Unbelievable find! Scientists have discovered 20,000+ octopuses clustered around deep-sea volcanic springs—the largest known ‘octopus garden’ to date.

This latest discovery highlights how much we still don’t know about the deep-sea. pew.org/3r3T3Vb

Solar is set to overtake generation capacity of all other power sources by 2027.
In three years, it will overtake gas.
In four years, it will push past coal.
And it's creating jobs as it does it.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
