$170,000 a minute: why Saudi Arabia is the biggest blocker of climate action Desert kingdom depends on oil dollars but its people already face a climate ‘at the verge of livability’. What’s going on?

Deliberate delay at #COP30 is as bad as continuing to pump emissions into the atmosphere. Doing both, as Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦does, is even worse.

GOOD CLIMATE NEWS: sometimes the PR efforts of the fossil fuel industry are just hilariously fucked

Mi spiace tanto, un professionista preparato, mai banale che amava il pianeta e le emozioni che può dare.

Electricity generation costs would be up to 50% higher in Australia without renewables, analysis shows Griffith University experts reveal that the 30% increase in consumer power bills since 2021 would have been worse under fossil fuel only scenario * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The cost of generating electricity would be up to 50% higher today if Australia had relied solely on coal and gas instead of pursuing renewables, according to new analysis. Right-leaning politicians and climate deniers have seized on the 30% increase in electricity bills since 2021 to call for new coal-fired power plants to replace renewable projects, claiming it would bring down energy bills.

Draghi: EU needs reform to tackle Trump’s ‘brutal wake-up call’ The former ECB chief warned that the EU “must adapt” to existential challenges.

The European Union needs to do a better job of defending itself in a new world dominated by war and cutthroat geopolitics, former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi warned.

The EU Commission is acting ultra vires and undermining years of European leadership on these issues. It hijacked Draghi’s words. Pls interview him if you don’t believe me. As someone involved (until last year) in EU Climate finance diplomacy with China, I find the whole process and outcome shameful

Quote from the piece by author Virginia Lemme: “[O]n the one hand, she emphasizes her role as Italy’s first female Prime Minister and claims a form of ‘matriarchy’ [...]; on the other hand, she openly defends traditional, patriarchal gender roles, thereby undermining the very ideals she claims to represent.”

Abusive feminism in Italy 🇮🇹:

VIRGINA LEMME traces how Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – presenting herself as a “woman, mother, and Christian” – not only systematically restricts women's rights, but civil liberties more broadly.

L’adolescenza climatica è finita, il caldo anomalo non passerà Non sorprendiamoci se nelle prossime settimane avremo altre intense ondate di calore. Conosciamo perfettamente cause e soluzioni: smettiamola di piangerci addosso

La norma mi sembra chiara. Ci vuole il consenso dell’altro genitore. E’ irrilevante che vadano in un palese Schengen o meno

Counter-tariffs would be a silly answer. We should rather raise corporate taxes for big tech and service companies when the UBO are US citizens or are managed by US groups. This in turns hits US investors

🌍 Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: “We need this Government to get a grip in tackling climate change and restoring nature across the UK. Current policies aren't gonna make this happen—but the #CANBill can deliver this. It's time to bring it back, get it in front of Parliament and vote on it properly.”

Melting Ice Caps Could Bring Dormant Volcanoes to Life, Research from the Chilean Andes Shows - Inside Climate News In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased volcanic activity may speed the meltdown.

New research tracks past geologic changes in volcanoes that slumbered deep beneath ice sheets, and what happened when the ice melted. The findings suggest that global warming may be setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions.

It’s challenging to navigate through ignorance, greed and apathy. The 2*C war is lost I am afraid and there are too many hearts and minds to conquer in order to avoid that tipping points get triggered

Lo trovi per la prima volta nel Second Assessment Report dell’IPCC del 1995. Sei lustri….

Millions die yearly from antimicrobial resistance.

Pollution of the environment with antimicrobial-containing waste and runoff from factories, farms, hospitals, and other sources is contributing to its rise.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

Trump gutted two landmark environmental reports — can researchers save them? Scientists working on disrupted national climate and nature assessments aren’t giving up.

The National Climate Assessment — already in the works for months — was gutted earlier this week, when President Trump’s administration dismissed hundreds of scientists working on it..

The National Nature Assessment was cancelled on his first day back in office..

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Ed Miliband’s net zero obsession left British Steel on brink of extinction Ministers were more concerned with their environmental credentials than what it meant for the country

This is a weird piece. Not least because the decision to sell British Steel to Jingye was taken five years ago by Boris Johnson's government and not Labour.

Would add that we're in this mess because successive governments have failed in long-term planning for steel

Europe ‘Frankly Insane’ To Keep Importing Fossil Fuels, Scientist Says Experts have blasted both the EU and U.S. governments in response to a new report confirming that Europe is the world's fastest warming continent.

🚨NEW: Europe ‘Frankly Insane’ To Keep Importing Fossil Fuels, says @frediotto.bsky.social. There are dozens of stories about the new @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate report, so I thought I'd highlight something a little different.

Bloccheranno qualsiasi contromisura e poi accuseranno l’Europa di non avere le palle e di abbandonare le imprese italiane. E si lamenteranno che non c’è sovranità perché chi negozia per difendere le imprese italiane non sono loro ma la Commissione e non è giusto…

Già mi immagino il discorso accorato di Urso che non riesce a mettere insieme una frase corretta, Lollo che chiama Vance per sapere se la porchetta può essere esclusa dalle tariffe e la pesciarola che piange nell’angolo.
