Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet.
Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States.
The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2. Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better.
The effect is strongest along desert margins - across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara.
Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.
911 MW. E clar, au pornit U1 noaptea, fără să spună la nimeni.
La câte se întâmplă pe acolo nu e de mirare. Ii doare in pix că în țara asta sunt mii de oameni care știu ce înseamnă nuclearele și valorile astea.
Ce se întâmplă la Unitatea 2 CNE Cernavodă? Are puterea maximă 706 MW iar Transelectrica și Powergrid arată acum 814 MW !!!!
Așa ceva nu e posibil decât dacă se ambalează rectorul !!!!!
Romania
Incredibil - 868 MW!!!!
Daca ar fi adevarat turbina ar trebui sa tripeze, apoi reactorul ar fi cam imposibil de răcit!
Să sperăm că cineva se joacă cu situl Transelectrica.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Great words from Kallas.
Europe has institutions and cannot send unofficial envoys like the US does.
The US has no foreign policy beyond trying to make deals.
Europe has institutions and a foreign policy that goes beyond corporate profits.
There will be no agreement on Ukraine until Russia ends its invasion.
We have repeatedly given Putin two options: end the invasion or face the destruction of Russia’s economy.
Europe and Ukraine decide when there will be an agreement.
Nobody else.
@KamilCaus LoL, you wrote a doctorate essay about the President of Romania dismissing an asshole.
Care about your communist Tusk who did a coup d'etat in Poland, retarded one!
@vonderleyen Is EU going to make a deal with a war criminal?
If you go for it you validate Putin's "innocence".
Just tweet him "You may get a sentence reduction if you get the hell out of Ukraine without a deal, by just fucking off back into Mother Russia."
More Russians are dying in 10 days in Ukraine than died during the entire 10-year Soviet war in Afghanistan.
And all because some bunker midget wants his name in the history books.
@sentdefender Americans went as autist as the Russians. What a waste of time.
They should just update the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and divide Europe again. Many here would like to see the blonde Hitler gone. Anyhow things are going towards war like on a script.
@JoelWBerry Your brain is not able to host concepts, it's already full of cultural memes implanted by an abstract Jewish cult. Based on a god born like in vitro by a virgin. That's the most barbaric idea ever crossed the human minds.

Our new study reveals how Russia covertly organized interviews with 500+ "useful idiots" across the globe
We confronted them to see how they ended up participating in one of the biggest Russian state info-ops since the end of the Cold War.
This is what we found:

Model IV- Devastating Results: In October, Elon Musk didn't just throttle Ukraine on the ground: SpaceX coordinated with Russia in orbit to freeze ICEYE-X36 so Russia could extract U.S. radar and battery tech, compromising U.S. and NATO satellite sovereignty. Our new 28-page quantitative study, 3-page Executive Brief, and 5-Act orbital animation prove the structural damage across the Western kill chain and global commodity markets. (Pete Hegseth and Emil Michael played direct role. Is the White House complicit? It's hard to see how they are not.)
Since Project CORONA in 1958, Moscow chased U.S. spy satellites for 68 years with zero close-hold successes because Russian radars are blind across 265.1 degrees of Earth. In June 2026, U.S./NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 easily escaped a Russian approach in 60.8 minutes.
68 Years in 41 Hours: How Elon Musk Helped Russia Shatter U.S. and NATO Satellite Supremacy 👇
-The Ground Throttle Failed, Triggering the Orbital Brake: Following the Oct 9 Putin-Trump call and Russian diesel waiver (OFAC GL 135), SpaceX capped Ukrainian military Starshield terminals at 101-161 km/h on Oct 13-14 (-22.98% daily drone intercepts, p = 0.0019). Yet autonomous drones guided by U.S. NRO/NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 struck Rosneft's Ryazan refinery on Oct 15 AM anyway. Hours later (04:15:44Z), SpaceX posted a misleading 401m Starlink collision alert (internal v1-v4 pass: 1.93-2.00 km) to freeze X36 under FCC Condition 16 (-96.64% maneuver drop) while 31,000 Stargaze cameras tracked Russia's COSMOS 2612 sprinting into a 640m hold for 41.4 to 47.7 hours.
-Tech Extraction, Prague Wipe & Finland's Seizure: At 640m (+57.9 dB / 616,068x flux gain), Russia recorded X36's Title 50 1,200 MHz radar template to track both X36 and twin X37 from 500+ km away (+13.85 to +26.86 dB standoff SNR). On Oct 18, COSMOS 2612 timed Stellar Exploration's shared 8S battery 2-orbit thruster lockout (191.12 min), firing its departure burn +0.67 seconds after X36 recharged. Within 24 hours (Oct 19), Stellar cut U.S. ownership in Prague from 85% to 33% (Notice OV12312900) to block DoD audits, SpaceX onboarded Chinese operators into Space Safety (Oct 6 & 16), and on Nov 5 Finland stripped commercial ICEYE of command over its 3 military radar satellites.
-245 NRO Spy Sats Exposed & The 6.3-Min Hormuz Warning: All 245 classified NRO Starshield satellites (348 active hulls) fly in that exact compromised 525-559 km shell (confirmed Oct 28 by Putin on live TV praising orbital coordination with "Mr. Musk"). Perched 66-99s behind X36 on its descending orbit from Ryazan/Kyiv (~08:02Z) to Qeshm Island/Hormuz (~08:09Z) and Diego Garcia (~08:18Z), Russia now gives Tehran a live 4.6-7.1 min blind-spot warning (corroborated Nov 7 at Qeshm) while locking COSMOS 2611 and 2613 onto twin ICEYE-X37.
-Pentagon Enablement, Depleted Magazines & Two Market Shocks: Handed $11.88B+ in CoCo contracts by Sec Def Hegseth and CTO Emil Michael ($5M-$25M xAI sale 72h before seizing Maven and cutting CENTCOM reviewers 16-to-1), unthrottled spring AI targeting and Iranian salvos left U.S. forces with 3.7-5.5 Patriot raids and forced 74%-86% of 5th Fleet destroyers off-station to reload at Diego Garcia (LTG Sylvia fired Oct 28). Market impact splits into two unpooled shocks: (1) freezing X36 cut Ryazan restrikes 76.4% (p = 0.0000337), restoring +122.15 kb/d for GL 135 until Nov 4-5 restrikes stranded 4 diesel tankers; and (2) 5th Fleet VLS reload lag collapsed unescorted Hormuz clean products 81.2% (-2.923 mb/d), driving LR2 TC20 to $21.86M and 4:3 Gasoil/Brent cracks to $85.14-$89.43/bbl.
