Scientists urge UK govt to launch inquiry into unequal health impacts of air pollution. Rivers polluted. Datacentres adding to pollution. Richest 1% produce up to 56 times more carbon emissions than the poorest 50%. Don't bear the social cost. Redistribution can save lives, cut healthcare costs.
Another day, another renewable energy project cancelled and replaced with a data centre (that will raise emissions and fossil fuel use) www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/16/n...
Deutsche Bahn plans to replace all diesel trains with emission-free alternatives by 2040, with battery trains increasingly used in local transport due to their cost-effectiveness and reliability. #Akkuzug #AlternativeAntriebe #NachhaltigeMobilität (translated)
"Is the EV industry primarily a jobs program or is the goal to get us to 0 emissions as quickly as possible" is a tension that is difficult to resolve for cross-pressured Dems
"The easing of strict CO2 emission standards for cars risks being a counterproductive or even 'fatal' measure for the European industry, 'at a time when the race towards electrification is in full swing,' believes Neil Makaroff, an expert in ecological transition from the think tank Strategic Perspectives." #IndustrieAutomobile #PréférenceEuropéenne #TransitionÉcologique (translated)
France and Germany have reached an agreement on the future of the European automotive industry, aiming to preserve the industry while reducing CO2 emissions less by 2035. #IndustrieAutomobile #MadeInEurope #AccordFranceAllemagne (translated)
We have a clear ambition: to succeed in the transformation of our automotive industry while maintaining our climate ambition and our production in Europe. Our course remains unchanged: to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and produce the future electric cars in France and Europe. This is what European preference means," said Emmanuel Macron on the social network X. #IndustrieAutomobile #MadeInEurope #Climat (translated)

The author wrote, from the Renault stand, that expectations were high for the European Union to react to the massive arrival of Chinese vehicles, which he considered a threat to the existence of the French automotive industry. He also mentioned European rules and obligations regarding emissions. https://t.co/f4j0CNQbvZ #Automobile #UnionEuropéenne #Industrie #FR #EU #CN (translated)
The article argues that a ban on new combustion engine vehicles by 2035 may no longer be necessary, as the development towards fully electric vehicles is progressing and the EU Commission plans to only require a 90 percent reduction in emissions from car manufacturers. #Energiewende #Elektromobilität #Verbrennerverbot (translated)
The post said the V4 had joined forces to address high energy prices and called on the European Commission, on behalf of more than 60 million citizens of V4 countries, to take concrete steps to lower electricity prices and review the emissions trading system. It also said the group would not allow something it described as “senseless”. https://t.co/irSTcabbom #Energiewende #V4 #Hochenergiepreise #CZ #HU #PL #SK
In June, the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, called for renewed efforts to reduce methane emissions, which are attributed to 60% of human activity, with agriculture at the forefront, followed by energy. #Methane #ChangementClimatique #Environnement (translated)
A UN report highlights that methane emissions measurements remain incomplete despite progress, jeopardizing the effectiveness of the fight against climate change. #Methane #ChangementClimatique #Environnement (translated)
Affected are households much more than assumed today, say economists Saki Bigio, Diego Känzig, Pablo Sánchez, and Conor Walsh. #CO2Preis #Emissionshandel #Klimaschutz (translated)
