"It has also become more erratic and unpredictable," she told the newspaper, "and we are facing growing problems of either too much or too little water."

Climate change disturbs the rainfall distribution patterns, leading to extreme rain in some areas and less in others. It's a very complex system and there are a lot of variables evolved. One example is changing wind patterns that creates high pressure regions that we see during heatwaves.

The study also addressed the wider implications of these findings. CK1δ plays a role in several important processes beyond circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. By better understanding how CK1δ's activity is regulated, scientists could open new avenues for treating not just circadian rhythm disorders but also a range of conditions.

There's a similar project that would supply power from Australia-Asia that spans 4,600 km when completed. But such big projects could easily be caught up in various delays, and it's a problem if a country is too dependent on a single power link. Self-reliant renewable energy production definitely seems more secure.

Quoting from another article:

The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.

Some regions may see slower changes than others in the short term. Long term, all will be affected.

Summary:

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.

Yes, their data does count battery storage as operating capacity. Isn't that a useful metric though, since batteries will complement the grid during solar downtime?

There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far.
The Ethiopian government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032. That’s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles — becoming the first nation in the world to do so.

Right? AI chatbots are so bad with hallucinations. As a programmer I can usually spot the inaccurate code chatbot is spewing, but these kids won't be able to spot the inaccuracy unless there's very strict quality control..which would require human teachers anyway.
