they're calling their own manager. the complaint basically says "we think the SEC rules say we should be allowed to just throw these proposals out because they're too similar to previously rejected proposals. please, judge, say we're right."

Global carbon pollution from energy hit a record high last year, driven partly by increased fossil fuel use in countries where droughts restricted hydropower production, according to an International Energy Agency (IEA) report published Thursday.

Steep cuts in carbon emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, will be needed in the coming years if targets to limit a global rise in temperatures and prevent runaway climate change are to be met, scientists have said.

�Far from falling rapidly � as is required to meet the global climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement � CO2 emissions reached a new record high,� the IEA said in the report.

Global emissions from energy rose by 410 million metric tons, or 1.1%, in 2023 to 37.4 billion metric tons, the IEA analysis showed.

it's just too hard to reduce emissions right now, they're needed because the economy isn't perfect and there are wars on and other strife is happening but I'm sure that soon the world will return to the heady times of the 1990s and the politicians will deign to lower emissions as a treat for all the good girls and boys who don't ask them for anything or protest and simply vote for the correct party

Safety fears stall U.N. bid to examine sun-blocking climate change tech

NAIROBI, Feb 29 (Reuters) - U.N. delegates on Thursday withdrew a motion calling for more research into technologies that aim to fight climate change by reflecting the sun's rays back into space, amid concerns about health and environmental risks.

Some who opposed the draft resolution at the U.N. Environment Assembly (UNEA) were also worried that the use of solar radiation modification (SRM) might let big polluters off the hook, organisations watching the debate said.

Switzerland and Monaco first tabled the resolution on examining the geoengineering technology in December and it was discussed during this week's assembly in Nairobi.

The original version called for the convening of an expert group that would produce a report examining SRM's possible applications, risks and ethical considerations.

One of the best known proposals for using it involves blasting sulphur dioxide - a coolant - into the higher reaches of the atmosphere.

There are only a handful of small SRM projects in operation. Some scientists say SRM could be made available when necessary to avert climate tipping points.

Critics are worried about possible impacts on weather patterns and agriculture, especially in poorer countries. They also fear SRM could serve as an excuse to delay cutbacks on greenhouse gas emissions.

After going through six revisions over the past two weeks, the resolution was withdrawn on Thursday.

Robin Po�ll, a spokesperson for Switzerland's Federal Office for the Environment, said countries disagreed on how to facilitate better access to information on SRM and "if the gathering of information should only focus on risk and uncertainties or could as well include potential benefits".

"We regret that UNEA couldn�t come to a conclusion on this important matter. However, the discussions have been informative and useful and we managed to start a global conversation about this important topic," he said.

Ali Mohamed, Kenya's climate envoy, said African countries opposed the resolution.

"The science is very, very nascent, and the risks are unknown," he said. "At this stage, there are many solutions to the regulation of greenhouse gases."

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) said the European Union, Pacific Island states, Colombia and Mexico also came out against the resolution.

"These technologies cannot tackle the root causes of the climate crisis and would instead enable major polluters to delay the urgent need to phase out fossil fuels," Mary Church, Senior Geoengineering Campaigner at CIEL, said.
