Skupina senátorů z klubu ODS a TOP 09 poslala k Ústavnímu soudu dokument, který navrhuje neřešit příčiny změny klimatu a práci v oboru přirovnává k vědeckému komunismu.

„Neberu to osobně. Je to text na úrovni hospodských řečí,“ zaznívá od předních českých klimatologů. irozhl.as/xF1

Klimatologie jako vědecký komunismus? ‚Senátoři píšou Ústavnímu soudu nesmysly,‘ ohrazují se čeští vědci

Senátoři se pouštějí do polemiky s vědci. Na čtrnácti stranách píšou, že současnou změnou klimatu se nemusíme vzrušovat, protože se neliší od těch předchozích.

With the EUDR all news are old news. Lets see what else this week brings.

The European Commission must find a rapid solution to the IT problems it claimed led to a delay of its landmark anti-deforestation law, Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera told POLITICO.

Indonesia is fast-tracking a plan to turn 7 million acres of rainforest and wetland into rice and sugarcane plantations.

Critics say it is the largest deforestation project on Earth and will upend the lives of thousands of Indigenous people.
