Environmentalists turn out in force to oppose Trump coal ash rollbacks
At a virtual public comment hearing hosted by the US Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday, a long line of environmental advocates voiced strong opposition to proposed new regulations weakening requirements that utilities must follow in cleaning up toxic coal ash residue at hundreds of sites across the country at which coal was burned to produce electricity. “The Trump administration has jeopardized the nation’s drinking water supplies as a favor to polluters,” Lisa Evans, senior...
New York lawmakers pass one-year ban on new data centers
The New York State legislature passed a one-year moratorium on new large data centers, the first statewide ban of its kind if Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul signs it into law. Lawmakers behind the bill say it's meant to give policymakers time to understand the impact of large data centers on the environment and energy prices. It directs the state's environmental agency to create an impact report assessing the amount of electricity, water, and land that data centers use, and the pollution...
EU sues Ireland over failure to protect carbon-rich bogs

The Commission said in a statement that it is referring Ireland to the Court of Justice of the...

How Rachel Carson's Silent Spring changed the world in 1962
Rachel Carson was a marine biologist who wrote three books about life in the ocean, before a letter, published in The Boston Herald, prompted a change of focus. The letter described the deadly impact of the pesticide DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) on a bird population in Massachusetts.

During the first term of president Luiz Inacio ‘Lula’ da Silva in 2003–11, the Brazilian administration slashed deforestation rates in the Amazon, all but eliminating the large-scale conversion of rainforest into cattle pasture and soya plantations. There’s a lesson here for other world leaders: with eyes in space and law enforcement on the ground, governments can help to tame seemingly insatiable market forces, even across one of the planet’s largest agricultural frontiers. Lula, who has...
