This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

One climate journalist said to me: “I have the full support from my chief editor. I have even been given a budget increase. My #problem is now the foreign editor who doesn’t give me access to our foreign bureaus when I need them because my stories — supposedly are never as urgent as other breaking news stories — and my other and bigger problem are the news desk editors who don’t give my story a prime time slot or never quite promote it on social #media at the right time of day because they think it won’t perform well”.

In the most extreme of this behaviour, news organisations need to ask themselves whether this doesn’t amount to a form of editorial #greenwashing itself: To produce climate journalism so you can say you are doing it and so you can point to the URL’s of each published story while never really throwing the full #authority and distribution power of your news organisation’s brand behind it.

Given the foreseeable vehement conflicts over climate #policy in many countries, newsroom managers would do their staff and their journalism a favour if they now reviewed or updated their editorial codes of conduct to make sure there is at least a shared understanding in their #newsroom, a shared language on what they think the typical indicators of editorial activism are and — more importantly — of what clearly isn’t #activism in covering the accelerating climate #crisis.

At Agence France #Press, one of the world’s largest news agencies, their Global Chief Editor Sophie Huet is in the process of making sure that their bureaus around the #world include possible climate aspects in every story as naturally as they would already include possible financial angles of a #story.

The growth of methane emissions slowed around the turn of the millennium, but began a rapid and mysterious uptick around 2007. The spike has caused many researchers to worry that global warming is creating a feedback mechanism that will cause ever more methane to be released, making it even harder to rein in rising temperatures.
