The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. What is the future of the planet?In what direction is global warming going?Is there hope to avoid the worst?Are we still in time to stop the rise in temperatures?It's causing a lot of discussion survey of Guardian which asked 380 climate scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) what they predict for the future of our planet.According to the majority of experts contacted, by 2100 global temperatures will rise by at least 2.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, almost half a global warming of 3°C, while just 6% believe that the 1.5°C agreed with the Paris Agreement in 2015. The limit of 1.5°C has been indicated by the international community as a threshold beyond which not to go in order to avoid it the triggering of dangerous chain effects which could irreparably damage some ecosystems of our planet with catastrophic consequence...

The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. For the first time since 2007, Google said it is no longer a carbon neutral company.In the last one environmental report, the technology giant has marked a turnaround in its climate strategy, essentially for two reasons:the development of the artificial intelligence sector, highly energy intensive, That it cost to Google a 48% increase in emissions (+13% only between 2022 and 2023);the decision to abandon the practice of purchasing carbon credits to offset the emissions produced. To maintain the goal of climate neutrality by 2030, Google has decided to change its strategy and focus "on accelerating a series of solutions and partnerships for carbon emissions".This is an important turning point because it is the first time that a large company has renounced the compensation of emissions produced through the acquisition of carbon credits. Carbon offsetting is the di...

The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. After more than four years of negotiations, repeated delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and late-night talks, on December 18, nearly 200 countries - among them not the United States or the Vatican - they signed an agreement at COP15 on biological diversity, hosted by Canada and China, to halt biodiversity loss by 2030.The agreement, defined as one of a kind, appears to have been imposed by the Chinese president, ignoring the objections of some African states. The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) negotiator appeared to block the final deal presented by China, telling the plenary that he could not support a document that did not create a new biodiversity fund, distinct from the existing UN Global Fund. Environment Facility (GEF).China, Brazil, Indonesia, India and Mexico are the largest beneficiaries of GEF funds, and some African states wanted the final agreement to include more...
