Climate scientists are actively responding to a controversial US Department of Energy report claiming global warming is less economically damaging than previously thought. Researchers aim to coordinate their arguments to potentially influence an impending legal battle before the US Supreme Court. Meanwhile, astronomers have detected a planet located in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri A, approximately 4 light-years from Earth. Researchers speculate about the potential habitability of the planet's moons, despite the planet being a gas giant. Additionally, stone tools in Sulawesi, Indonesia, suggest hominin occupation around 1 million years ago, earlier than expected.
A group of researchers are now trying to coordinate a unified response, knowing that their arguments could influence a legal battle that is likely to go to the US Supreme Court.
Astronomers have caught a glimpse of what could be a nearby planet in its star's habitable zone - the 'just right' region where life could flourish.
