UN agency says El Niño and human-induced climate breakdown could combine to push temperatures into ‘uncharted territory’
The world is almost certain to experience new record temperatures in the next five years, and temperatures are likely to rise by more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, scientists have warned.
The breaching of the crucial 1.5C threshold, which scientists have warned could have dire consequences, should be only temporary, according to research from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
In 2018, Husky Energy asked Stephen Mason, who has years of experience developing oil and gas projects on the African continent, to get First Nations together to put in a bid to buy the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) Pipeline. Husky, which has since been bought by Cenovus, had already booked space on the yet-to-be-built pipeline to get its oil from Alberta to the Pacific coast, where it could sell at higher prices.
Pipeline watchers say Ottawa may need to take a haircut if it wants to find a buyer
The overbudget Trans Mountain expansion project owes its lenders at least $23 billion and is looking to take on more private debt as the federal government shuts its wallet and construction costs skyrocket.
"A competent civilization would also tax out of existence monster homes. They also represent another issue no political leader wants to tackle: rampant economic inequality."
“I don't see any language in this resolution that identifies the root of the problem,” said [Galen] Crampsey, who identified the ruling class as the source of the cost of living and climate crises.
‘No other way to do it’: Biden about to go big on power plants
Historically strict EPA regulations on coal- and gas-fired power plants are due out. They face legal and political peril.
The Biden administration is poised to unveil its most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the nation’s thousands of power plants — an effort that’s certain to bring a legal and political attack from conservatives but may disappoint some supporters of the president’s climate agenda.
Extreme event would have been expected once in 40,000 years before global heating, scientists estimate
The record-shattering temperatures that hit the western Mediterranean last week would have been “almost impossible” without the climate crisis, according to scientists.
