Des études citées par l'administration Trump n'existent en réalité pas, ont fait savoir les auteurs à qui elles ont été attribuées.

ces politiques visent à transformer en profondeur l’État et la société. C’est tout particulièrement le cas en ce qui concerne la politique religieuse de la nouvelle administration, avec la création à la Maison Blanche d’un « bureau de la foi » (White House Faith Office (WHFO)), chargé de faire des recommandations au président et de consulter sur diverses questions des leaders religieux, qui a autorité sur l’octroi de subventions publiques aux institutions religieuses développant des activités sociales d’aide aux plus démunis.

Victoire pour le président des États-Unis, qui se bat depuis des années contre les restrictions d’eau sur le sol américain, qui l’empêchent de prendre une «bonne douche pour prendre soin de ses beaux cheveux». Rendre leur grandeur aux douches américaines, c’était une des priorités de Donald Trump mercredi, au milieu de la tempête diplomatique et financière entraînée par la guerre commerciale qu’il livre au reste du monde. Le président américain a signé un décret levant les restrictions de débit des pommeaux de douche, qui avaient été imposées pour limiter la consommation.

If currently implemented policies are continued with no increase in ambition, there is a 90% chance that the Earth will warm between 2.3°C and 4.5°C, with a best estimate of 3.5°C.

Climate Obstruction Across Europe, coordinated by the Climate Social Science Network (CSSN) and published via Oxford University Press, reveals extensive networks impeding climate action within the region and surrounding states. In Italy and Germany, far-right networks spread misinformation by questioning climate science’s validity, while in Spain and the UK, blame-shifting and deflecting responsibility for climate action are common. European-based fossil fuel industries, like Shell, engage in greenwashing, by framing gas as a ‘bridging technology crucial for the energy transition’, delaying genuine progress.

Unesco joint research dating back 15 years found violence and intimidation against about 750 reporters and 44 murders

Oil cartel warns ‘pressure may reach a tipping point’ and that ‘politically motivated campaigns put our prosperity’ at risk

UK has led the way, with countries across the continent making mass arrests, passing draconian new laws and labelling activists as eco-terrorists

Several climate court cases have been stuck in legal limbo for years. Now they're about to get a lot more interesting.

It looks like we have to wait a little more to see the end of the oil age. Our desire to burn more and more stuff knows no limits — at least not when talking about the foreseeable future. Statements like “oil will be needed for at least another 10 years” or “independent experts agree that global oil and natural gas demand will increase over the next 30 years” suggest that transitioning to ‘renewables’ will have to wait a little. Will we burn as much carbon as we see fit then? Well, as usual, reality will have a thing or two to say in the matter.

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.

Only the boldest leadership can unite the EU against the delusional tyrant in Moscow. The German chancellor has the chance to provide it

Hugo Tagholm can clear a beach in minutes. He issues a raw sewage alert and everyone races out of the water. Swimmers hate sewage as much as sharks — no one wants to splash about in excrement. But even Tagholm gets it wrong sometimes and finds himself surfing a brown wave. “It’s pretty unpleasant paddling through effluent,” he says. “I avoid it at all costs.”

Scientists have warned that hydrogen could be a significant “indirect” contributor to the greenhouse effect when it leaks through infrastructure and interacts with methane in the atmosphere.

An astute journalist I know once described carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a “delay-and-fail strategy” devised by the fossil fuel industry. The industry’s ploy was utterly obvious to him: Promise to perfect and deploy CCS at some vague point in the future. By the time people catch on that CCS won’t work, the fossil fuel industry will have successfully extended the time it has operated without onerous regulation for another couple of decades.

Experts say scientific advances are making it easier to attribute the damages of climate breakdown to companies’ activities. Businesses could soon be facing a fresh wave of legal action holding them to account for their greenhouse gas emissions, owing to advances in climate science, experts have warned.

InfluenceMap, a think tank that monitors corporate lobbying around climate change, reveals: while the 10 European airlines looked at for this report have received around €30 billion in bailouts during the pandemic – some of which came with conditions attached to encourage climate-friendly actions – most have simultaneously lobbied to delay new proposals to cut aviation emissions.

International lawyers, environmentalists and a growing number of world leaders say “ecocide”—widespread destruction of the environment—would serve as a “moral red line” for the planet.
