Lawsuit from health and environmental justice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’ More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations. Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the “endangerment finding”, which states that the buildup of heat-trapping pollution in the atmosphere endangers public health and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from vehicles, power plants and other industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the climate crisis . Continue reading...

Thousands of lawsuits accuse the agrochemical maker of failing to warn people that its weedkiller could cause cancer Agrochemical maker Bayer and attorneys for cancer patients announced a proposed $7.25bn settlement Tuesday to resolve thousands of US lawsuits alleging the company failed to warn people that its popular weedkiller Roundup could cause cancer. The proposed settlement comes as the US supreme court is preparing to hear arguments on Bayer’s assertion that the Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of Roundup without a cancer warning should invalidate claims filed in state courts. That case would not be affected by the proposed settlement. Continue reading...
Key risks that the European Central Bank is monitoring include the financial impacts of extreme weather events on physical assets and supply chains.
This is a re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Sara Peach The Trump administration on Thursday revoked the basis for federal climate regulations, undermining the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to protect the environment and public health. Here’s what every U.S. resident should know about what just happened. The EPA determined in 2009 that climate pollution endangers public health and welfare. Mainstream, peer-reviewed scientific research shows that climate-warming greenhouse gases are increasing the number of extreme heat waves, severe storms, and other dangerous weather events. Under former President Barack Obama, the EPA reviewed the evidence, and the agency’s “scientific conclusion, known as the...

Open access notables Shifting baselines alter trends and emergence of climate extremes across Africa , Taguela & Akinsanola, Atmospheric Research World Meteorological Organization baselines used to identify climate extremes are routinely updated to reflect recent climate conditions. Yet the implications of these updates for the characterization, trends, and detectability of climate extremes remain poorly understood, particularly in data-sparse and highly vulnerable regions such as Africa. Here, we quantify how updating the reference period from 1981–2010 to 1991–2020 systematically alters the characterization of temperature and precipitation extremes across the continent. Using multiple observational and reanalysis datasets (BEST, ERA5, MERRA-2...

Inadequate food supplies and collapsing rainforests must be recognised as national security threats – not pigeonholed as green issues Ecosystems and national security used not to be mentioned in the same breath all that often – unless environmental campaigners were doing the talking. For years, climate and nature experts have struggled to get across the message that species extinctions, dead rivers and deforestation are an existential threat to people as well as animals and plants. As George Monbiot wrote last week, the publication of a government report thought to have been authored by intelligence chiefs , about the threats to the UK’s national security from biodiversity collapse, should be viewed as a step forward. The risks have become too extreme to be ignored. The document is a national...
The federal government is considering a proposal to establish a new hunting season for tundra swans in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan — a move that one hunter says could endanger the trumpeter swan, a similar-looking, sensitive species.

Initiatives such as London’s ULEZ can be a model for other cities. But even more could be done to save lives and protect us from deadly toxins in the air Breathwork is everywhere, whether it’s in yoga studios, corporate retreats or self-help reels. We’re told to “just breathe”. Be mindful. Lower our stress levels. Inhale. Exhale. In the yogic tradition, bringing clean air into our lungs and our body ( pranayama in Sanskrit) is about purifying and detoxing, and then exhaling what we don’t need. That all sounds great if you live on a remote island or in the middle of a forest – but what if that air isn’t cleansing us, but making us sick? According to the World Health Organization , 99% of the global population is exposed to air-pollution levels that exceed its health-based guidelines and...
Even as weather extremes worsen, the voices calling for the rolling back of environmental rules have grown louder and more influential In the timeless week between Christmas and the new year, two Spanish men in their early 50s – friends since childhood, popular around town – went to a restaurant and did not come home.
