Humanity is not on track to avoid the deadliest effects of climate change, according to University at Buffalo researcher Holly Jean Buck. "Our plans are not adequate to meet the goal of limiting the Earth's temperature increase to no more than 1.5℃ by 2050," said Buck, Ph.D., assistant professor of environment and sustainability....
UK tops all league tables for highly polluting form of travel, with a flight taking off every six minutes last year
Carbon credits and offsets do not have a great record but the funds they raise are a vital part in fight against deforestation
Carbon offsets can help achieve emissions goals, some experts argue, while others say they are actively dangerous
Investigation into Verra carbon standard finds most are ‘phantom credits’ and may worsen global heating

Governments must close gap between net zero rhetoric and reality, says International Energy Agency head
If 15 planned coal mining projects in Australia enter operation they would boost the country’s methane emissions from the dirtiest fossil fuel by nearly a fifth, according to an analysis from energy think tank Ember.
More climate scientists say emissions cuts are not enough and we face imminent catastrophe unless deliberately altering the climate. What are the options and challenges? Jem Bendell interviewed Dr Ye Tao who is proposing we use massive amounts of mirrors to reduce harm in the short term.
Les émissions de ce gaz, responsable de 25 % de la hausse des températures depuis l’ère préindustrielle, atteignent des records. Mais leur réduction partielle, et rapide, est à portée de main.
The EU is on track to break a promise to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030 made due to a “policy vacuum” on livestock emissions, a report has warned.Most of Europe’s methane emissions come from agriculture – particularly livestock – but the EU has avoided using policy levers such as its €387bn common agricultural policy to directly tackle the problem
Scientists warn world ‘is heading in wrong direction’ amid rise in nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane.Atmospheric levels of all three greenhouse gases have reached record highs, according to a study by the World Meteorological Organization, which scientists say means the world is “heading in the wrong direction”.
From the seemingly inexorable increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to the rapid growth in green energy
Le récent ouvrage du climatologue de renom Michael E. Mann, ( The New Climate War : the fight to take back our planet), souligne avec force que les puissants groupes d’intérêt de l’industrie des combustibles fossiles continuent de verser des centaines de millions de dollars par an pour influencer secrètement les débats sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, la conservation et l’action climatique. Seules les stratégies ont changé : les mensonges et le déni de réalité ont fait place à des formes plus subtiles de désinformation et de tromperie. Et nous tombons tous dans le panneau, encore et encore.
Failure to cut carbon emissions means ‘rapid transformation of societies’ is only option to limit impacts, report says
Un quota de pets. Mardi, la Nouvelle-Zélande a confirmé son projet de taxer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre des animaux d’élevage. Son plan prévoit que les agriculteur·rices paient pour les émissions de leurs troupeaux, dont le méthane relâché par les rots de vaches et le protoxyde d’azote issu de l’urine du bétail.
