Why the world’s most ambitious coal phase-out deal has failed – and what it means for climate finance
The $20 billion climate flop: a flagship plan to phase out coal in Indonesia hasn’t shut a single power plant.

Modern industrial fertilisers are made from fossil hydrocarbons. In future we can't use that. But, although I am prejudiced in favour of #organic agriculture, I'd be interested to know whether it would be possible to synthesise fertiliser from widely available resources without using fossil hydrocarbon.
Anyone got any pointers?

As Amazon oil drilling begins, scientists warn of risks to a little-known reef
The Amazon region always invites superlatives: the world’s largest tropical forest, the planet’s largest continuous mangrove belt, the river with the largest water volume and length on Earth. That makes any kind of exploratory activity in the region — and its potential impacts on this unique ecosystem — cause for great concern. That’s the case […]

The ban prevents future fossil fuel production in Sweden – but that’s just the start.

"Almost two thirds of all the energy we dig up is wasted before it does a single thing of value, a loss RMI puts at more than $4.6 trillion a year, or roughly $600 for every person on Earth.”

Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves $3.75 in wildfire damages, study finds
Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States. The study estimated that the treatments, such as forest thinning and prescribed burns, prevented $2.8 billion in losses, reduced wildfire spread and fire severity.
