Designers Predict These 7 Interior Design Trends Will Be Everywhere in 2025

Thanks ; Stephanie Hunt Published ; Dec,18 ©Thomas Loof After a rollercoaster 2024, our collective mood feels, well…slightly exhausted, right? We’re plum tuckered out, thanks to our 24/7 online lives, a crazy election year, and just too much streaming to keep up with. It’s leaving many of us looking inward for a New Year reboot, and that inward gaze includes our home interiors. If your 2025…

Plans to cool the Earth by blocking sunlight are gaining momentum, but critical voices risk being excluded

Thanks ; Albert Van Wijngaarden, Adrian Hindes, Chloe Colomer Published ; Oct31 The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines blocked so much sunlight the world temporarily cooled by a few tenths of a degree. Solar geoengineering works on a similar principle. Credit: Dave Harlow / USGS Solar geoengineering research is advancing fast, after a recent flurry of funding announcements. Yet…
