f global warming reaches or exceeds two degrees Celsius by 2100, University of Western Ontario's Joshua Pearce says it is likely that mainly richer humans will be responsible for the death of roughly one billion mainly poorer humans over the next century. The oil and gas industry, which includes many of the most profitable and powerful businesses in the world, is directly and indirectly responsible for more than 40% of carbon emissions—impacting the lives of billions of people, many living in the world's most remote and low-resourced communities. A new study proposes aggressive energy policies that would enable immediate and substantive decreases to carbon emissions and recommends a heightened level of government, corporate and citizen action to accelerate the decarbonization of the global economy, aiming to minimize the number of projected human deaths.
Researchers found that exceeding the 2C increase has a 50% chance of happening by mid-century
En matière de climat, l’ennemi numéro un, ce sont les énergies fossiles (charbon, pétrole et gaz) - c’est-à-dire, parmi les grandes entreprises françaises, TotalEnergies. Mais beaucoup d’autres groupes ont des liens étroits et des intérêts partagés avec le géant pétrolier et le secteur des énergies fossiles en général. Ce qui explique leur opposition à un action climatique décisive.
In 2005, I was the lead counsel on behalf of the US in one of the biggest corporate accountability legal actions ever filed. That trial proved that the tobacco industry knew it was selling and marketing a harmful product, that it had funded denial of public health science, and had used deceptive advertising and PR to protect assets instead of protecting consumers.
If our next federal government wants to save the reef, it must tackle the main reason it is in trouble by phasing out fossil fuel use and exports as quickly as possible. Otherwise it’s like putting bandaids on an arterial wound.
In 1972, a book changed the world. The Club of Rome commissioned a report that shifted how we see what humans are doing to the planet. Looking back five decades later, what happened next, what did we do and not do, what did we learn, and what happens now? In The Limits to Growth, a team from MIT studied the way humans were using the resources of the earth. Using sophisticated computer modelling, the researchers developed scenarios to map out possible paths for humanity, the global economy and the impact on the planet.
There is a 50:50 chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5 °C above the pre-industrial level for at least one of the next five years – and the likelihood is increasing with time, according to a new climate update issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
La 5G dont nous disposons actuellement n'est qu'une partie de ce que proposera à terme cette nouvelle technologie. Les ondes millimétriques (26 GHz) ouvriront de nouvelles perspectives. La 6G ira encore plus loin avec l'usage de « surfaces intelligentes reconfigurables » et un « meilleur suivi de l’utilisateur mobile ».
Climate change is raising flood risks in neighborhoods across the U.S. much faster than many people realize. Over the next three decades, the cost of flood damage is on pace to rise 26% due to climate change alone, an analysis of our new flood risk maps shows.
The founder and director of Foxconn, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of electronics, Terry Gou, has said that “there will be a shortage of electricity in the next year.” Gou added that “people should not complain about the future lack of electricity.” Instead, they should “prepare”.
At least eight types of bird flu, all of which can kill humans, are circulating around the world’s factory farms – and they could be worse than Covid-19

Dans le cadre de la Semaine du Réveil Ecologique à l'X, Monsieur Jancovici est venu à l'Ecole Polytechnique pour intervenir sous le titre : "Bien plus dur que rentrer à l'X : résoudre le défi énergie climat".
The second draft of the IPCC Group III report, focused on mitigation strategies, states that we must move away from the current capitalist model to avoid surpassing planetary boundaries and climate and ecological catastrophe). It also confirms our previous reports, covered by CTXT and The Guardian, that “greenhouse gas emissions must peak in the next four years”. The new leak acknowledges that there is little or no room for further economic growth.
Global greenhouse gas emissions must peak in the next four years, coal and gas-fired power plants must close in the next decade and lifestyle and behavioural changes will be needed to avoid climate breakdown, according to the leaked draft of a report from the world’s leading authority on climate science.

Il faut penser ensemble la lutte contre le dérèglement climatique et contre l’effondrement de la biodiversité, selon un rapport du Giec et de l’IPBES. Des mesures de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre qui font fi de potentiels effets sur la faune et la flore sont contre-productives, alertent les chercheurs.
Etes-vous prêts pour la prochaine catastrophe majeure ? Et si la gestion collective, Etatique et Citoyenne, de notre sécurité civile était la meilleure façon de faire société ensemble ? Tout commence par une question : lorsque surviendra la prochaine catastrophe majeure sur notre territoire, sur qui compterez-vous pour la gérer, pour assurer votre survie, répondre à vos besoins essentiels ? Le citoyen est théoriquement sensé être le premier acteur de sa sécurité civile, pour autant, cette question est un point aveugle de notre époque et du débat public. Dès lors qu’on pose le problème comme cela, deux angles d’attaque émergent : notre Etat est-il à la hauteur dans la gestion des catastrophes majeures d’une part, et le citoyen est-il conscient de son rôle dans la sécurité civile de son État ?
There is about a 40% chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level in at least one of the next five years – and these odds are increasing with time, according to a new climate update issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). There is a 90% likelihood of at least one year between 2021-2025 becoming the warmest on record, which would dislodge 2016 from the top ranking, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced by the United Kingdom’s Met Office, the WMO lead centre for such predictions.
C’est avec ce titre choc que vient d’être présenté le nouveau rapport de l’organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (l’OCDE 2020) qui évalue les performances environnementales de la Belgique. Il était attendu de longue date, la dernière évaluation remontant à 2007. Publié la même semaine que le mémorandum de la coalition climat, cette analyse de l’OCDE est une expertise supplémentaire, qui nous indique qu’il est grand temps de prendre des mesures environnementales importantes
The latest report from the Climate Council of Australia, Aim High, Go Fast: Why Emissions Need to Plummet This Decade, lays out the science behind the necessity of urgent near-term climate action. The diagnosis is in, now the treatment must be ramped up with a greater sense of urgency than ever before, and we have to do it in the next 10 years.
Au bout du monde, au-delà du cercle polaire, deux scientifiques russes, Serguei Zimov et son fils Nikita, mènent une expérience unique : le Pleistocene Park. Ici, les Zimov restaurent l’ancien écosystème des steppes de Sibérie pour sauver la planète d’une catastrophe annoncée : la fonte du permafrost. Ce glacier souterrain contient des milliards de tonnes de carbone. En se libérant, ce dernier accélère le réchauffement climatique. Selon l’hypothèse révolutionnaire des Zimov une réintroduction des grands herbivores en Sibérie pourrait ralentir la dégradation du permafrost.
Il est aujourd’hui consultant et conférencier sur les questions d’énergie, de climat et de transition écologique. Il a notamment été le coordinateur de la commission environnement au parti Nouvelle Donne, et référent du programme de Charlotte Marchandise, candidate citoyenne à l’élection présidentielle. Il est membre du conseil d’administration de l’association Adrastia, qui travaille sur l’anticipation du déclin de la civilisation thermo-industrielle.
What kind of economic system is most conducive to human wellbeing? That question has come to define the current era, because, after 40 years of neoliberalism in the United States and other advanced economies, we know what doesn’t work.

Consumerism is the major cause of global warming and wrecking the planet for future generations. It is driven by a growth economy that favors the ever-expanding consumption of the already very affluent and has allowed the gap between the richest and poorest to grow to inflammatory proportions, both within the nation-state and globally. Today 16 percent of the global population consumes 80 percent of its resources. Americans alone are responsible for around 25 percent of global carbon emissions, and their ecological footprint is five times the global capacity of 1.8 hectares per capita.
