The team used the lead particles’ isotopic signature to trace some of the lead’s origins to coal and metal ore found only in Asia. “ The team’s research could help scientists improve computer models that describe how dust-sized aerosols such as air pollution ride the winds across continents and oceans.

The global energy mix is the most diverse the world has ever seen by 2040, with oil, gas, coal and non-fossil fuels each contributing around a quarter. Natural gas demand grows strongly and overtakes coal as the second largest source of energy. Natural gas demand grows strongly and overtakes coal as the second largest source of energy.

Wind, solar and biofuels are expected to be the fastest-growing energy sources, increasing about 6% a year on average through 2040, when they will be approaching 4% of global energy demand. By 2040, natural gas is expected to account for more than a quarter of global energy use, surpassing coal in the overall mix.

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.
