World energy chief: Iran war crisis as big as the two crises of the 1970s and the war in Ukraine
The head of the International Energy Agency warns that the energy crisis from the war in Iran is as big as the two oil crises of the 1970s plus the impact of the war in Ukraine.
The attacks and closure of a strategic strait have disrupted global energy supplies, causing shortages and uncertainty in markets.
Emergency measures have been taken such as releasing oil reserves, but the main solution remains the reopening of major roads and global cooperation.

Earth is being "pushed beyond its limits" as energy imbalance reaches record levels
The World Meteorological Organization warns that the Earth is facing a record energy imbalance that is warming the oceans and worsening extreme weather, food and health.
Over 90% of the excess heat is being absorbed by the oceans, while recent years have been the hottest on record and greenhouse gases are at record levels.
This imbalance, caused largely by human activity, is pushing the planet beyond its limits and risks long-term consequences such as rising sea levels and higher global temperatures.
