Exclusive: As wildfires rage, Frank Elderson says more work needed to assess risk from collapse of ecosystem services
Je sais exactement où tu es assis(e) en ce moment. Tu regardes un graphique des températures de surface de l’Atlantique Nord, observant une ligne rouge s’envoler vers un territoire inconnu et terrifiant. Encore une donnée horrible qui confirme ce que tu sais déjà. Tu ressens cette chute familière et creuse dans ton estomac en prenant conscience de la réalité biophysique : les systèmes de la planète se désagrègent.
A Letter to the Newly Awake. I know exactly where you are sitting right now. You are staring at a chart of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, watching a red line spike into uncharted, terrifying territory. Yet another horrible data point proving what you already know. You feel a familiar, hollow drop in your stomach as you register the biophysical reality: the planet’s systems are unraveling.
La Belgique pourrait bien à l’avenir être confrontée à des feux de végétations et de forêts plus nombreux et plus intenses. Une menace sérieuse qui a mené à la création d’un réseau belge de lutte contre les feux de forêts : le "Belgian Wildfire Network".
Scenarios serve as a critical tool in climate change analysis, enabling the exploration of future evolution of the climate system, climate impacts, and the human system (including mitigation and adaptation actions). This paper describes the scenario framework for ScenarioMIP as part of CMIP7. The design process has involved various rounds of interaction with the research community and user groups at large. The proposal covers a set of scenarios exploring high levels of climate change (to explore high-end climate risks), medium levels of climate change (anchored to current policy), and low levels of climate change (aligned with current international agreements). These scenarios follow very different trajectories in terms of emissions, with some likely to experience peaks and subsequent declines in greenhouse gas concentrations in this century. An important innovation is that most scenarios are intended to be run, if possible, in emission-driven mode, providing a better representation of the Earth system uncert
Des milliers de candidats recalés poursuivent en justice le fournisseur de logiciels de RH Workday, lui reprochant l’élimination, par algorithme, de leur CV sur d’autres critères que leurs qualifications.
Exclusive: Ben Goldsmith will work on issues including fishing and green belt preservation to attract green Tories
Voici un article véritablement fascinant sur les origines physiques de la crise au Venezuela et une explication des raisons pour lesquelles il était dans l’intérêt des États-Unis de mener une guerre économique afin de prendre le contrôle des réserves pétrolières vénézuéliennes, à un moment où la rentabilité du pétrole américain était en déclin.
Rob Hopkins has spent the past decades exploring one question: what if we could fall in love with the future? As co-founder of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, and author of four books, he travels the world helping communities cultivate imagination, longing and possibility. He believes that the transition we so urgently need depends on one thing above all: imagination.
Bij een steekproef in verschillende Europese landen zijn er TFA aangetroffen in graanproducten zoals brood, koekjes en speculaas. TFA is de kleinste variant van de forever chemical PFAS. De actiegroep Pesticide Action Network (PAN), die de testen liet uitvoeren, roept de overheid op om breder te meten naar TFA-resten in voedsel, en vraagt dat PFAS-bevattende pesticiden uitgedoofd worden.
Around 56 million years ago, Earth suddenly got much hotter. Over about 5,000 years, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere drastically increased and global temperatures shot up by some 6°C.
The latest Lancet Countdown report warns that health impacts of climate change are worsening, with millions dying needlessly each year due to fossil fuel dependence, growing greenhouse gas emissions, and failure to adequately adapt. As some countries and companies rollback on climate commitments, local and grassroots leadership is building momentum for a healthier future. The report represents the work of 128 experts from 71 institutions, monitoring progress across 57 indicators – from heat-related deaths to bank lending to fossil fuels – providing the most comprehensive assessment yet of the links between climate change and health.
Les discours politiques sont imperméables aux idées de rupture, alors que la Terre atteint ses points de bascule, selon le chercheur Nathanaël Wallenhorst. Il en va pourtant de notre survie, explique-t-il.
This is not a call to despair, but an invitation to understand the forces driving the process of collapse, and to explore how we might navigate the descent with integrity, purpose, and care for the living world.
Lancée en avril 2025, l’organisation russe intitulée Global Fact-checking network (GFCN) soutient vouloir lutter contre la désinformation. Mais parmi la soixantaine d'experts membres du réseau, plusieurs sont des relais réguliers de désinformation en ligne. Décryptage.
À l’échelle mondiale, nous venons d’épuiser notre quota de ressources planétaires pour l’année 2025, alerte ce mercredi l’ONG Global footprint network, qui actualise chaque année la date de ce «dépassement». Cette fois, le couperet est tombé un jour plus tôt que l’an dernier, soit la date la plus précoce jamais annoncée par l’ONG.
Since Donald Trump's presidential election victory, major tech companies have abandoned years of policies restricting military work and sought out lucrative defense contracts and deeper connections with the Pentagon.
Why is the “direct-air-capture” pioneer Climeworks taking the drastic step to cut 20% of its global workforce?
La société suisse, pionnière de l’aspiration du dioxyde de carbone dans l’air, traverse une mauvaise passe : sa technologie est mise en doute et elle a annoncé être contrainte de réduire ses effectifs.
Climeworks, le spin-off de l'ETH Zurich, a attiré de puissants investisseurs avec ses gigantesques "aspirateurs à CO2". Aujourd'hui, de sérieux problèmes font surface et des licenciements sont attendus. Depuis plusieurs années, une idée suisse pour atténuer le changement climatique attire l'attention, le respect et beaucoup d'argent. Avec ses installations qui aspirent le CO2 de l'air, Climeworks a jusqu'à présent récolté 810 millions de dollars américains.
The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.
That’s now how separation of powers works under the U.S. Constitution.
FBI officials have complied with demands to provide the Justice Department with details of thousands of employees who worked on investigations related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, according to people familiar with the situation.
Revealed: US climate denial group working with European far-right parties Representatives of Heartland Institute linking up with MEPs to campaign against environmental policies Helena Horton, Sam Bright and Clare Carlile Wed 22 Jan 2025 13.01 CET Last modified on Wed 22 Jan 2025 14.27 CET Climate science deniers from a US-based thinktank have been working with rightwing politicians in Europe to campaign against environmental policies, the Guardian can reveal. MEPs have been accused of “rolling out the red carpet for climate deniers” to give them a platform in the European parliament, amid warnings of a “revival of grotesque climate denialism”.
Le Science based targets network devrait publier d'ici mi-2025 ses premières cibles "fondées sur la science" pour la protection des océans.
Op de VN-klimaattop in Bakoe zijn belangrijke besprekingen over uitstootreductie in de eerste week op een haar na gekelderd door verzet van oliestaat Saoedi-Arabië en enkele ontwikkelingslanden. Het voorzitterschap moest alle zeilen bijzetten om de onderhandelingen uit het slop te halen.
Amerikaanse scheikundigen hebben een nieuw type van absorberend materiaal gemaakt dat veelbelovend klinkt om koolstofdioxide uit de lucht te filteren en zo de CO2-concentratie in de atmosfeer te doen dalen.
Voor het eerst hebben Vlaamse wetenschappers uit verschillende vakgebieden hun krachten gebundeld om de cruciale link tussen de gezondheid van de oceaan en die van de mens in kaart te brengen. Deze zogenaamde 'Ostend Working Group on Ocean and Human Health' vat hun bevindingen en praktische aanbevelingen voor beleidsmakers nu samen in een nieuw rapport.
Author Adam Greenfield demonstrates the power of mutual aid and community networks, but they lack to power to fundamentally change societyIn his book Lifehouse, Adam Greenfield shows that ordinary people are capable of organising themselves and running their own lives even in the most difficult circumstances.
Op IJsland is de grootste installatie ter wereld in gebruik genomen om CO₂ weer uit de atmosfeer te plukken. De machine, die de naam 'Mammoth' meekreeg, moet per jaar 36.000 ton CO₂ uit de lucht halen met een soort gigantisch dampkapsysteem. Hoe werkt het, hoeveel is het klimaat hierbij gebaat en wat zijn de addertjes onder het gras?
New path to transition away from fossil fuels marred by lack of finance and loopholes COP28 in Dubai sends an important signal on the end of fossil fuels but leaves more questions than answers on how to ensure a fair and funded transition that is based on science and equity
De Europese Unie zal haar eigen energie- en klimaatdoelen niet halen op basis van de plannen die tot nog toe zijn ingediend. Dat blijkt uit een vernietigende doorlichting van Climate Action Network Europe, een koepel van milieuorganisaties.
ibrio are bacteria that cause an estimated 80,000 illnesses each year in the United States. About a dozen species of Vibrio are pathogenic to humans. V. parahaemolyticus causes the most infections in the United States, accounting for about 40% of reported cases of vibriosis, followed by V. alginolyticus, which accounts for about 20%. Most people with Vibrio infection have diarrhea. Some people might also have stomach cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills. One species, V. vulnificus, is known to cause life-threatening infections. About 150–200 V. vulnificus infections are reported to CDC each year and about one in five people with this infection die—sometimes within 1–2 days of becoming ill.
Are we already living in the Anthropocene? For the past three years, the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) has undertaken extensive research at 12 different locations across the globe to search for geological evidence of recent planetary change provoked by industrialized humanity. The AWG’s aim was to identify a geological reference section, a so-called Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP, commonly referred to as the "Golden Spike") that would indicate the start of a new Earth epoch, the Anthropocene. The research process has been closely accompanied by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) within the collaborative framework of the Anthropocene Curriculum. On July 11, 2023, the scientists of the AWG will present their proposed Anthropocene GSSP candidate in a joint online press conference with the Max Planck Society and former members of the HKW. The press conference takes place as a special event of the international Max Planck So
Depuis qu’Elon Musk a acheté Twitter il y a six mois, le milliardaire Elon Musk a assoupli la modération des contenus problématiques et laissé revenir des personnalités auparavant bannies, comme Donald Trump.
Humans prospered in a stable climate. But conditions are changing. Research out today shows 2 billion people will be pushed out of the habitable zone by 2.7C warming. Why? What does this mean for us?
Climate change will cause agricultural failure and subsequent collapse of hyperfragile modern civilization, likely within 10–15 years. By 2050 total human population will likely be under 2 billion. Humans, along with most other animals, will go extinct before the end of this century. These impacts are locked in and cannot be averted. Everything in this article is supporting information for this conclusion.
Les associations environnementales Nature & Progrès et Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Europe annoncent mardi avoir mis en demeure la veille l'État belge, via le ministre fédéral en charge de l'Agriculture David Clarinval.
The EU have introduced a new regulation on the import of products linked to deforestation – but will this reduce deforestation globally?
We face so many concurrent threats that commentators have argued that we now face an unprecedented "polycrisis" – where multiple interacting global crises produce greater harms to the planet and humanity than those crises would produce in isolation. The Wellbeing Economy Alliance has argued that the current economic design is at the root cause of this polycrisis, and with good reason.
