Tahle kniha je fakt velký počin v mapování globální klima-popíračské lobby. Žádný aktivismus, ale seriózní syntéza, publikovaná v Oxford University Press jako open access: https://lnkd.in/eUxK2AZE

🌍 Kniha ukazuje, že klimatická politika neselhala - byla zablokována.

🛑 Fosilní, zemědělské i technologické korporace po celém světě brzdí klimatická opatření prostřednictvím lobbingu, greenwashingu a dezinformací.

📖 Tým 100+ vědců popisuje, jak tyto mechanismy fungují - a jak je možné se jim bránit právními, mediálními a advokačními prostředky.

💡 Pokud se zajímáte o klimatickou politiku/komunikaci vědy, opravdu zásadní čtení. A za mě osobně velké plus, že se kniha zaměřuje i na popíračství na Globálním Jihu, což je kapitola sama pro sebe - a velmi podceňovaná.

Trump calls climate science a ‘con job’. That could make tackling the crisis a whole lot easier | Francesco Grillo | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/13/donald-trump-withdrawal-paris-agreement-tackling-climate-crisis-easier

Paradoxically, Trump’s reversal provides an opportunity for others to advance the climate agenda: to sketch out the blueprint of a possible new world order without the US, even if Washington was the architect of the old one.

A new arrangement could even emerge at the UN climate summit, Cop30, in Brazil next month. Success will depend on the leadership capability of an unlikely duo: the host country, which is one of the founding Brics nations, and the EU, still the core political community in a fractured western alliance.

Even if the entire world transitions away from fossil fuels, the way we farm and eat will cause global temperatures to rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

The new report builds on the commission’s first report, published in 2019 — an enormous undertaking that examined how to meet the nutritional needs of a growing global population while staying within planetary boundaries. It was highly influential and widely cited in both policy and academic literature, but it was also ruthlessly attacked in an intensive smear campaign by meat industry-aligned groups, academics, and influencers — a form of “mis- and disinformation and denialism on climate science.”

“The diets of the richest 30% of the global population contribute to more than 70% of the environmental pressures from food systems,” the new report reads.

If globally adopted, this plant-rich diet would prevent up to 15 million premature deaths each year.

China’s giant solar parks aren’t just changing the power mix—they may be changing the ground beneath them. Fresh field data point to cooler soils, extra moisture, and pockets of greening, though lasting ecological shifts will hinge on design and long-term care.

Assessment of the ecological and environmental effects of large-scale photovoltaic development in desert areas | Scientific Reports
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-72860-8

Photovoltaic development has played a crucial role in mitigating the energy crisis and addressing global climate change. However, it has also had significant impacts on the ecological environment. To ensure the sustainable growth of the photovoltaic industry, it is essential to establish an indicator system to assess the ecological and environmental effects of photovoltaic development. This study utilizes the Driving-Pressure–Status–Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework to create an indicator system for evaluating the ecological and environmental effects of desert photovoltaic development. The study evaluates the ecological and environmental effects at the on-site (WPS), transitional zone (TPS), and off-site (OPS) areas of the Qinghai Gonghe Photovoltaic Park in China. The entropy weight method was utilized to calculate indicator weights, while the evaluation model and indicators were transformed uniformly to obtain standardized scores for ecological and environmental effects. and conducting a thorough analysis of the distribution characteristics and factors influencing the evaluation indicators’ scores. Overall, the large-scale development of desert photovoltaics in Gonghe County has had a positive impact on the ecological environment. The WPS had better ecological and environmental conditions than did the TPS and OPS, and the ecological and environmental evaluation levels of the WPS were categorized as “general” (0.439), while the ecological and environmental effect evaluation levels of the TPS (0.286) and OPS (0.28) were both “poor”, indicating significant room for improvement. Moreover, all indicators in the scheme layer, which are used to evaluate ecological and environmental quality, yielded higher scores for the WPS than for the TPS and OPS, demonstrating that photovoltaic development has a positive effect on desert area ecology and the environment.

The Trump administration has announced sweeping measures to expand coal production on public lands. It intends to open 13.1 million acres of public land for coal leasing, significantly loosen the royalty rates that mining companies pay, and allocate large sums toward existing coal-fired power plants. A central component of the plan is to dismantle or weaken dozens of environmental regulations that restrict pollution from coal operations and power plants.

The Trump administration’s coal plan does not stop at opening millions of acres of public land or reducing royalties. It is paired with an unprecedented wave of environmental deregulation that collectively weakens protections for air, water, and climate. Rules that once limited carbon emissions from power plants, such as the Clean Power Plan and its successors, have been repealed or replaced with far weaker standards, allowing utilities to emit far more greenhouse gases at a time when global climate goals demand steep reductions.

Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, designed to curb neurotoxic pollution that damages brain development and causes respiratory illness, have been scaled back, with nearly seventy coal plants granted exemptions from compliance. Similarly, the administration has rolled back limits on particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides (pollutants linked directly to asthma, heart disease, and premature deaths) while loosening oversight of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.

Water protections have also been eroded. The Stream Protection Rule, which restricted coal companies from dumping mining waste into rivers and streams, was repealed, increasing the risk of heavy metals and toxins entering drinking water sources. Wastewater and coal ash standards for power plants have been relaxed, enabling greater discharge of arsenic, selenium, and other contaminants into waterways. By narrowing the scope of the Clean Water Act, fewer wetlands and tributaries now receive federal protection, leaving them vulnerable to pollution.

Collectively, these changes lower costs for coal operators but shift the burden onto communities, which face higher health risks from toxic air and water, degraded ecosystems, and accelerating climate change.

BP predicts higher oil and gas demand, suggesting world will not hit 2050 net zero target | BP | The Guardian

Poptávka po ropě a plynu roste. Klimatické cíle jsou v ohrožení, varuje BP - Novinky

Evropský cíl dosáhnout nulových emisí do roku 2050 je v ohrožení. Nejistota vyvolaná válkami a obchodními konflikty tlačí státy zpět k ropě a plynu, varuje britská energetická společnost BP. Důvodem jsou nejen konflikty na Ukrajině a Blízkém východě, ale také otřesy na světových trzích způsobené celní politikou amerického prezidenta Donalda Trumpa.

Ve své nejnovější prognóze BP zdůrazňuje zpomalení přechodu na čistou energii, napsal britský list The Guardian. Konec využívání fosilních paliv je jedním z kroků k dosažení klimatické neutrality do roku 2050, na které se dohodly státy Evropské unie. Za 25 let tak mohou vypouštět jen tolik emisí, kolik planeta zvládne pohltit.

Pozorně sledovaná výroční zpráva britského energetického kolosu nyní odhaduje, že světová spotřeba ropy by měla v roce 2050 dosáhnout 83 milionů barelů denně. To je zhruba o osm procent víc oproti předchozímu odhadu 77 milionů. V současné době se denní globální spotřeba ropy se pohybuje kolem 100 milionů barelů

AI summary:
BP is currently scaling back its green initiatives and pivoting back towards oil and gas production, having abandoned aggressive climate targets set in 2020, despite a recent announcement of its new strategy in March 2025 aiming to "reimagine energy for people and our planet". However, this new plan involves increased oil and gas output and has been met with criticism from climate activists and analysts who believe it undermines true decarbonization efforts.
