leasing in Alaska under Biden Administration

The Biden administration announced restrictions on new oil and gas leasing on 5.3 million hectares of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska to protect wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

The decision finalizes proposed protections that drew backlash from environmentalists last year for violating Biden's climate change pledge.

The limitation on new leasing faced opposition from Republican lawmakers who criticized the decisions as undermining national security interests.

Environmentalists praised the decision, while the oil industry labeled it as misguided and raised concerns about future developments in the reserve.
