Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier is one of the fastest-changing ice masses on Earth, losing billions of tonnes of ice each year. But new research has uncovered an unexpected twist: while this accelerated melting is a clear sign of climate breakdown, it is also fertilising nearby coastal waters, sparking bursts of marine productivity. A Glacier with Global … Continue reading The Surprising Effects of Greenland’s Glacier Melt on Arctic Biodiversity

The push to expand renewable energy is running into a practical challenge: how to build offshore wind farms quickly and cheaply enough. Offshore wind has huge potential, especially in Northern Europe where countries have access to the sea, but building turbines further out from land comes with steep costs. A recent study explores an innovative … Continue reading Wind Barges Offer Cheaper Offshore Clean Energy Production

Is desalinating water with renewable energy for a potable mains supply worthwhile? Lessons from the Philippines.

The House of Commons debated the issue of banning fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship in a session driven by growing concerns over the role of fossil fuel companies in exacerbating climate change and the need for stronger action against misleading or harmful promotional practices. Key Points Raised During the Debate Outcome No vote was taken … Continue reading Debate on Fossil Fuel Advertising (House of Commons, 2025/7/7)

Nanoengineering hydrogen to save costs.

The Solar Vortex Engine is novel approach to generating energy

For years, solar power has been confined mostly to rooftops, deserts, and fields. But a pioneering study on underwater perovskite solar cells has opened a completely new frontier: generating clean energy beneath the surface. This breakthrough doesn’t just make solar viable in aquatic environments — it reimagines where we might harvest the sun’s power. The … Continue reading Solar Power in Surprising Places: From Boats to the Bottom of Pools
