Banning new gas boilers as a no-regret mitigation option by Célia Escribe, Lucas Vivier

“…Abstract The low uptake of low-carbon heating systems across Europe has prompted authorities to consider more ambitious measures, including a complete ban on the installation of new fossil fuel boilers. In this analysis, we simulate the impacts of introducing this ban in France under 11,664 scenarios covering major uncertainties. …”

Design and Construction of a Free Energy Generator. by Tumwebaze, Edwine

“…The main tittle of this project is design and construction a free energy generator where the main objective is to determine whether the concept of a free energy generator can be used to generate electricity without using other sources of energy like hydroelectric power, fossil fuel among others but using the natural properties of magnets (attraction and repulsion of the magnetic poles) to create a perpetual motion which can be used to perform a useful function. …”

A Worthy Heir: Donald Trump, the Republican Party and Climate Change by Jean-Daniel Collomb

“…The article underscores the high degree of continuity between President Trump’s approach to climate change and the environmental policies implemented by his Republican predecessors since Ronald Reagan, which have revolved around a preference for market solutions over government regulations, deep mistrust of environmental multilateralism, efforts to increase fossil fuel production on public lands, and attempts to restrict access to environmental and climate data.…”

Colonial and Postcolonial Logistics by Giulia Scotto

“…In particular, it focuses on Zambia (Northern Rhodesia at time of British domination), a landlocked country located in the centre of Southern Africa, whose historical evolution, since it was conquered at the beginning of the twentieth century, is deeply intertwined with the discovery, extraction and export of copper and with the import of fossil fuel. In the first part, I introduce the concept of ‘colonial logistics’ intended as the modification and rationalisation of territories for military and political domination, and extraction and export of resources. …”
