JUST IN: Boeing offers condolences after a passenger was killed on a Boeing 777 plane, says their “thoughts” are with the passengers and crew.

In total 30 people were injured and a 73-year-old British man was killed.

The incident happened after the plane fell a whopping 6000 feet.

“Suddenly the aircraft starts tilting up and there was shaking so I started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a very dramatic drop so everyone seated and not wearing seatbelt was launched immediately into the ceiling,” a passenger said.

“Some people hit their heads on the baggage cabins overhead and dented it, they hit the places where lights and masks are and broke straight through it.”

"Mexico has had access to a relatively stable, affordable and substantial supply of natural gas," CGEP's @diegorivota tells @insideclimate.

"But now we are in a situation in which Mexico is heavily dependent on these imports," he adds.

@EmberClimate Great report! It's packed with valuable insights and well-organized data. However, @EmberClimate, Just a suggestion: consider adjusting the title to clarify that it only covers the European Union, not all of Europe.

I congratulate the #COP28 Presidency & countries for this major outcome that clearly states the goal of transitioning away from fossil fuels in line with 1.5C

Pleased to see most @IEA pillars reflected, though greater efforts are needed on finance for developing economies

Warning: YOU CAN'T DRINK THE TRITIUM WATER BEING RELEASED BY JAPAN THIS WEEK

It's almost entirely seawater.

A lethal dose of seawater for an adult is around 8 liters!

The radioactive tritium in it is fine. It's just the toxic levels of sodium that would kill you.

China's nuclear plants release plenty of tritium. They're just trolling Japan at this point.

Tritium does not bioaccumulate. This means that plants, animals, or humans can't concentrate the amount of tritium inside themselves. So Japan's initial dilution of tritium is in fact an absolutely certain way to protect everyone.

If only all our environmental problems were so easy to solve.
