ALT "Inside the campaign to discredit a key climate science report An emerging field of research that can measure how much climate change has worsened individual disasters is under attack by friends of the fossil fuel industry. Billions of dollars are at stake."

ALT "In the crosshairs is a forthcoming report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that will examine research into the ways corporate climate pollution is intensifying natural disasters."

ALT "Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are changing Earth’s energy balance, which governs the physics and dynamics of the climate system. Earth’s climate is regulated by its radiative energy balance—the difference between solar energy absorbed by the surface and atmosphere and infrared energy emitted back to space. GHGs absorb and re-emit infrared radiation (energy) in all directions, including downward to the surface and upwards to space. The overall imbalance (net total of human and natural forcings2) has led to warming of the climate system since 1750. Advances in remote sensing, longer term records, and analyses provide continued and more robust support for conclusions about Earth’s energy imbalance than was available in 2009."

ALT "Judge orders Trump officials to re-install signs and exhibits at national parks on topics like slavery and climate change President Donald Trump last year directed the Interior Department to make changes to parks, monuments and memorials to address any “false revision of history.”"

ALT "U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston issued a preliminary injunction at the behest of groups representing park conservationists, historians and scientists, who argued that the U.S. Department of the Interior has been engaged in a “sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science.” Removing these signs not only undermines “the integrity of the National Parks; it sets a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization,” Kelley said."

ALT "Climate Standard Setter SBTi Sets New Rules for Companies Seeking Net Zero Carbon removals and environmental credits will now be considered in decarbonization efforts"

ALT "The new rules are “built on a best-efforts framework,” the U.K.-based nonprofit said. “The expectation is clear: Set targets based on science accompanied by reasonable implementation plans, deploy every lever within your control, be transparent about where barriers have limited what was possible, and demonstrate what you are doing to address those barriers over time.”"
