Banking Against Science: Financial Institutions Continue to Fund Climate Destruction

Union of Concerned Scientists

A year ago, GFANZ said all its members “must align” their portfolios to the UN’s Race to Zero “stringent criteria” aimed at halving global emissions by 2030 and bringing net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. Scientists say such targets would help keep the average global temperature increase under 1.5

Disinformation Alert: Fossil Fuel Interests Preparing to Deploy False Claims about New EPA Rules

Union of Concerned Scientists

These new protections will include updates to power plant standards on carbon emissions , mercury pollution , and toxic coal ash pollution , just to name a few. Modeling has shown that coal power should be phased out entirely by 2030 if the United States is going to live up to its Paris Agreement targets to limit global warming to 1.5

The huge carbon footprint of large-scale computing

Physics World

As the world grapples with the consequences of climate change, many scientists have begun to face up to the realities of their carbon emissions. At around 15 tonnes per astronomer, it ran to almost four times their annual emissions from flights (figure 1). © 2020 Springer Nature Limited. kg of CO 2 per kilowatt hour.

Killing King Coal is the First Step Towards Halving Our Emissions

Edouard Stenger

As I have spent some sleepless nights since the latest IPCC report on how Mankind has to halve its carbon emissions by 2030. As we shall see, this is already currently happening, it is the moral thing to do, the best economic choice, and the fastest and easiest way to halve our emissions. Demand response technologies.
