Excellent article by Sharon Lerner. Long, but reads fast like intrigue fiction (but 100% true).

> After the late ’70s, when 3M scientists established that the chemical was toxic in animals and was accumulating in humans, it produced millions of pounds per year.

> all people have at least one forever chemical in their blood, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

> 3M dumped chemical waste in Washington County for decades. A lot of young people got cancer. Some of them made it, some didn’t.

Amara Strande, profiled in the article, died on April 14, 2023 at age 20.

"What Hansen didn’t know was that 3M had already conducted animal studies — two decades earlier. They had shown PFOS to be toxic, yet the results remained secret, even to many at the company."

Commercial companies have institutionalised fooling people, by dismissing their profit is bad for peoples' health while they already know that in fact it is.
It is criminal and should be treated as such.

Central to this verdict was the Court’s decision to lift a ban on overhead power lines spanning 99,000 square kilometres in parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The ban aimed to protect these endangered birds but was deemed counterproductive to India’s transition to clean energy, particularly wind and solar power, which is crucial for global climate action and fulfilling the energy needs of Indian citizens

la France ne fait pas partie des zones qui se réchauffent le plus rapidement. Pour le spécialiste, « le Canada, par exemple, se réchauffe deux à trois fois plus vite que le global, alors que la France, c'est plutôt une fois et demie »

Pour le GIEC, « l’Arctique devrait connaître la plus forte augmentation de température lors des jours les plus froids, soit environ trois fois le rythme du réchauffement climatique »

Les banques canadiennes ont fait l’objet d’un examen minutieux en raison de leurs pratiques de prêt et de leurs antécédents environnementaux, y compris les centaines de milliards de dollars de financement qu’elles ont accordés aux sociétés de combustibles fossiles ces dernières années. Elles se sont fixées des objectifs de réduction des émissions à court et à long terme, mais elles sont accusées de ne pas agir assez rapidement

Le réchauffement climatique favorable au homard canadien

Cette explosion des stocks s'expliquerait notamment par le réchauffement de l'eau, ce qui a permis d'atteindre les températures idéales pour la croissance du homard non seulement en Gaspésie et aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, mais aussi plus au nord, comme à l’île d’Anticosti et sur la Côte-Nord.

Nearly half of Gen Z and millennial workers have left a job, or plan to, because of climate concerns
BYOrianna Rosa Royle

The era of “global boiling” is here, sending shivers down young worker’s spines. But instead of sitting with their anxiety, Gen Z and millennials are trying to save the planet by quitting jobs that aren’t eco-friendly.
