Study reveals hidden 'chemical currency' fueling the ocean's carbon cycle
A new study, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University, identifies a diverse set of molecules released by marine phytoplankton that fuel microbial life and help drive Earth's carbon cycle. While scientists know that carbon is moved through an invisible network of phytoplankton and other microbes in the surface ocean, the specific compounds have long been a mystery. These compounds are small, chemically difficult to detect in salty seawater, and are rapidly consu…

Incidentally, I chose to force an upgrade because it was previously necessary to force off the virtual machine during an upgrade.
This began as a review of pkg issue 2441:
― pkg upgrade: ability to complete what was originally intended, following an interruption <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/

One of the main areas of pushback that Republican leadership in Congress has faced in trying to pass an extension of "section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" (Fisa) is push to keep the bill “clean”,
-- despite GOP hardliners insisting that reforms and additions are needed.
Some members of the conference, like Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, have said that
if Donald Trump’s sweeping voter ID bill ends up falling off th…

Hš vinte anos atršs, eu achava que 480p era uma resolução ótima para vídeos e que somente filmes muito específicos (com fotografia excepcional) justificavam o uso de resolução de 720p, que ocupava muito espaço no HD/CD. Mas agora hš pouco estava assistindo um videoclip da Loreena McKennitt em resolução 480p na minha TV de 42 polegadas e mal conseguia distinguir as imagens.
Em parte isso é porque nossos cérebros ficaram muito acostumado a imagens em alta resolução. Mas, principalmente, c…

China carbon emissions 'flat or falling' in 2025: analysis
China's emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide were "flat or falling" in 2025, analysis showed Thursday, but progress remains fragile and it is not yet clear that emissions have peaked.

Extreme rainfall is worsening algal blooms along South Korea's coast
Extreme rainfall is reshaping coastal waters along South Korea's shoreline, flushing nutrients from land into the sea and fueling the growth of algal blooms. A new multi-year study, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, tracked water quality in and around a major river estuary and shows how intense downpours can shift where and when these blooms appear, with consequences for marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours https://phys.org/news/2026-04-wildfires-night-climate-prime-hours.html

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours
Burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime. Flames are lasting later into the night and starting earlier in the morning because human-caused climate change is extending the hotter and drier conditions that feed fires, a new study found.
