Climate change between the covers

There’s no sugarcoating it — Donald Trump’s first hours in office were the most vicious and comprehensive assault on climate action that we’ve ever seen. What still remains to be seen is how effective rule-by-Sharpie really is and what reaction it provokes.

No El Niño, no relief: January sets another heat record

Pensions vs. planet

Solar and wind are growing so quickly that they outpaced all the growth in electricity demand this year. Which means they started eating into fossil fuelled power, leading to a modest but significant drop in fossil generation and a small decline in global CO2 emissions from the power sector.

Last year, the global concentration of carbon dioxide jumped by 3.5 parts per million (ppm) and reached 424 ppm, the biggest jump since modern measurements began in the 1950s. The WMO says the blanket of heat-trapping gas is now at levels not seen in at least 800,000 years — much longer than homo sapiens has existed on Earth, let alone human civilizations.

In a year when so many people feel overwhelmed or checked out, you’re here. And you’re still insisting that journalism tell the truth about what’s happening to our world. That kind of stubbornness keeps the fire lit under newsrooms like ours.
