Size of a Jurassic sea giant found due to fossil discovery, study says

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:53:42 GMT

(CNN) — The chance discovery of large fossil specimens in a museum drawer have led researchers to conclude there was a gigantic marine reptile called a pliosaur swimming the seas 152 million years ago, according to a recent study.The findings from the Late Jurassic period, though fragmentary, suggest the pliosaur was about twice the size of a killer whale — and move lead study author David Martill closer to redemption. That’s due to what many researchers considered inaccurate claims he made about the size of another pliosaur in the BBC’s 1999 television documentary series “Walking With Dinosaurs.”One of the episodes “showed a 25-metre long Liopleurodon,” which “sparked heated debates … as it was thought to have been wildly overestimated and more likely to have only reached an adult size of just over six metres long,” according to a news release about the current study, published May 10 in the journal Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association.Martill, who was a consultant for the ep...

BERLIN — German Economy Minister Robert Habeck Wednesday announced he will put into “temporary retirement” a top-level state secretary dogged by accusations of cronyism.The decision comes after internal audits showed Patrick Graichen, the state secretary who played a key role in orchestrating Germany’s green transition, gave preliminary approval in November to a €600,000 project drafted by the regional Berlin office of the NGO BUND, where his sister is an active board member. “According to the compliance rules, Patrick Graichen should neither have been presented with this draft [proposal from BUND] nor should he have signed it off,” Habeck told a press conference. “It is one mistake too many.”The Green vice chancellor had come under intense pressure — from members of the opposition and from within his ruling coalition — to dismiss Graichen after it emerged he failed to disclose his personal relationship with the candidate chosen to lead Germany’s energy ...

Here’s what you need to know from this week’s session in POLITICO’s weekly run-through.Housekeeping note: With Rishi Sunak off to Japan for the G7, it was the turn of the stand-ins at PMQs — with Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner and new Deputy PM Oliver Dowden ready to trade blows.Welcome to the party, pal: Rayner welcomed Dowden by noting Rishi Sunak “finally has a working-class friend” in the state-schooled new DPM.

EU countries slam ‘crazy’ France for taking renewables legislation ‘hostage’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:53:42 GMT

BRUSSELS — Anger at France boiled over on Wednesday as EU countries accused Paris of taking a key piece of EU climate legislation “hostage” at the last minute to extract further concessions in the text.EU ambassadors were due to sign off on the Renewable Energy Directive on Wednesday, an integral part of the bloc’s flagship Fit for 55 climate package that aims to slash greenhouse gases by 55 percent by 2030 and ramp up the share of renewables in the EU’s energy mix to 42.5 percent.Negotiators reached a provisional deal on the rules in March following tough talks in which France threatened to torpedo the legislation unless it recognized some role for atomic energy. It eventually won a marginal concession.With rumors swirling that Paris might try to block approval, Sweden — which holds the six-month rotating Council presidency — was forced to strike a discussion on the text from Wednesday’s meeting of ambassadors to avoid a dramatic derailing of the legislation.“France is crazy,...
