French tests on VW cars 'show pollution cheating'

Paris - AFP

Environment Minister Segolene Royal said Friday initial French tests had shown emissions cheating in Volkswagen group vehicles, but cars from other brands were in the clear. Soon after the Volkswagen admitted in September that some 11 million of its diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with so-called defeat devices to dupe normal pollution tests, France began a series tests on cars

Ministers in Paris to seek climate convergence

Paris - AFP

Five weeks before they hope to sign off on a pact to curb global warming, more than 60 environment and energy ministers gather in Paris from Sunday to narrow political rifts. The three-day huddle seeks to target areas of possible compromise ahead of a year-end summit in the French capital tasked with inking the first-ever universal agreement to rein in

Colombia drought threatens one of world's top coffees

El-Tambo - AFP

A drought caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon is worrying farmers in the Colombian Andes who fear for their crop -- one of the world's most prized coffee beans. "The harvest is about to be lost. We farmers are in total despair," said Raul Fajardo, 56, who grows coffee beans at 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) altitude on the slopes

Canada's new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed Wednesday to take strong measures on climate change ahead of Paris climate talks in December, after nearly two decades of foot-dragging on carbon emissions. "Canadians expect their government to be responsible around climate change and addressing the impacts of the environment that we're facing around the world right now," Trudeau said during his

Snow mounts in Antarctica but ice loss continues

Miami - AFP

Annual snowfall has mounted 30 percent in West Antarctica over the past century, but the extra powder has not spelled good news for the melting ice sheet, researchers said Wednesday. Instead, the snow is likely a result of heightened storm activity over warmer ocean waters, which are in turn leading to the ice loss, said the study in the journal

El-Nino threatens to wash corpses from Peru graveyard

Lima - AFP

Lawmakers in Peru warned that the extreme weather system El Nino is threatening to wash hundreds of corpses out of a graveyard, and ordered the bodies to be moved. A legislative commission on Tuesday ordered authorities in the northern town of Trujillo to move about a thousand corpses out of the Mampuesto cemetery to prevent them from being washed away

China raises coal use figure by hundreds of millions of tonnes

Beijing - AFP

China has been under-reporting its coal consumption for years, experts said Wednesday after official statistics were revised upwards by hundreds of millions of tonnes a year. Pollution is a growing concern in the world's second-largest economy, whose cities are regularly blanketed by choking smog -- much of it the result of burning coal, which provides most of China's primary energy.

OECD warns Brazil on environment, economy risks

Brasília - AFP

Brazil is destroying an area of rainforest the size of Israel every four years despite major conservation progress, the OECD economic grouping said Wednesday. Biologically diverse Brazil will be a key player among the 195 countries at the UN climate conference in Paris in December, which will look to reach a global agreement on limiting climate change. In its first

West Antarctic ice melt could raise seas by 3 meters

Miami - AFP

Melting ice in West Antarctica is a major concern for global sea levels, and a key area may already be unstable enough to unleash three meters of ocean rise, scientists said Monday. The study follows research out last year, led by NASA glaciologist Eric Rignot, warning that ice in the Antarctic had gone into a state of irreversible retreat, that

Whales on French beach may have washed up voluntarily

Calais - AFP

A school of 10 whales that washed up Monday in northern France may have done so voluntarily after the death of the dominant male, an expert said. Seven of the whales found on the beach in Calais have not survived. "The group was in the middle of a deep-sea migration towards the Faroe Islands to reproduce and feed," said Jacky

China, France agree on need for climate compliance checks

Beijing - Arab Today

China and France agreed that a deal to tackle climate change expected to be negotiated in Paris should include checks on whether countries were complying with their commitments, they said in a joint statement Monday. Each signatory's progress should be reviewed every five years, said the statement, to "reinforce mutual confidence and promote efficient implementation". It was issued as visiting

Heathrow flights cancelled as fog blankets Britain

London - AFP

Thick fog across much of Britain caused travel disruption on Monday with 10 percent of flights cancelled from London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport. The Met Office said the fog could reduce visibility to less than 100 metres (328 feet) but forecast it would lift by the afternoon. A driver died and a five-year-old girl was injured Sunday when a car

India's choked capital fails to collect new 'pollution toll'

New Delhi - AFP

New Delhi has failed to collect a new "pollution toll" from trucks entering the city, officials said Monday, just one day after the levy was introduced to improve air quality in the choked city. India's top court last month approved a four-month trial plan to charge light commercial vehicles an extra 700 rupees ($11) and 1,300 rupees for large trucks
