According to the Swiss regulator,
FIFA used controversial offsetting measures
that are not in compliance with Swiss standards. .
'The Guardian' reports that the decision
comes as a victory for environmental
activists across Europe. .
Fifa has been found out for using false
green claims as a substitute for real
climate action. Sport continues to be
used as a giant billboard by some of
the biggest climate culprits to promote
polluting products and lifestyles,
threatening the future of athletes,
fans and the sport itself. , Andrew Simms, Director of the New Weather Institute, via 'The Guardian'.

bodies like FIFA, used their power

transition, instead of delaying it and
misleading the public in the process, Andrew Simms, Director of the New Weather Institute, via 'The Guardian'.

After 2016, El Nino is back in the Pacific Ocean, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA, declared on Thursday that the weather-changing El Nino that packs the power to blunt the Atlantic hurricane season has begun. El Nino, which in Spanish means little boy, is a climate pattern that develops along the equatorial Pacific Ocean after an interval of a few years ranging between 2 and 7 years. Globally, El Nino has been often associated with severe heatwaves, floods and droughts in the past. Sea surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific Ocean have risen 0.5C (0.9F) above normal and wind patterns have changed to the point where El Nino criteria have been met, the US Climate Prediction Center said Thursday.

After the breach of the Kakhovka dam in the Kherson region, the safety of theZaporizhzhia nuclear power plant might be in trouble, if latest reports are to be believed. The cooling pond at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is in danger of collapse as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the draining of its reservoir. Without the reservoir on the other side to counteract it, the internal pressure of the water in the cooling pool could breach the Dyke around it, a report by the Paris-based Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety has said. The IRSN report suggests that the integrity of the Dyke around the pond could be in danger of collapse even without Russian sabotage. However, the loss of the pool would not necessarily be catastrophic as other sources of water could be brought in, such as pumping trucks, to prevent a meltdown of the plant’s nuclear fuel, but a loss of the cooling pool would dramatically increase safety concerns at the plant. Since the collapse of the Kakhovka dam this past Tuesday, its reservoir has been draining into the Dnipro River and the Black Sea… and will soon drop below the water intakes quantity used to pump water. There are an array of spray ponds that are used to cool the reactor cores and spent fuel at the site… and the much bigger cooling pool is usually used as a water reserve.
