Le MCC Brussels, think tank réactionnaire au cœur de l’Union européenne, lutte contre l’écologie et rassemble les extrêmes droites du continent. Les dividendes du pétrole russe financent sa croisade contre le « progressisme ». […] « Ils sont l’une des organisations les plus riches de Bruxelles, avec une seule source d’argent — leur maison mère, qui nage dans les dividendes générés par des transferts massifs d’argent public hongrois », dit Olivier Hoedeman, coordinateur de l’ONG Corporate Europe Observatory, qui surveille les activités de lobbying auprès des institutions européennes.

Des scientifiques étasuniens ont découvert par hasard un nouveau polluant éternel dans l’air. Il s’agit des Paraffines Chlorées à Chaîne Moyenne (MCCP), que l’on peut rapprocher des bien plus célèbres Substances Per- et Polyfluoroalkylées (PFAS). Quelles sont leurs différences ? Comment définir la découverte de ces polluants ?

Testimony from medics, morgue and graveyard staff reveals huge state effort to conceal systematic killing of protesters

The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.

A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Le politologue Edouard Morena revient sur la 5e édition du Building Bridges, le sommet de la finance durable organisé à Genève en décembre dernier – «Un pont qui donne l’illusion de solidité et de progrès mais qui est inadapté face au choc climatique en cours». Décryptage.

Anthropogenic emissions drive global-scale warming yet the temperature increase relative to pre-industrial levels is uncertain. Using 300 years of ocean mixed-layer temperature records preserved in sclerosponge carbonate skeletons, we demonstrate that industrial-era warming began in the mid-1860s, more than 80 years earlier than instrumental sea surface temperature records. The Sr/Ca palaeothermometer was calibrated against ‘modern’ (post-1963) highly correlated (R2 = 0.91) instrumental records of global sea surface temperatures, with the pre-industrial defined by nearly constant (<±0.1 °C) temperatures from 1700 to the early 1860s. Increasing ocean and land-air temperatures overlap until the late twentieth century, when the land began warming at nearly twice the rate of the surface oceans. Hotter land temperatures, together with the earlier onset of industrial-era warming, indicate that global warming was already 1.7 ± 0.1 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2020. Our result is 0.5 °C higher than IPCC estim

More than two decades on from the protocol, country shows enthusiasm for nuclear restarts over renewables

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.

Country hopes to ensure effects of climate crisis are always considered in business, investment, lending and insurance decisions

McCain, le plus grand fabricant mondial de produits de pommes de terre surgelés, a pris cet engagement dans son rapport mondial sur la durabilité

In the Second World War, Britain’s media was a crucial part of the war effort to save the country from fascism. Now it must meet its responsibility to tackle the climate emergency. The first of the Extinction Rebellion three demands calls on the government to declare a climate & ecological emergency and to work with the media to tell the public the truth of the depth of the crises.
