Mauna Loa Observatory recorded a CO2 concentration that exceeded 420 ppm for the first time in human history. Doubling CO2 levels has a 95% chance of warming the planet by at least 2°C (3.6°F), according to a study in AGU’s Reviews of Geophysics.
The Perseverance rover experienced a large storm in Jezero crater that lasted more than six Martian days (sols) in January 2022 & erased the rover's tracks. 21 Dust devils were seen on the first day of the storm. See the

How do mountains lose their roots? A new model shows how the sinking of a small dense root (shown as a gray blob) beneath the Central Andes can interact with the flow of material in the Earth's mantle and trigger big changes in the crust.
