Whatever concerns Climate change goes here…
This is a huge privilege for me to present you today the first guest post written for Elrst. Her author, Daryl Warner Laux and I have been exchanging mails and views for the past months. Verda Vivo, Daryl’s blog, reflects her passion for environmental issues, climate change, conservation, pollution, recycling, organics and “going green”. I recently …
The WWF published this week a study on how climate change is accelerating. The new evidence show that the alarmist predictions of the IPCC underestimated the threat. As greenhouse gases emissions keep on increasing, strong leadership on mitigation is needed more than ever. The EU could do that but decreased recently its ambitions. Today’s post …

Some are trying to convince the public that clean coal is the ultimate solution to all our needs. Even if I already stated my opinion on what I consider as the panacea, I will rebut their arguments. Clean Technica outlined no less than five reasons why clean coal will never happen, or if it would …
Lester Brown, the famous US environmentalist – founder of the Worldwatch Institute and President of the Earth Policy Institute – was interviewed by the French Magazine Terra Economica. Everything from climate change to the current crises we are facing is tackled and Mr. Brown’s opinions on what he calls the first 21st century ecological crisis …
According to a study from the European Environment Agency, the World Health Organization and the European Commission the EU is warming faster than other regions. This report also provides further data on rising sea levels and temperatures forecasts which are higher than the one given last year by the specialists of the IPCC. This reports …
This is the amount we literally dumped in our atmosphere last year alone and this keeps on increasing according to new research carried out by the Global Carbon Project. It’s no surprise as I evoked it earlier, but this new study provides further data and details according to countries (or continents) but also of activities …
You perhaps read it before somewhere else as I am pretty late on this, but Arctic sea ice melt to a worrying extent this summer and almost beat last year’s record. But according to the people from the WWF, the extent may not be as small as last year, but in terms of thickness – …
As we saw three weeks ago in my article on the scientific data on level sea rise, the melting of both Arctic and Antarctica are one of the main components of the phenomenon. Even if the Arctic is quite well documented, Antarctica is not that well known. 25 times bigger than France and weighting billions …
The economic capital city of Brazil is willing to act strongly on global warming. To do so, a law might be passed to cut its greenhouse gases emissions by up to 30 percent by 2012. This is a brilliant thing. It occurs as rich nations are wondering if they could slash their own emissions by …
By browsing TreeHugger and other sites, I came across a news on how Japan plans to put 4 billion USD (2.80 billion euros) in its climate change mitigation schemes. This occurs as the country see its greenhouse gases emissions increase and is far from achieving its Kyoto Protocol goals, and this even with the efforts …
