For years, President Donald Trump has denied the science behind global warming. Since the start of his second term, however, his administration has leaned less on climate denial and more on what might be called climate dismissal: diminishing, ridiculing or rejecting the idea that climate change is worth any effort to study or try to slow. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, President Trump, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

SpaceX Elona Muska ima više od 7.000 satelita u orbiti kako bi stvorio svoju Starlink internet konstelaciju. Kompanija je ranije izjavila da planira da ima čak 42.000 jedinica u svemiru, od kojih svaka ima očekivani vijek trajanja od oko pet godina.
Da bi održala flotu te veličine, astrofizičar Jonathan McDowell procjenjuje da će kompanija morati da lansira ekvivalent od 23 satelita dnevno — i da ukloni isti broj iz orbite, kako bi izgorjeli na vrhu atmosfere.

Over the last decade, scientists have rapidly developed the field of climate attribution research, teasing out the role played by global warming in individual natural disasters. Meanwhile, their ways of tracking a single emitter’s influence on temperature or sea-level rise have grown more sophisticated, as research into climate economics has advanced.

When Argentina’s Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope in 2013, his vision for human justice and equality was so entwined with nature that he chose the papal name Francis, honoring the patron saint of ecology. That belief, and how passionately he advocated for it, influenced the course of global climate and energy policy and in particular the 2015 Paris Agreement. Francis’ 2015 papal letter or encyclical, Laudato Si’ ("Praise Be to You”), was the first devoted to global warming.
