"We think the biggest realization that should come out of this conference ... is oil and gas are needed for decades to come," said John Hess, CEO of U.S. oil company Hess Corporation. A.S. Sahney Executive Director of Indian Oil CorporationHess said oil and gas are key to the world's economic competitiveness, as well as an affordable and secure energy transition. "The world is facing a structural deficit in energy supply, in oil and gas, in clean energy," he said. "That shows our belief in [the] continuance of fuel," the executive director said, acknowledging that energy transition is here to stay.

☆ A diver killed by a 15-foot great white shark classified as a 'provoked incident'

Simon Nellist, 35, a diving instructor, was killed by a great white shark off Sydney in 2022. A report has classified Nellist's death as a "provoked incident." The International Shark Attack File (ISAF), a global database of all known shark attacks, has now classified Nellist's death as a "provoked incident," which refers to a situation in which a human unintentionally or intentionally initiates contact with a shark. "A big great white, that's a great white, oh no, that's insane, the person's still there." Barcroft Media/Getty ImagesThe Australian Shark Incident Database, unlike ISAF, has recorded Nellist's death as an "unprovoked incident."
☆ 9 things about sharks you saw in movies that are actually wrong, according to an expert

When Dory hits her nose, her blood goes straight into the shark's nose. So "Finding Nemo" hit the nail on the head when they showed blood actually going into the shark's nose, she said. Gerard Soury/Getty ImagesSharks in "Finding Nemo" might want to fight their urges to eat fish, but it's not in their nature.
☆ Tornado facts: How they form and what to look for

Scott Cunningham/Getty Images“Sometimes, it may appear that a storm is in a perfect environment for a tornado to form, yet it never does. The updrafts and downdrafts work in tandem to pull the horizontal column of air down to form the tornado. “The most telltale sign that a tornado could be forming, when you are looking at a close-range severe thunderstorm, is the ‘wall cloud,’” says Miller. The wall cloud is a lowering of the cloud base that will lead to the vortex, or spinning of air. The presence of a wall cloud doesn’t always mean a tornado will form, but it certainly ups the odds.
