‘Historic breakthrough’: Colombia climate talks end with hopes raised for fossil fuel phaseout &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Though solar was initially incorrectly blamed for crisis, renewables have helped insulate Spain from gas price rises caused by war in Middle East &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;One year ago today, all of Spain, and much of Portugal, suffered through a blackout of unprecedented scale and duration. In mere seconds, a cascading sequence of events burst through the grid and created Europe’s first “system black” event in recent memory. &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Of the many clashes in worldview between King Charles III and Donald Trump, the greatest is on an issue the White House has sought to silence: the future of the planet.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For more than 50 years, as the Prince of Wales, the environmentally minded Charles spoke out often, addressing UN summits and closed gatherings alike, to urge better guardianship of nature and strong action on the climate.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The royal visit to Washington will be no exception. The Guardian understands the king will not be silent on green issues, despite concerns within the British government, and sources say the king is likely to touch on the environment in public as well as private. Civil society groups have been in touch with the palace over the potential inclusion of references to the climate and nature in the king’s speech to Congress on Tuesday afternoon.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Governments have done too little to address a rising burden of often avoidable illness, she said. “Successive governments, including the current one, have known this but failed to take the action needed. Turning the tide requires a new approach that goes far beyond patching up the NHS to tackling the root causes of poor health,” she said.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Ministers should force food firms to make their products healthier, introduce minimum unit pricing of alcohol in England, as Scotland has done, and tackle drug-related harm, Dixon urged.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The UK has deep and widening inequalities in healthy life expectancy. It is highest in wealthy Richmond upon Thames, London, where the average man enjoys 69.3 years and average woman 70.3 years in good health. However, in contrast, an average man in Blackpool gets just 50.9 years and the average woman in Hartlepool only 51.2 years.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Labour’s manifesto pledged that it would “tackle the social determinants of health, halving the gap in healthy life expectancy between the richest and poorest regions in England”.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Microsoft and other US tech companies successfully lobbied the EU to hide the environmental toll of their datacentres, an investigation has found, with demands to block a database of green metrics from public view written almost word for word into EU rules.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The secrecy provision, which the European Commission added to its proposal almost verbatim after industry lobbying in 2024, hinders scrutiny of the pollution that individual datacentres emit. It leaves researchers with just national-level summaries of their energy footprints.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The rise of AI chatbots has spurred a boom in the construction of chip-filled warehouses with a hunger for power that is being met, in part, by burning fossil gas. Legal scholars warn the blanket confidentiality clause may fall foul of EU transparency rules and the Aarhus convention on public access to environmental information.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;One vision of the UK’s future involves a decarbonised economy powered by clean, renewable energy. Another involves making the UK an AI superpower.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The government departments responsible for these two visions do not appear to have agreed on their numbers.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) thinks AI datacentres will consume 6GW of electricity by 2030. The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) appears to think they will use less than a tenth of that.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Tim Squirrell, the head of strategy for the NGO Foxglove, said: “The government’s cluelessness over the environmental impact of datacentres would be laughable, if it weren’t so alarming.”&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;The oil crisis triggered by the Iran war has changed the fossil fuel industry for ever, turning countries away from fossil fuels to secure energy supplies, the world’s leading energy economist said.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), also said that, despite pressure, the UK should forgo much of its potential North Sea expansion &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Even on energy terms, the case for expanding North Sea output is weak. Analysis from Uplift suggests that 14 years of new licensing have delivered only around one month’s worth of gas demand. Once climate and nature risks are factored in, it becomes very hard to see how further expansion can be justified. &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;The news is that the state of a crucial oceanic circulation system has been reassessed by scientists. Some now believe that, as a result of climate breakdown changing the temperature and salinity of seawater, it is more likely than not to collapse. This system – known as the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) – delivers heat from the tropics to the North Atlantic. Recent research suggests that if it shuts down, it could cause both a massive drop in average winter temperatures in northern Europe and drastic changes in the Amazon’s water cycles. This could help tip the rainforest into cascading collapse and trigger further disaster. &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;The research comes as the government attempts to rewrite planning rules to make it easier to build intensive livestock farms despite concerns about water pollution, air quality and local opposition, the Guardian revealed earlier this month.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Ammonia emissions are dangerous to human health and the environment. In the UK, agriculture is responsible for 89% of national emissions of the nitrogen-based gas used to produce fertilisers and released from livestock manure. Industrial intensive animal farming increases the environmental and health burdens associated with ammonia, CiWF says in a report published on Thursday alongside the map.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Once in the air, ammonia reacts with other pollutants to form particulate matter – PM2.5, which is considered one of the most dangerous forms of air pollution. The Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP) estimated human-made PM2.5 exposure was responsible for between 28,861 and 29,000 premature deaths in the UK in 2010.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Modelling shows that reducing agricultural emissions could dramatically cut mortality rates.&#60;/p&#62;
