A historic agreement and equally disappointing.COP28, the United Nations Climate Conference in Dubai, agrees with the climate movements:the climate crisis is the fossil fuel crisis.But the countries that signed the agreement do not follow through with this admission.A historic agreement, because for the first time fossil fuels are indicated as the main cause of the climate crisis;disappointing and devastating for the commitments made, or rather not made.With winners and losers. COP28:the transition begins, but with many concessions to the fossil fuel industry He wins the oil and gas industry who rejoices because there is no clear obligation to "abandon fossil fuels" and there are many loopholes in order to continue to exist;they win the United States and China, the world's two largest emitters that can continue to produce oil and build coal plants;wins Sultan Al Jaber, the president of COP28 and of the state oil company of the United Arab Emirates, which obtained an agreem...

While as humanity we increasingly feel the consequences and impacts of climate change in our daily lives, we have been discussing for weeks the book by General Vannacci, best-selling in Italy, which defines the climate crisis is a "bogeyman" and claims that the tons of CO2 that we emit are a good "because they allow us to be born in a hospital". All this in the same weeks in which Copernicus, the European climate change service, he said that in 2023 we had the hottest summer on record.Heat waves, floods and fires have not abandoned Europe and North America.In the Alps, freezing point was reached at 5,328 meters (and it is another negative record).The storm that hit eastern Libya is news in recent days. There is currently talk of over 5 thousand deaths.Phenomena of this type are intensifying as the planet warms. The climate crisis is getting worse and not newsworthy And while it's still there who tries to insinuate doubts And question the anthropic origin of c...

The era of global warming is over and "the era of global boiling has arrived", according to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres.“Climate change is here.It's terrifying.And it's just the beginning," Guterres said.“It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C [compared to pre-industrial levels] and avoid the worst of climate change.But only with immediate climate action." Guterres' words came after climate scientists confirmed that the last three weeks have been the warmest since recorded and that July is on track to be the warmest month on record. The extreme meteorological phenomena that are affecting the entire Mediterranean, increasingly hotter, fires and what we are not doing to prevent them.If we needed further manifestations of the effects of the climate crisis, we are experiencing them first-hand. At all latitudes, from the far west to Japan.Yet, just a few days ago the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, he spoke of "difficult b...
