Anyone visiting farmer Henning Voigt's operation near Germany's Baltic Sea coast stands a good chance of getting their feet wet. About 25 years ago, his father began rewetting a once-drained peatland. "We've been an organic farm since 1996 and currently manage 350 hectares (864 acres) of grassland. Most of it is very wet," Voigt says. Speaking with DW, Voigt explains that the hay they harvest from these wet fields is burned in a power plant to produce district heating.

Can you imagine someone giving you $170,000 (129,000)? What would you buy? Can you imagine getting another $170,000 one minute later? And the handouts then continuing every minute for years? If so, you have a feel for the colossal cash machine that is Saudi Arabia's state oil company Aramco, the world's biggest producer of oil and gas last year. That tidal wave of cash keeps the authoritarian kingdom afloat,

Sweden is set to miss the EU's 2030 climate goals by 4.3 million tons of carbon dioxide, according to the government's own figures. On Monday, the government is set to present its budget for 2026, which will include information on the effects of government policy on the climate. According to the budget, Sweden needs to cut its carbon dioxide production by 5.8 million tons in order to meet the EU goal.

They're among the top underwater predators, capable of ripping flesh from the bone with a single bite. But even sharks are not immune to the effects of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions, a new study reveals. In lab experiments, scientists in Germany exposed shark teeth to water with the acidity of the global ocean 175 years from now. They found that more acidic oceans - a consequence of carbon emissions - makes shark teeth structurally weaker and more prone to cracking and breakage.

Wildfires have so far ravaged more than one million hectares of land in European Union countries this year, a record since recording began in 2006, according to AFP analysis of official data. Surpassing the annual record of 988,524 hectares burnt in 2017, the figure reached 1,015,731 hectares on Thursday, an area larger than Cyprus. This calculation is based on a total compiled by AFP from estimates by country from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), at a time when Spain and Portugal are still battling wildfires.

The environmental audit by Mistral reveals that the majority of CO2 emissions and water consumption arise during model training and inference, not from construction or end-user equipment.
