Washington (AFP) - Pollution may have forced an Olympic triathlon postponement in the Seine, but on the banks of the Anacostia River in Washington, Dennis Chestnut is also canceling his swimming plans, thwarted by similar contamination. Once known for half-submerged tires, floating detritus and tumor-laden catfish, the Anacostia, sometimes called the US capital's "forgotten river," has undergone a drastic transformation in recent years. Remediation has been so profound that advocates organized what was to be the Anacostia's first legal swim in more than 50 years, after officials in 1971 banned...

Responsable d'environ un tiers du réchauffement dû aux gaz à effet de serre, le méthane est une priorité pour les pays qui souhaitent réduire rapidement leurs émissions et ralentir le changement climatique. Selon l'étude du think tank britannique Ember, seuls quatre des dix plus grands producteurs de charbon indonésiens intègrent les ...
