Entire Earth vibrated for nine days after climate-triggered mega-tsunami
Landslide in Greenland caused unprecedented seismic event that shows impact of global heating, say scientists
A landslide and mega-tsunami in Greenland in September 2023, triggered by the climate crisis, caused the entire Earth to vibrate for nine days, a scientific investigation has found.
The seismic event was detected by earthquake sensors around the world but was so completely unprecedented that the researchers initially had no idea what had caused it. Having now solved the mystery, the scientists said it showed how global heating was already having planetary-scale impacts and that major landslides were possible in places previously believed to be stable as temperatures rapidly rose.

Scientists hopeful antidote can help protect bumblebees from pesticides
Study suggests hydrogel microparticles increase survival by 30% in bumblebees exposed to lethal doses of neonicotinoids
Scientists have developed a “vaccine” for bees against pesticides – and it appears to work, according to an initial study.
According to the findings, published in Nature Sustainability, hydrogel microparticles fed to bumblebees in sugar water caused a 30% higher survival rate in individuals exposed to lethal doses of neonicotinoids, and significantly milder symptoms in those exposed to lower doses that would not usually be lethal but can cause harm.

Government rules out underground cabling in National Grid upgrade
Rollout of pylons across countryside is cheaper and quicker way to integrate renewable electricity, says energy tsar
The government has ruled out burying electricity cables underground as part of its energy strategy, which will involve the unrolling of millions of pylons across the British countryside, Ed Miliband’s clean energy tsar has said.
Chris Stark, the former leader of the Climate Change Committee, now heads the government’s “mission control” department for decarbonising the grid by boosting renewable energy and building connections across the country.
