The emissions from a single coalmine expansion might not seem like a lot when compared with the scale of global emissions, which are measured in gigatonnes (that’s one thousand million tonnes). However, scientists have been saying for years that every tonne of carbon dioxide adds to global warming, and every fraction of a degree increase matters. Now, a group of climate scientists have released a new tool that shows the possible consequences of those emissions in detail. The Carbon Impacts Tracer uses peer-reviewed studies to estimate the impact of every megatonne of emissions on people and the environment. Here, you can see how the emissions from a coalmine expansion in Australia’s Hunter Valley could affect food security and human exposure to heat stress globally.obc emissions AN fallback Illustration: Guardian DesignasdasdasYou can read about the science underlying these projections on the Carbon Impacts Tracer website here. There are further predicted impacts from releasing 809m tonnes of emissions not listed in the graphic above, including an estimated 107 deaths in Europe, 41,800 additional people put into extreme poverty, 19.4km square of additional glacier area lost, and 38

Rain98 is a blue-hued, pre-Y2K, Serial Experiments Lain inspired visual novel about time travelling to the past to end the world
Picture this. You're me, and you boot up the demo for Rain98, an incredibly blue-looking, rainy visual novel set in Tokyo, 1998, about a woman who refers to herself as the Angolmois, a world-ending reference to the predictions of good ole Nostradamus. At one point you have to light this woman's cigarette in a lightly stylish sequence. You get to a bit where you're asked to put your name in, and you put it in because like its predecessors, this is surely a self-insert kind of situation. Only you get a Steam achievement for getting a game over for putting your name in. Rude! But curious, so you, and of course I mean I, pressed on. In Rain98, you play as a nameless Generic Man who is deeply troubled, if not outright suicidal (of which this game has strong themes of) by the state of the world as it is in our present day. It's a fair stance to take! I would not exactly say things are good right now. But they weren't great in 1998 Japan, the year that Generic Man is somehow transported back to, finding this young woman, Reina Amehara, the Angolmois, in what he thinks is his apartment.
How The Forest Came Back After Mount St. Helens - WorldAtlas
Wildfires strip American forests bare every year, and the real question is always whether the trees grow back. Mount St. Helens is the clearest case anyone has studied. Its blast scorched square miles of Washington forest down to bare rock and ash. Decades later the trees are back, and much of that happened with no planting at all. A few firs buried under snow and a single caged gopher helped drive the comeback. This is the best look we have at how trees grow back after a forest is wiped out. Snow still covered the slopes of Mount St. Helens during a 1982 eruption.

Battlefield 6 Devs Respond After Players Take Aim at 'Secuty' Typo and Cosmetic With 5 Pistols
Updated: Oct 17, 2026 9:28pm UTCThe Battlefield 6 team has responded after players took aim at a few controversial cosmetics added in Season 5. Battlefield Studios took to its official Discord server to offer background information on two skins that caused a stir with the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 5 this past week (via MP1st). The full text confirmed at least one of the issues has a fix in the works, while the other will seemingly remain the same. The cosmetics – one with what appeared to be a typo in the word "security" and another featuring infantry sporting a whopping five pistol holsters – were officially added October 13 and almost immediately drew ire from fans. It's that pesky misspelling, which took the shape of the non-existent word "security" on the armband of a McNeil skin, that the developers say will be fixed when Battlefield 6 Season 5 launches in November. Secuty 😭 It's AI #Battlefield6 https://t.co/8DVphghCSU— Battlefield Intel (@BattlefieldInte) October 13, 2026 "You called it out clearly, and we hear your concerns," the message, acknowledging the memes and conversations surrounding the new skins, said.
