2+ hour, 48+ min ago (473+ words) I'm angry at a really weak outcome," Brandon Wu, ActionAid USA's director of policy and campaigns said after COP30. I'm angry at the fossil fuel lobbyists roaming the venue freely, while the Indigenous activists were met with militarized repression. I'm angry at all the governments that aren't standing up for their people." Earlier this morning, we were informed by the presidency (of COP30) that there are about 80 countries who have put a red line on any mention of fossil fuels in the outcome from this meeting, this UNFCCC process, this COP." Two camps emerged: About 80 nations, including the world's major oil producers, rejected a roadmap from fossil fuels. Another group, also with about 80 countries, including Vanuatu, demanded its inclusion. With two conflicting red lines, consensus seemed impossible. Over 1,800 scientists who make up the'IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world's leading…...

3+ hour, 28+ min ago (684+ words) Just outside Phoenix lies a desert paradise of rugged mountains, scenic trails, and starlit campgrounds where Arizona's natural beauty shines. Islands and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability are subject to change. Arizona's stunning landscape gets its well-deserved reputation from a pantheon of out-of-this-world natural wonders, like the "needs no introduction" Grand Canyon and the marvelous red rocks (and possible spiritual vortexes) around Sedona. However, Arizona's natural beauty is so ingrained that you can find exceptional scenery at even smaller and less attention-grabbing destinations. The modest Dankworth Pond State Park is a surprisingly rich wetland ecosystem and top birdwatching spot, to give just one example. Immediately outside of Phoenix, the underrated Usery Mountain Regional Park is a spectacular complex of desert and mountain that wouldn't look out of place in a well-traveled national park....

3+ hour, 59+ min ago (376+ words) A protester holds a placard saying "COP30 for system change" during the demonstration. During COP30 in Brazil a demonstration took place in Whitehall, London, as part of the global mobilization "Don't COP Out." The path from COP30 requires fewer pledges and more enforceable governance. Countries already know what must be done. They must do it. It appeared to be a grim d'j" vu when the final gavel dropped in Belem, Brazil and the COP30 text once again avoided naming fossil fuels. But voluntary pledges alone won't get us there. The Global Methane Status Report 2025 finds that despite over 150 countries endorsing the Global Methane Pledge, methane emissions continue to rise. The missing ingredient is enforcement " and the most important development on that front is not the Global Methane Pledge but the EU Methane Regulation. This is regulatory gravity: when the world's largest buyer sets a…...

4+ hour, 19+ min ago (404+ words) Japan was shaken near Ishinomaki, Ishinomaki Shi, Miyagi, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.1 only 7 minutes ago, Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) reported.The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 57.50 km beneath the epicenter near Ishinomaki, Ishinomaki Shi, Miyagi, Japan, early morning on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 2:25 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Ishinomaki (pop. 140,200) located 52 km from the epicenter, Shiogama (pop. 52,700) 70 km away, Tagajo-shi…...
