Amid record heat and wildfire, countries resort to drastic steps (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world is staggering under climate extremes this summer that have forced governments to take drastic steps to deal with record-setting heat and wildfire. On Europe’s Danube River, Romania blew up a rock outcrop and Hungary sank two barges this month to keep the dwindling water flowing to nuclear power plants downstream. France conducted its largest evacuation outside wartime when it ordered 220,000 people in July to leave an area in the country’s west where wildfire was raging. After record-s
EVs drive down China’s oil demand as Iran war slogs on (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Electric vehicles displaced 1.5 million barrels of oil a day in China during the second quarter of the year, nearly doubling expectations, according to the International Energy Agency. The growth suggests that the use of electric cars is accelerating as the country — which dominates global manufacturing of battery-powered vehicles — faces oil supply disruptions as the U.S.-led war against Iran approaches the six-month mark, the Paris-based agency said in its latest oil market report. IEA determi
Philippines steps up solar transition as Iran war hikes energy costs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Iran war is accelerating the transition to clean energy in the Philippines, a nation heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels that recently became the world’s second-biggest spender on solar panels. The spending has been a particular boon to rooftop solar arrays as demand for panels has soared among residents and businesses amid rising electricity prices and concerns over supply shortfalls. “[In] the first 100 days since the announcement of an energy crisis, which was March 23 here in the Ph
Heat deaths to skyrocket in countries lacking adequate electricity, study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Extreme heat could lead to 430,000 additional deaths each year by 2050, with the greatest rise in countries that lack adequate power for air conditioning, according to new research. The study — from the Climate Impact Lab at the University of Chicago — highlights the central role energy plays in adapting to global warming. It predicts that the greatest number of deaths will occur in places that will experience more extreme heat but lack the energy and resources to harness air conditioning. That
UN uses AI to curb methane emissions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United Nations is using artificial intelligence to more quickly identify emissions of a potent climate pollutant and alert governments and companies to act on them. In the past two years, AI models have reviewed a host of new satellite data and flagged between 80 and 85 percent of methane releases for potential patching, according to a new report by the U.N. Environment Programme, which launched a Methane Alert and Response System in 2024. That system has detected leaks that have released ro
