Tougher rules being enforced in Japan will see employers fined if they fail to take adequate precautions to protect workers from extreme temperatures. The revised legislation, which came into effect June 1, is a rare global example of a national-level policy on heat safety for employees, and comes after 30 workplace deaths and roughly 1,200 injuries last year associated with high temperatures, according to health ministry data. Most of those affected worked in construction or manufacturing.

Sitting in his cramped office in Paris, Manfredi Caltagirone admits that one of the world’s highest-profile efforts to cut methane emissions so far isn’t stopping the gas from escaping and warming the atmosphere. Caltagirone heads the International Methane Emissions Observatory, or IMEO, an informal police force that’s the tip of the spear in the global war against the potent greenhouse gas.

(Bloomberg) — Plastics are ubiquitous in natural systems, and tiny pieces of the material have been found everywhere from the Arctic to the Mariana Trench. To test a theory that satellites could help detect the waste on beaches, Jenna Guffogg hauled discarded scraps from a clam-shell child’s pool, bubble wrap, single-use PET bottles and a blue polyester tarp to her local seashore in Australia.

Methane spewing from major US landfills is on average 40% greater than reported, according to a new study published in Science in which scientists used aerial surveys to identify point source emissions from hundreds of waste sites. The analysis suggests that while the emissions are significantly under reported they also present a major opportunity for mitigation because many of the releases persist for months or even years.
