A new study uncovers Earth’s deep temperature history and shows just how tightly carbon dioxide has always controlled the climate
2024 marks the first time since record keeping began that all of the 10 hottest years have fallen within the most recent decade.
La stratégie rhétorique adoptée par Georges-Louis Bouchez n’est pas une maladresse isolée, elle s’inscrit pleinement dans une méthode populiste qui dépasse largement les frontières belges. L’objectif profond de cette instrumentalisation populiste du droit international est double. D’une part, elle permet d’éviter une analyse rigoureuse des actes répréhensibles commis par Israël à Gaza, pourtant documentés en détail par Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International : exécutions extrajudiciaires, bombardements disproportionnés sur des populations civiles, restrictions délibérées d’accès aux soins médicaux. D’autre part, elle consolide un électorat sensible à une posture autoritaire simpliste, où la violence d’État est justifiée par opposition systématique au terrorisme.
Collapse isn’t loud. It’s not a Hollywood explosion, not a sudden black hole swallowing the United States overnight. There’s no singular moment when the world collectively gasps and realizes everything has come undone. Instead, collapse is a slow, grinding process — insidious, creeping, and patient.
My childhood was perpetually filled with creative people. My parents, both musicians, often hosted gatherings of artists, writers, and performers. At each event a recurring theme emerged: the struggle of the creative mind in a world that seemed increasingly indifferent, if not hostile, to their contributions. Each person laid out what became a very clear window into how our systems exploited and marginalized the most creatively intelligent.
January 2025 was the 18th month in a 19-month period with a global-average surface air temperature exceeding 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service…
Les riches continuent de s’enrichir. Cela ne fait aucun doute. Mais ce que l’on oublie souvent de dire, c’est comment ils y parviennent, non seulement par l’exploitation habituelle, mais aussi en conduisant activement le monde vers la catastrophe tout en se protégeant des retombées.
Gaslighting on a national scale is a political strategy. If you’ve been feeling despondent since the inauguration, congratulations — you’re paying attention. And if your brain feels like it’s constantly screaming into the void, you’re not alone. Millions of people are staring into the abyss of our political hellscape, watching in real-time as the pillars of a functioning society get bulldozed, torched, and sold for scrap.
The only publication for climate action, covering the environment, biodiversity, net zero, renewable energy and regenerative approaches. It’s time for The New Climate.

The CIO of Goldman Sachs has said that in the next year, companies at the forefront will begin to use AI agents as if they were employees — as team members with tasks to do.
For those trying to pay attention in our post-truth, post fact-checking brave new world that has such misinformation systems in it, Dr. Rees is a source to consider. The link: Climate Change, Overshoot and the Demise of Large Cities: Why large cities will need to contract or be abandoned altogether
“Que peut-on faire ?” se transforme souvent en “A qui la faute ?” avant d’atterrir sur “Prenons tous des initiatives à un maximum d’endroits”. A force d’observer ce schéma dans des discussions, je l’ai formalisé en Triangle de l’inaction pour gagner du temps et se focaliser directement sur les initiatives,
It’s better to burn out than fade away…until it kills you.
2024
The year 2024 wasn’t just another chapter in the unfolding climate saga; it felt like the plot twist no one wanted to believe. For decades, climate scientists warned of ifs — if we pass this tipping…
In 2024, global average temperatures breached the critical threshold of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels — a tipping point long warned about by scientists. Instead of catalyzing swift global action, this milestone has only underscored a grim reality: the collapse of our global ecological and economic systems is not a distant possibility — it is unfolding before us. Climate change, combined with the many other dimensions of the polycrisis — resource depletion, biodiversity loss, political instability, and economic inequities — has created a perfect storm. This storm is not just brewing; it’s here.
A short definition of the polycrisis, including global environmental, geopolitical, and economic aspects.
The masses cry out for immediate solutions to long-term problems, inviting despots to lead them.
Why governmental climate plans are a complete joke.
