En 2024, la production record du secteur de l'industrie fossile (gaz, pétrole, charbon) a été responsable du rejet dans l'atmosphère de plus de 120 millions de tonnes de méthane, proche du record atteint en 2019, selon la nouvelle édition de ce "Global Methane Tracker". Invisible dans l'air et inodore, le méthane, deuxième plus important gaz à effet de serre après le CO2, est la molécule du gaz naturel qui s'échappe des gazoducs, des mines de charbon, mais aussi des vaches ou des déchets.

Major economies are overstating how much carbon their forests can absorb in a climate accounting fudge that could allow them to use even more fossil fuels, according to new research.

In the cold, lightless Pacific Ocean deep, the seabed is scattered with metal-rich rocks coveted by miners -- and huge numbers of strange and rare animals almost entirely unknown to science. Researchers are scrambling to name thousands of these newly discovered species. The mining industry is pushing regulators to finalize rules that could open the way for extraction in parts of the vast Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), stretching between Hawaii and Mexico.
