Washington (AFP) - Des baleines grises du Pacifique ont vu leur taille diminuer de 13% en deux décennies, selon une récente étude qui offre de nouvelles indications sur les effets du changement climatique sur les mammifères marins. Cette diminution de taille pourrait avoir de grandes répercussions sur la capacité de ces baleines à se reproduire et à survivre, et pourrait également toucher leur système d'alimentation, préviennent les scientifiques. Dans cette étude publiée dans la revue Global Change Biology, des chercheurs se sont concentrés sur un petit groupe d'environ 200 baleines grises du...

Washington (AFP) - Pacific coast gray whales have shrunk in length an astonishing 13 percent since 2000, adding to evidence that climate change and other human activities are making marine mammals smaller, a study says. Their diminished size could have big impacts on survival rates and reproductive success -- and trigger ripple effects throughout their entire food webs. For the paper, researchers focused on the Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG) -- around 200 whales that are part of the wider Eastern North Pacific (ENP) population of around 14,500. Considered "ecosystem sentinels," they stay c...

A climate hunger strike conducted in public in central Berlin has been called off after 92 days. The decision was taken on Thursday because Chancellor Olaf Scholz had neither changed course on Germany's global warming policies, nor had he attempted to engage in discussion with the hunger strikers, according to the campaign called "Starve until you are honest." Eight people had participated in the strike at various times since it began on March 7, when Wolfgang Metzeler-Kick stopped taking solids. He spent 92 days without solids, and his fellow striker Richard Cluse 77 days. The aim was to prov...

By Laura CHUNG Sydney (AFP) - Les émissions mondiales de protoxyde d'azote, un puissant gaz à effet de serre également connu pour son usage comme "gaz hilarant" de par ses effets psychoactifs, dépassent les prévisions et mettent en péril les objectifs de lutte contre le changement climatique, selon une étude publiée mercredi. En s'appuyant sur des millions de mesures atmosphériques effectuées dans le monde entier, le rapport du Projet mondial sur le protoxyde d'azote révèle que les émissions de ce gaz se sont envolées de 40% au cours des quatre décennies précédant 2020. Selon elle, l'agricultu...

Washington (AFP) - Climate skeptics are scapegoating a weather modification technique known as cloud seeding to deny the role of global warming in historic floods that have recently devastated countries from Brazil to Kenya. Record rainfall brought to some regions by the natural weather cycle El Nino matches an expected increase in extreme events, experts say. But online, claims have repeatedly been made that geoengineering –- not carbon emissions –- is to blame. "Dubai airport looks like an apocalyptic movie. Videos of the flooding are insane," said Robby Starbuck, a conservative American com...

Global production of so-called sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is forecast to expand three-fold this year, but will fall far short of even 1% of what airlines need to keep flying. That’s according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which warned of "a long way to go" to help the industry go green by mid-century and ditch fossil fuel-derived kerosene. "SAF will provide about 65% of the mitigation needed for airlines to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050," said Willie Walsh, the IATA director general and former chief of carriers such as British Airways and Aer Lingus, w...

First-time visitors to the vast open area in the middle of Berlin often need a minute to take it all in. Stretching out before their eyes is a disused airfield that was constructed by the Nazis in the German capital's Tempelhof district long ago. After the former airport was shut down in 2008, the site was converted into the city's largest public park. Where once planes took off, skaters and cyclists now speed along the two runways. Due to its vastness, Tempelholfer Feld (Tempelhofer Field) as the locals call it, is a popular spot for flying kites. Designated areas for barbecuing, which is pro...
