Taken from the what you'll learn in this article section at the top:

  1. Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age.
  2. Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.
  3. These human prints were surrounded by animals but not hunted animals, indicating humans were just thirsty.

Rich families were battling each other to build the tallest tower; turns out even grown adults act like overtired two-year-olds when it comes to having the biggest one.

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, reported a 298% rise in net income to $112.1bn for the second quarter of 2026 (Q2 2026), compared to $28.2bn in the same period the previous year.

Barely a drop in the bucket. Just the price of doing business.

Germany's Fossil Fuel Transition Roadmap (Sept 2026):

  • Legally bound to cut emissions 65% by 2030, 88% by 2040, net-zero by 2045 (Federal Climate Action Act). Already at ~48% cut since 1990, while GDP grew ~48% over the same period.
  • Fossil fuels still 65% of final energy consumption; Germany imports ~98% of its oil, ~95% of gas, 100% of hard coal; costing ~€76bn/year.
  • Renewables hit 55% of gross electricity consumption in 2025, targeting 80% by 2030. Coal power must end by 2038 (possibly 2035).
  • 2025 was the first year heat pumps outsold gas boilers in Germany (48% market share).
  • EVs were 32% of new car registrations in Aug 2026; EU mandates 100% by 2035.
  • New gas/oil heating systems installed after July 2026 must phase in carbon-neutral fuel blends starting 2029. 2026 Climate Action Programme: 67 measures projected to cut ~27 million tonnes CO2 and reduce gas/petrol imports significantly by 2030.
  • Internationally: Germany's spent ~€11.8bn on climate finance in 2024, backs Just Energy Transition Partnerships (South Africa, Indonesia, Vietnam, Senegal), and quit the Energy Charter Treaty in 2023 over it undermining coal phase-out.
