“Dans notre pays, les transports sont le premier secteur émetteur de gaz à effet de serre, et c’est le seul secteur que nous n’avons pas pu réduire depuis 1990. Alors qu’il y a urgence”, a-t-elle déclaré le vendredi 4 août sur Europe 1.
C’est exact, puisque le secteur des transports représente plus du tiers des émissions de gaz à effet de serre en France

Si les citoyens et entreprises répondent présents quant à l’utilisation des panneaux solaires, le gouvernement fédéral lui est à la traine. A titre d’exemple, Sur les 887 bâtiments qu’il gère seuls 37 possèdent des panneaux photovoltaiques sur leurs toits, soit seulement 4% du parc immobilier

The team found that use of the Wolbachia approach should be viable up until at least the 2030s. Beyond that, the model suggests that increasing heat is likely to diminish the effectiveness of this approach. They conclude that more research is needed to test Wolbachia under real-world conditions to determine where its true survivability thresholds might lie

Le gouvernement fédéral a récemment annoncé la fin des subventions « inefficaces » aux énergies fossiles, mais la poursuite de grands projets pétroliers et gaziers, notamment en Colombie-Britannique, ne présage rien de bon pour la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, avancent des experts.

"This heatwave is going to be generally more intense, more widespread and a little longer-lasting than the two we had in July," he added. The combination of scorching temperatures and very low humidity caused water in reservoirs to evaporate at a faster rate, just as consumption was also on the rise, worsening the effects of the long-running drought afflicting Spain

To encourage the use of clean solar energy in Delhi, the city government launched the Delhi Solar Policy in September 2016. The goal of the policy is to set up 2,000 MW of solar power installations by 2025.
According to this policy, all government buildings with rooftops larger than 500 square metres must have solar panels installed
