Young people are terrified that climate change will destroy Earth by the time they grow up, but the world is not actually ending, argues Cambridge professor Mike Hulme.
Humanity is not teetering on a cliff’s edge, he says, at risk of imminent catastrophe if we don’t reach net-zero carbon emissions by a certain date.

Ukraine cannot beat Russia on the battlefield and will have to enter talks with Vladimir Putin, one of Kyiv’s senior military commanders has admitted.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly ruled out talks with the Kremlin over the course of the two-year war, and a decree he issued after Russia formally annexed four Ukrainian regions in 2022 deems negotiations ‘impossible’.

ISIS has released a sickening new video showing in graphic detail exactly how four of their terrorists slaughtered more than 140 people at a concert hall in Moscow.
The attack was the ‘most violent’ perpetrated against Russia ‘in years’, ISIS tonight claimed, adding that attack on the Crocus City Hall in the western outskirts of Moscow on Friday night was part of the ‘raging war between the Islamic State and countries fighting Islam.’

The funeral for Alexei Navalny today proved to be Vladimir Putin’s worst nightmare as thousands of Russian mourners gathered in Moscow to say their final farewell.

Several countries have recently set their sights on the Moon, which is a multi-quadrillion-pound hotbed of unearthed riches from rare Earth metals used in smartphones to helium that could perhaps provide an invaluable source of energy.
But there has been unease among scientists about how the moon’s resources
The death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and accusations that Vladimir Putin was behind it have once again raised the spectre of Kremlin assassinations.
World leaders and commentators instantly pointed the finger at the Russian president when the news of Navalny’s death broke on Friday, with questions around the cause of death fuelled by officials delaying the release of the body.
Some have suggested the 47-year-old dissident was poisoned – as he was in 2020 in a previous assassination
