This story was originally published by The Guardian and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
The world is off track to meet its climate goals and the public is to blame, Darren Woods, chief executive of oil giant ExxonMobil, has claimed — prompting a backlash from climate experts.
As the world’s largest investor-owned oil company, Exxon is among the top contributors to global planet-heating greenhouse gas emissions. But in a recent interview, Woods argued that Big Oil is not primarily responsible for the climate crisis.

Tree of Life is based on a large fifth wheel travel trailer with several expanding slide-outs that give the interior a very spacious feeling. The original fiberglass body was lined with rigid foam insulation that is held in place by decorative cedar shingles. A separate metal roof is framed over the original contoured roof. The area under the raised bedroom where the fifth wheel hitch is located has been enclosed to create a storage room.

An inspiring and engaging tale of Patrick Dykstra and a sperm whale “Dolores.”
For years, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe, following and diving with whales. Over the years, Patrick has learned how whales see and hear, how they perceive other creatures in the water and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale – what to do, what not to do and when. This allows him to consistently get closer than anyone else alive – a truly unique skill.

According to two new studies, a significant majority of Americans, including registered voters, want the federal government to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
The CNN/SSRS poll found that, “the broad majority of US adults – 73% – say the federal government should develop its climate policies with the goal of cutting the country’s planet-warming pollution in half by the end of the decade.” The Yale/George Mason poll of registered voters found that, “56% of registered voters think global warming should be a high or very high priority for the president and Congress” and t ..read more

For years, John Kerry and Xie Zhenhua were the two most important people working on global warming
The United Nations climate summit in Dubai was wrapping up last month when John Kerry went to a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua only to find a surprise waiting for him. Xie’s 8-year-old grandson had brought Kerry a card for his 80th birthday.
The lanky American, who had signed the landmark Paris climate accord with his granddaughter on his knee almost a decade earlier, bent down to thank the boy and praise his grandfather, according to someone who described the private encounter ..read more

Proponents of the material tout its non-toxic and mould, fire and infestation-resistant properties
by Edward Helmore
Cannabis sativa, the plant of the thousand and one molecules, has a long and expansive reputation – as a folk medicine, a source of textile fibre for clothes, for making rope or plugging holes in ships.
But now cannabis – or specifically its non-psychoactive variant, hemp – is being touted for something greater still: building blocks for housing that may avoid some of the environmental, logistic and economic downsides of concrete.
The cement industry is responsible for about 8 ..read more

Reducing net emissions by 90% by 2040
In February 2024, the European Commission presented its assessment for a 2040 climate target for the EU. The Commission recommended reducing the EU’s net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 relative to 1990.
The 2040 climate target will reaffirm the EU’s determination to tackle climate change and will shape our path after 2030, to ensure the EU reaches climate neutrality by 2050. The climate neutrality objective is at the heart of the European Green Deal, and is a legally binding objective set out in the European Climate Law.

Ethical capitalism no longer pays the bills
On 4 June, 2004, Kofi Annan ascended the dais at the Assembly Hall to conclude a meeting that would leave an indelible mark on the world for the next two decades. There, speaking to nearly 500 global decision makers in attendance, Annan spoke in soaring rhetoric about a new paradigm for government, business and social leadership. A new era of hope was ushered in.
Almost 20 years later, the first Global Compact Leadership Summit is considered the birthplace of the ESG movement, a kind of constitutional convention for global “governance”. Annan had bee ..read more
