Nepal’deki sel felaketinin nasıl meydana geldiğini gösteren bir simülasyon:
Himalayalar’da bir buzul kütlesinin koparak vadiye düşmesiyle buz, kaya ve toprak nehir yatağına sürüklendi. Oluşan devasa su ve moloz dalgası, kısa sürede nehir yatağı boyunca ilerleyerek önüne çıkan her şeyi sürükledi.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Simulation inaccurately shows a lake already present before the debris arrives. Nepali officials say an ice-rock avalanche blocked the Lhende Khola on 26 Aug, forming a temporary debris dam and lake that then burst. No pre-existing lake at the site has been confirmed.

El Niño veks seg stadig sterkare i Stillehavet (raudt område midt på biletet), samstundes som det er varmt i Atlanterhavet og i Det indiske hav. Det har aldri tidlegare vore målt så høge overflatetemperaturar i verdshava, og utpå nyåret vil det bli endå varmare!
Ein veldig god forklaring av kva El Niño og La Niña er, korleis dei påverkar vêret rundt omkring på kloden, og kva vi kan vente oss av den svært sterke – kanskje historiske – El Niñoen som no er på veg og truleg vil nå maksimum seint i haust eller tidleg på vinteren.

Den sterkaste El Niño-hendinga som nokon gong er målt er no under utvikling, og det er allereie rekordvarmt i havet og i atmosfæren, lenge før toppen er nådd. Konsekvensane blir ikkje berre rekordvarme, men også meir tørke, flaum og høgare matprisar i verda.

As a Danish taxpayer, I think this is the best spent money ever. We will happily continue to pay to help a European country survive and to stop an existential threat against Europe.
We are just wondering why so many other countries are free-riding and barely contributing?

🇳🇴 This Monday in Bergen, the #OneOceanSummit brought together global leaders to advance “A Safe and Predicted Ocean.”
Alain Arnaud shared how federated digital twins such as EDITO and NORdito can turn ocean data into actionable knowledge.

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.
This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home.
The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.

CNN's Jake Tapper breaks down Trump's claim that he reached a Greenland deal in Davos

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.
Take a look — the numbers are staggering.
It's our Spotify Wrapped "War on Science" edition

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

When I saw this letter, I literally thought, “This is too stupid even for him.” I should have known better.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum argues. theatln.tc/P354UMw6

These tariffs are unnecessary, punitive, and a profound mistake. They will push our core European allies further away while doing nothing to advance U.S. national security.
We are already seeing the consequences of these measures in real time: our NATO allies are being forced to divert attention and resources to Greenland, a dynamic that plays directly into Putin’s hands by threatening the stability of the strongest coalition of democracies the world has ever seen.
Congress must work together to reassert our Constitutional authority over tariffs so that they are not weaponized in ways that harm our alliances and undermine American leadership.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "What's happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. They're pulling over people indiscriminately, including US citizens, and demanding to see their papers. At grocery stores, at bus stops, even at our schools, they're breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans. Kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process. Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government. This week, he went online to promise that 'the day of retribution and reckoning is coming.' That's a direct threat against the people of this state who dared to vote against him three times and who continue to stand up for freedom with courage and empathy and profound grace."

We have a lot ahead of us in 2026. Taking Greenland shouldn’t be on that list. Instead, we should continue building relationships—through trade, tourism, cultural exchange, and indigenous governance—rather than sending provocative messages that undo decades of trust.

Members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives,
I am a citizen of Greenland 🇬🇱
You must understand the gravity of the situation.
The people of Greenland are not for sale. The citizens of Greenland are not slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1865, and the idea that a people or their land can be acquired has no place in the modern world, under international law, or within democratic societies.
At this moment, the citizens of Greenland—from children to the elderly—are feeling unsafe and deeply unsettled by the current situation. No population should be made to feel fear or insecurity because of statements made by those in positions of power.
There are no Russian or Chinese naval forces operating in Greenlandic waters. Claims suggesting otherwise are false and misleading.
The United States already has a strong and long-standing defense agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark. This agreement has provided the United States with full military access to Greenland in support of American and allied security.
You, as members of Congress, have a responsibility to act. You must uphold international law, respect the sovereignty of allies, and ensure that no attempt is made to take control of Greenland🇬🇱
You took an oath to the Constitution, not to President Trump.
The world is watching. The people of Greenland are watching. Action is required now.
Sincerely,
