For a #commodity #essential to everything from pharmaceuticals to agriculture and mining, #sulfur rarely makes headlines. But the #Iran #war is wreaking havoc on global trade of sulfur, a #byproduct from the #oil and gas sectors. Converted into #sulfuric acid—known as the “king of chemicals”—it powers operations across the #fertilizer, #metals, and #pharmaceutical sectors. Which means that any disruptions to the sulfur market reverberate far beyond it.

⚡️ Minecraft, snapshot 26.2 dropped: Mojang opened a test build with Vulkan support and added a new underground biome, the sulfur caves.

You can switch renderers in settings between Vulkan and OpenGL. Sulfur caves tend to spawn under mountains and show up via surface deposits; inside you'll find sulfur and cinnabar blocks, toxic sulfur lakes and new enemies, the sulfur cube and cave spiders. The sulfur cube absorbs blocks, reacts to i...

How Clean Air Warms the Earth

YouTube

In 2020, we rightly moved to clean our air by slashing shipping emissions. But in doing so, we triggered a 'Termination Shock'—ripping away the mask and unmasking the full heat of the planet. Today, we’re looking at how cleaning our lungs accidentally set our oceans on fire.

The Termination Shock: Our Accidental Sunshield

What if the biggest environmental win of the last decade actually hit the accelerator on global warming? We’ve spent years in a climate tug-of-war, with greenhouse gases pulling temperatures up while an invisible blanket of sulfate pollution from ships acted as an accidental sunshield, bouncing sunlight back into space.

Strait of Hormuz disruptions: Implications for global trade and development |

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints, carrying around a quarter of global seaborne oil trade and significant volumes of liquefied natural gas and fertilizers.
