Fracking was once claimed to be a way to safely and simply release vast quantities of oil from deep underground. The method consists of drilling holes down into the ground and then pumping liquid down at extremely high pressure to crack the rocks in force the oil/gas back up to the surface.

Trump has changed dramatically what gets approved for federal land, and its not good.
An analysis has shown that Donald Trump is approving environmental projects of any sort on federal land at half the rate that Obama did, year by year, during his term. On the other hand, there has been a marked increase in permission given by Trump for drilling for oil and other fossil fuels on federal land.
It is clear that regardless of the evidence, Trump is determined wherever possible to stymie and limit the reduction in carbon emissions that the USA can reach.

Fracking was once claimed to be a way to safely and simply release vast quantities of oil from deep underground. The method consists of drilling holes down into the ground and then pumping liquid down at extremely high pressure to crack the rocks in force the oil/gas back up to the surface.

Estimates of the quantity of these fossil fuels under the earth vary wildly with low estimates suggesting 2.8 trillion cubic metres going up to around 39.9 cubic metres. However from the beginning of the bush to start extracting these fossil fuels people have pointed out that there is no way we can extract any significant quantity of these fossil fuels and still meet our carbon cutting obligations.

Can we fight climate change or other big threats such as pandemics with populist leaders who deny s
Countries such as Brazil and the USA have recently elected leaders who have denied long understood science. This ranges from health such as pandemics, global warming and the continual lost of biodiversity.
Who in America wants to start getting fewer miles per litre in their car
Trump has continually tried to water down rules set to protect people. There has been a rule that cars had to get 5%more efficient each year. Trump’s law “safe” (the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule), was a misnomer- it scrapped much of the fuel efficiency rules, this supposedly in the name of safety, despite it being illogical. It was clear trump wanted zero, but settled for 1.5%improvement each year.
Trump’s argument runs along lines essentially saying that in order for companies to meet the 5% efficiency rule they would have to to put hundreds of millions of dollars into research which would allow them to build these more efficient cars, and it all this money would be tacked onto the price of creating the car thereby making the cars more expensive.
Impact of corona-virus-over fishing in the Philippines
There have been many catalogues issues with what has happened during the current virus Outbreak. Some of these have fascinated people, the the sudden re-emergence of wildlife back into spaces that humans have left.

Huge green turtle gathering
A gathering of more than 5000 green turtles has been recorded by drone from the air.
While green turtles nest on beaches and therefore can be seen in large numbers around this area, to see them in these numbers at sea is unusual. It seems to be particularly exciting that these sort of sightings are still occurring, particularly given what is going on in the rest of the world.
