However, this progress could be overshadowed by the rising carbon emissions from wildfires, a consequence of worsening climate conditions. While measuring wildfires’ carbon emissions proves challenging, they can release millions of tons of carbon in a single season

Disturbingly, Canada’s 2023 wildfire season alone emitted an estimated 12 gigatons of carbon, negating almost a year’s worth of carbon savings from renewable electricity

‘Well below 2°C’ Paris Agreement goal will be met, says forecasting consortium

The consortium, whose approach is conceptually distinct from that of scenarios produced by the International Energy Agency (IEA) or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, sees temperatures peaking at 1.7°-1.8°C by the 2040s, with net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2060 and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2080

Most respondents – 57 per cent – believe Australia has started to feel the effects of climate change. But only 15 per cent say climate change is an extremely serious problem now.

About eight per cent think its effects will be felt within the next decade and 13 per cent say they’ll be apparent within 50 years

Inutile de ramasser les feuilles mortes selon les experts!

Les feuilles au sol agissent en effet comme une protection naturelle pour le sol, un refuge hivernal pour de nombreux insectes, papillons et amphibiens, et même une source de nourriture pour certains oiseaux.

De plus, en se décomposant, elles fertilisent le jardin, facilitant son entretien when le printemps arrive

En limitant leur collecte et leur transport, on réduit les émissions de gaz à effet de serre

Most People Globally Support ‘Whatever It Takes’ to Limit Climate Change

Some 78 percent of those polled agree that it’s essential to do “whatever it takes” to limit the effects of climate change, according to the survey released on Thursday by Potential Energy, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, and other organizations. The research also gauged what messages resonated with people the most. The best one? “Later is too late.”

A risky path to meeting climate targets for Stockholm

The Swedish capital Stockholm aims to capture more carbon dioxide than is emitted by 2030. Therefore, the city is investing in new technology at a combined heat and power plant. But it is a strategy that has been adopted without sufficient discussion of the risks, say researchers at Linköping university, Sweden
