Well of course this happened, it was inevitable since there was no one there to switch to electric volcanoes, pour tomato soup on cave drawings, shut down dino paths but sitting in the path, and no media to push climate change agendas…. Thank god we’re good now; nothing to worry about, tax dollars can fix anything!

the way this country and world is running with the hate and the fighting that's going on and the nuclear weapons I'm surprised that we haven't had an Extinction long ago

yeah its crazy they want to tax us and put restrictions on humanity while these volcanos are putting out more carbon than we could in 200 years. If it's true (witch, it's not and just an excuse for wealrh transfers and taxing). Those volcanos definitely defeat the purpose. The carbon of humanity is just 1% of the problem. It's a complete lie!

Potentially rocky, habitable exoplanet discovered 31 light-years away
An international team of 50 astronomers discovered an exoplanet named Wolf 1069 b, orbiting a red dwarf star only 31 light-years from Earth, a press statement reveals. The researchers believe the exoplanet may be a rocky world, meaning it would be a particularly rare find — less than 200 of the roughly 5,200 exoplanets discovered so far are rocky.
Watch: Vortex of plasma spotted on Sun's poles for the first time

World’s biggest hydrogen power plant goes up in South Australia
The construction of the world's largest green electrolyzer and hydrogen power plant is a specialty of priority for the South Australian government these days. As reported by Renew Economy, the South Australian government is ready to build a 250 MW hydrogen electrolyzer, which will be 10 times bigger than its counterparts. Sam Crafter, the CEO of the Office of Hydrogen Power in South Australia, will lead the project.
Five years ago, SpaceX launched a Roadster into space. Where is it now?
On February 6, 2018, SpaceX launched a Tesla roadster and a spacesuit-clad mannequin into space onboard its Falcon Heavy rocket. Presuming that the harshness of space hasn't decimated the duo, the question is, where is the payload five years since its launch? The answer will blow your mind. Back in...

Squid-like 'liquid windows' react to environment, saving energy costs
The University of Toronto Engineering researchers have developed a unique system that can reduce the energy costs of heating, cooling, and lighting buildings. Their inspiration? The color-changing skin of the humble squid. The multilayered fluidic system can reduce energy costs by optimizing the wavelength, intensity, and dispersion of light transmitted through windows.
A new type of tandem solar cell for space could double efficiency
Physicists from Lund University in Sweden developed small solar radiation-collecting antennas, also known as nanowires, that could be better suited to space than existing silicon solar cells. The new nanowires are light and require a small amount of material, meaning they will soon be tested on satellites that already use...

Clean energy breakthrough produces hydrogen from sea water for cheap
Aiming to extract hydrogen for energy generation, scientists are looking at various ways of production, especially ones that do not strain existing natural resources. In a breakthrough, an international team of scientists from the University of Adelaide has devised a cost-effective method to split seawater to produce hydrogen directly. The research gains significance as earlier methods needed seawater to be treated using an energy-intensive process before splitting it using electrolysis.
