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: James Webb Telescope live updates: NASA releases photos that reveal cosmic secrets
  • NASA has released the first photographs from the new James Webb Space Telescope, including some dating back 13 billion years.

  • The final image, the Carina Nebula's cosmic cliffs, reveals for the first time hundreds of stars that were previously hidden from view.

  • The Carina Nebula image provides a unique look of stars in their early, fast stages of creation.

  • The Carina Nebula is a star-forming region within our own Milky Way galaxy that is rather close (in space terms).
