GEO : Comment se forme un lac ?
Hugo Mansoux : Pour qu’un lac se forme, il faut déjà qu’il y est de l’eau. Cette eau peut soit venir d’une source, ou alors d’un ruisseau, d’une rivière ou encore d’un glacier. Et il faut que cette eau puisse à un moment donné être stockée dans une cuvette. Cela peut être une cuvette glaciaire, une cuvette sédimentaire etc. How the fossil fuel industry drives climate change and police brutality By Alexandria Herr on Jul 28, 2020.
Police violence and pollution are more connected than you might realize — and they have financial ties too.
A new investigation documents how the fossil fuel industry finances police groups in major U.S. cities while polluting majority Black and brown communities. The report from the Public Accountability Initiative and LittleSis, a nonprofit corporate and government accountability research institute, details how oil and gas companies are funding police foundations around the country, from New Orleans to Detroit. In some states, the fossil fuel industry has also supported laws to criminalize pipeline protests. According to the report, the oil giant Chevron is a “Corporate Partner of the Police” for the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation and a board member of police foundations in Houston and Salt Lake City. The surprising reasons why people ignore the facts about climate change By Kate Yoder on Jul 28, 2020 at 3:59 am.
Picture yourself giving nearly the same speech hundreds of times, filled with rock-solid facts, detailed charts, and impassioned moral pleas.
Despite years of these efforts, you’re hoarse and exhausted and can’t shake the sense that people still aren’t listening. “It’s a very hollow feeling,” Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, told journalists after giving his 200th speech on climate change on the Senate floor in 2018. He felt like he was talking to an “empty chamber.” His addresses, detailing the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the climbing costs of floods and wildfires, and the flow of “dark money” to block climate legislation, had become a weekly tradition, but there wasn’t much evidence that the hundreds of hours he spent on them had changed his fellow senators’ minds. The curse of ‘both-sidesism’: How climate denial skewed media coverage for 30 years By Joseph Winters on Jul 28, 2020 at 3:58 am.
Ever wonder why Americans have been so slow to support climate action?
A new study lays some of the blame on media bias —for 30 years, three of the country’s most influential sources of news gave too much credence to arguments that the world shouldn’t take decisive action to mitigate climate change. “Opponents of climate action have been given an outsize opportunity to sway this debate,” said Rachel Wetts, the author of the study. Her results were published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Meet UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ new youth climate advisors By Alexandria Herr on Jul 27, 2020. The United Nations is taking the youth climate movement seriously.
On Monday, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres announced a new group of youth climate leaders, ages 18 to 28, to advise him on climate action.

The same industries fueling the climate crisis and disproportionately polluting Black and brown communities across the U.S are bankrolling police foundations, groups which can help militarize local police departments.
That's according to a new investigation from transparency group Public Accountability Initiative and its LittleSis project. Authored by Gin Armstrong and Derek Seidman and published Monday, the report singles out actions from fossil fuel giants like Shell and Chevron as well as major utility companies and leading financial institutions. From Chevron and Shell to Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, the same fossil fuel companies and financial institutions driving environmental racism are also directing and funding police foundations. Published on Monday, July 27, 2020 by Common Dreams Pressured by Climate Activist Groups, Deutsche Bank Ditches Drilling in the Arctic. Climate activists are celebrating Deutsche Bank's new energy policy banning financial support of drilling in the Arctic, a move which comes after years of pressure from advocacy groups.
The bank, a multinational investment company headquartered in Germany, announced Monday that it will no longer offer financial services to new projects that involve drilling for oil or gas in the Arctic. The policy also states it will not fund any tar sand projects or fracking in areas that have low water supply. Concerns over the Arctic have risen in recent weeks as the region has been battling a prolonged heatwave and wildfires, which have been caused by human-driven climate change.

Published on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 by Common Dreams As Planet Edges Closer to Multiple Climate Tipping Points, Scientists Identify First Active Methane Gas Leak in Antarctica "It is not good news." by Julia Conley, staff writer. Scientists have for the first time identified an active leak of methane gas from the sea floor in Antarctica, increasing the possibility that the planet is close to one of the "tipping points" that would put the impacts of global heating out of humans' control.
According to The Guardian, researchers led by Andrew Thurber at Oregon State University found the methane leak in a region known as Cinder Cones in McMurdo Sound, within the Ross Sea. The site is 30 feet below the surface of the ocean. In addition to finding methane dissolved in the water there, the scientists found that microbes which usually consume the gas before it reaches the atmosphere had only formed in small numbers five years after they first began to study the site.
Why are farmworkers joining the strike for Black lives? Shared roots. By Alexandria Herr on Jul 22, 2020 at 3:55 am. At the urging of one of the country’s main agricultural unions, farmworkers across the country walked out on their jobs in fields, vineyards, and orchards on Monday for 8 minutes and 46 seconds — the same amount of time George Floyd was choked under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. This protest was a part of a nationwide “Strike for Black Lives” in which a coalition of essential workers demanded justice for Black communities, including fair voting rights, health care, and sick leave for workers affected by COVID-19. “Most farm workers, living and laboring in remote rural regions, have difficulty engaging in mass urban protests,” said Teresa Romero, the president of the United Farm Workers union, on Twitter.

From the lab to the field, agriculture seeks to adapt to a warming world By Jim Robbins on Jul 19, 2020. This story was originally published by Yale Environment 360 and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. It may be coming to a bakery near you: bread made from wheat that has had its photosynthetic mechanism refashioned to help it flourish on a warmer planet. Despite the fact a number of researchers — some funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — are scrambling to create this new breed of wheat, it won’t be arriving any time soon. Increasing temperatures are already taking a toll on the world’s wheat fields. But a new heat-resistant wheat that will replace the types currently grown is a decade or more off in the future.

EIB at a glance Stakeholder engagement on the EIB Group’s Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025: Turning ambition into reality. In November 2019, the EIB’s Board of Directors demonstrated the EIB’s commitment to support the energy transition by adopting the new energy lending policy (ELP), which phases out EIB support to energy projects reliant on unabated fossil fuel by the end of 2021.
At the same Board meeting, the EIB’s Board of Directors also approved a new level of ambition for the EIB Group towards climate action and environmental sustainability. The three elements of this ambition are to: increase the share of EIB’s financing dedicated to climate action and environmental sustainability to reach 50% by 2025;help unlock at least €1 trillion of investments dedicated to climate action and environmental sustainability from public and private partners by 2030; andalign all financing activities with the principles and goals of the Paris Agreement by the end of 2020.

Methane levels have hit a scary record high, new studies say By Shannon Osaka on Jul 14, 2020.
While the world has been focused on a global pandemic and widespread protests, another crisis is gathering in the atmosphere. And no, it isn’t carbon dioxide: It’s that other planet-warmer, methane, a colorless, odorless gas which traps 86 times as much heat as CO2. According to two new studies out Tuesday, a combination of agriculture and fossil fuel burning has boosted methane to a record-high 1,875 parts per billion in the atmosphere. If unabated, the researchers warn, methane emissions could push the planet toward a world heated up by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, one of the worst-case scenarios for global warming. In the race over how to lower global greenhouse gas emissions, methane — a carbon atom joined to four hydrogen atoms — is often left out of the conversation. It doesn’t hang around in the atmosphere as long as carbon dioxide; when released into the air, it only takes about 9 years for half of it to dissipate and turn into other molecules.

Italie: La mystérieuse neige rose du glacier Presena dans les Alpes 5 juillet 2020. Des scientifiques enquêtent sur la mystérieuse couleur rose d’un glacier dans les Alpes italiennes, une couleur probablement provoquée par des algues qui accéléreraient les effets du changement climatique. L’origine des algues est controversée, mais la couleur rose de la neige, observée sur des pans du glacier Presena, est vraisemblablement causée par la même plante découverte au Groenland, selon le membre du Centre de recherche national Biagio Di Mauro.

BP and Shell will keep (some of) it in the ground By Emily Pontecorvo on Jul 2, 2020.
One of the biggest liabilities on the world’s climate balance sheet right now is all of the oil, gas, and coal sitting in the ground, discovered, but not yet dug up. For more than a decade, environmentalists and scientists have argued that we’re going to need to practice some restraint and keep those fossil fuels buried if we want a livable planet. Now, the “keep it in the ground” movement may be getting its most significant victory to date.
In recent weeks, BP and Shell, two of the biggest fossil fuel companies in the world, indicated they plan to lower the official value of their assets by several billion dollars due to declining oil and gas prices. That means these companies are looking at their reserves, looking at the price of oil and the state of the world, and saying, this is not worth nearly as much as it was before. And the economics of digging it up are changing. Vent, sécheresse et fortes températures, le combo pour un été à haut risque en matière de feux de forêt 2020-07-02.
