Power plants are big factories that make electricity for lights and homes—not plants with leaves! Some burn coal or gas, releasing gases that warm Earth and pollution that can make people sick.

A rule made under President Biden says certain power plants must catch much of their planet-warming gas, run less, or close. President Trump’s government wants to remove that rule, but the change is not final.

Georgia Power is keeping some coal plants running longer and building more gas-powered machines, partly to power buildings full of computers. An expert warns that removing the rule could more than double the warming gas from those new machines.

The company says it wants dependable electricity that people can afford. Health and nature groups are asking a court to stop the change because they worry about people and Earth.

Tuvalu is a skinny strip of land with homes and trees, surrounded by blue water. As Earth gets warmer, ice on land melts and the sea rises. This can flood low islands.

World leaders agreed that **island countries should still count as countries even if their land goes underwater**. They should also keep their rights to the ocean around them, including places to fish.

Philip Davis, the leader of the Bahamas, wants countries to help protect island communities. Money could pay for sea walls, coastal trees that soften waves, or moving people somewhere safer. But this agreement does not provide extra money by itself—more work is needed.

“Land being swallowed by water” means water is covering the land. The ocean doesn’t really have a mouth!
