The volcano that gave us a year without summer. 🥶🌾

Did you know that the eruption of Mount Tambora (Indonesia) in 1815 triggered the “Year Without a Summer”? Volcanic ash blocked out the sun, causing famine and migration in Europe and North America. 🤯

Volcanoes cool the planet in the short term (thanks to sulphur aerosols) but they also emit greenhouse gases. Understanding this dual role is crucial for climate science. Today, satellites help us predict their impact!

Solar energy is the cheapest and fastest growing energy source, but can it really replace fossil fuels? ☀️🌍
The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is skyrocketing, and costs have plummeted by 85% since 2010! But one crucial question remains: how do we manage energy when the sun isn't shining?
The key lies in storage: from lithium batteries to green hydrogen. Our ecological transition depends on how quickly we can solve the challenge of intermittency and panel recycling.

What do you think is the most promising storage technology?
