Sudden cut in pollution in 2020 meant less shade from sun and was ‘substantial’ factor in record surface temperatures in 2023, study finds

Een netwerk van burgers dat een vluchtelingengezin rechtstreeks, actief en lokaal begeleidt tijdens hun integratietraject, dat is het uitgangspunt van Community Sponsorship. Het project van Caritas en Fedasil is net uit de pilootfase. ‘Op deze manier hebben vluchtelingen meteen een sociaal vangnet.’

Une plainte contre le régulateur aérien américain a été déposée au tribunal fédéral de Washington par plusieurs organisations environnementales qui s’inquiètent de la pollution engendrée par l’explosion de la fusée de SpaceX le 20 avril.

Äerdchëff, le premier “earthship” (géonef) du Luxembourg, est sorti de terre à Redange. Un bâtiment quasiment autonome en énergie et en eau, en partie construit en utilisant certains types de déchets. Le gouvernement luxembourgeois veut en faire un projet pilote.

Are you a 'subject', a 'consumer'… or a 'citizen'? The authors Jon Alexander and Ariane Conrad argue that our societies need a new narrative, and it starts by ditching the stories sold by authoritarianism and consumerism.

Today’s oceans are a tumult of engine roar, artificial sonar and seismic blasts that make it impossible for marine creatures to hunt or communicate. We could make it stop, so why don’t we?

As climate crisis allows new maritime routes to be used, sooty shipping emissions accelerates ice melt and risk to ecosystems

Water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas. It’s responsible for about half of Earth’s greenhouse effect — the process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable. Without them, Earth’s surface temperature would be about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius) colder. Water vapor is also a key part of Earth’s water cycle: the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth’s atmosphere, land, and ocean as liquid water, solid ice, and gaseous water vapor.

Over 25 million tonnes of CO2 – equivalent to the total CO2 emissions of Denmark¹ – are exempt from the EU’s proposed carbon price for shipping, a new Transport & Environment (T&E) study shows. Arbitrary exemptions of ships such as those servicing oil and gas facilities, as well as yachts, will undermine the EU’s shipping law and let millions of tonnes of emissions off the hook, says T&E.

The U.S. nuclear power regulator last month suspended the shipment of radioactive materials and a hydrogen isotope used in reactors to China's largest state-owned nuclear company, CGN, reflecting Washington's concerns about the country's buildup of atomic weapons.
