Earth Overshoot Day: How Can We Create a Sustainable Future?

Published by France 24

As Lomborg explains in an TV interview with France24, that instead of panicking over unrealistic prophecies of unsustainable footprints, we should focus on pulling millions more out of poverty while funding the sort of innovation that will eliminate future risks of pollution and make our land more productive.

One Planet Is Enough

Published by Forbes

We often hear the story of humans voraciously exploiting the world’s resources and living way beyond Earth’s means. On “Earth Overshoot Day”, campaigners such as the Global Footprint Network claim that, by August 2, we have already exhausted this year’s supply of natural resources and Earth is now sliding into “ecological debt” for the rest of 2017.

Pariisin sopimus ei korjaa ilmasto-ongelmaa

Published by Helsingin Sanomat

YMPÄRISTÖNSUOJELIJAT tyrmistyivät, kun presidentti Donald Trump ilmoitti Yhdysvaltojen vetäytyvän Pariisin ilmastosopimuksesta. Eräät väittivät päätöksen suorastaan uhkaavan ihmiskunnan olemassaoloa. Mutta onko Pariisin sopimus todellakin kuin kilpi, joka varjelee planeettaa ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutuksilta? Ei missään tapauksessa.

A tighter aid budget in Haiti means Canada must do more with less

Published by The Globe and Mail

Host to a large diaspora population, Canada has long focused much of its official and private aid toward Haiti – the hemisphere’s poorest country. Recently though, it has pulled back: Haiti fell from top recipient of aid in 2010 to 16th place in 2015.

Al Gore’s Climate Sequel Misses a Few Inconvenient Facts

Published by The Wall Street Journal

They say the sequel is always worse than the original, but Al Gore’s first film set the bar pretty low. Eleven years ago, “An Inconvenient Truth” hyped global warming by relying more on scare tactics than science. This weekend Mr. Gore is back with “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.” If the trailer is any indication, it promises to be more of the same.

Le «morti per caldo» fanno notizia, ma il freddo è un nemico peggiore

Published by Il Sore 24 Ore

In questo periodo dell'anno è difficile sfuggire al caldo, persino sulla stampa. 
«Le ondate di caldo mortali diventano sempre più comuni a causa del cambiamento climatico», annuncia la Cnn. «Ondate di calore estreme cambieranno la nostra vita. Non siamo pronti», avverte la rivista Time. 
Alcune storie fanno più scalpore di altre ma il filo conduttore è unico: la frequenza e la ferocia delle ondate di calore pericolose aumenterà a causa del riscaldamento della Terra.

Un billón de dólares y adiós a la pobreza, según analista

Published by El Tiempo

La pobreza es la aflicción más cruel de la humanidad. Si usted es extremadamente pobre, lo más probable es que no pueda evitar ser víctima de enfermedades fácilmente curables y que causan una de cada seis muertes humanas. Sus pulmones probablemente estén llenos de contaminación, y especialmente porque en el interior de su casa, al igual que les sucede a otros 2.700 millones de personas, usted cocina con combustibles como la madera, lo que tiene el mismo efecto que fumar dos paquetes de cigarrillos por día.

Published by Milenio

Es un trabajo duro el que le corresponde al nuevo director general electo de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). El ex ministro etíope de Salud y Asuntos Exteriores Tedros Adhanom tiene 4 mil 500 millones de dólares al año para gastar, pero cuando usted está tratando de mejorar la salud pública en un planeta de 7 mil 500 millones de personas, debe usarlo sabiamente.

Ciepło, zimno i śmierć w oczach mediów

Published by Listy z naszego sadu

Zabarwione politycznie relacje o temperaturach tego lata dają wiele żaru, ale mało światła.

“Zabójcze fale upałów stają się częstsze z powodu zmiany klimatu” - oznajmia CNN. “Fale skrajnych upałów zmienią nasz sposób życia. Nie jesteśmy gotowi” - ostrzega TIME.

Jedne relacje są bardziej sensacyjne niż inne, ale wszędzie jest ten sam temat: niebezpieczne fale gorąca będą częstsze i ostrzejsze z powodu globalnego ocieplenia.

California is handling climate change all wrong

Published by Los Angeles Times

Gov. Jerry Brown has won praise for promising that California will live up to the Paris accord despite President Trump’s withdrawal from the treaty. He also signed a climate deal with China last month, and has unveiled plans for a global climate summit in San Francisco next year. Earlier this week, California lawmakers voted to extend the state’s cap-and-trade program for another 10 years.

The message is clear: With a few other states, California is going it alone — an approach that is popular locally and resonates with much of the world.
