A man in Canada** suffered severe injuries after jumping onto a polar bear to protect his wife from an attack in the early hours of Tuesday. The couple had been looking for their dogs when they encountered the bear in their driveway. The bear lunged at the woman, but the man intervened, taking the brunt of the attack and suffering injuries to his arm and legs. A neighbor arrived and shot the bear, which later died from its wounds. Climate change is causing temperature fluctuations in the ocean, affecting how far bears can roam inland, making such attacks more common.Polar bears rarely attack humans, but when they do, it's often because they're hungry, young, or unwell. The community maintained patrols to ensure no other bears were present.

At the UN climate talks in Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reaffirmed its commitment to transition away from fossil fuels, despite objections from Saudi Arabia and other allies.

Meanwhile, the conference has been marred by disputes over climate finance, particularly the role of private sector investment versus public funds and grants. The UAE's commitment to the fossil fuel phaseout is a crucial step towards addressing the climate crisis, but the success of the talks hinges on reaching a consensus on climate finance.

UK Bids Farewell to Coal after 142 Years

UKclimate changecoalrenewable energy

After 142 years,** the UK will finally shut down its last coal-fired power station, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, on Monday. This marks the end of an era, with coal accounting for 80% of the country's power needs in 1990. However, the transition to renewable energy has come at a cost, with the UK having the highest industrial power prices in the developed world. The closure of coal plants has filled the void with green alternatives, such as solar and offshore wind. The Labour government is seeking to hit net zero emissions from electricity generation by 2030 through efforts like lifting the de facto ban on onshore wind farms. **Goodbye, coal. Hello, renewable energy!

More than 40 people, including over 35 children, have drowned in eastern India during a three-day Hindu festival.
