A 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed over 1,500 people in Turkey and Syria, with hundreds still believed to be trapped under rubble. The quake and a second 7.5 earthquake hit areas where hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees live. Rain and cold are hampering rescue efforts.

It may seem like there have been a lot of earthquakes lately, but on average there's a M6-6.9 earthquake somewhere on Earth roughly ever 2-3 days, and several M5-5.9 quakes per day. We mostly only notice quakes like this when they happen to hit near population centers.

Hydrogen is a versatile fuel that can decarbonize industry, trucking and more. Our H2Teesside bid, if selected, is at the heart of our aim to make Teesside a world leader in low carbon hydrogen. See our plan for a home-grown energy transition.

Trees cool the planet by more than just capturing carbon. sciencenews.org/article/fore…

Forests help reduce global warming in more ways than one

Trees are often touted as bulwarks against climate change for their capacity to sequester carbon, but that’s just one part of the story.
