The US Supreme Court on Thursday imposed limits on the federal government's authority to issue sweeping regulations to reduce carbon emissions from power plants in a ruling that undermines President Joe Biden's plans to tackle climate change and could constrain various agencies on other issues.
The court's 6-3 ruling constrained the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing coal- and gas-fired power plants under the landmark Clean Air Act anti-pollution law. Biden's administration is currently working on new regulations.
The court's six conservatives were in the majority in the decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, with the three liberals dissenting.
Biden called the ruling "another devastating decision that aims to take our country backwards."

World's first net zero carbon hotel opens in London

A new London hotel is claiming to be the first net zero carbon hotel in the world. The hotel named Room2 will use smart lighting, renewable energy and locally sourced furniture - while planting over 4,000 trees to replace the wood it has used.
This looks like a typical boutique hotel room - with stylish furnishings, abstract art on the walls and a comfy bed for a good night's sleep. But this place has some serious eco-friendly credentials.
The bathroom taps limit the release of water, lamp shades are made of recycled glass and the mirrors use locally sourced wood. Room2 in Chiswick in west London has been built in response to growing concerns about the hospitality sector's impact on the climate.
There are even electric bicycles out front for guests to hire.
It's the brainchild of Robert Godwin who wants to revolutionise the hotel sector by introducing environmentally-friendly features. SOT GODWIN
The hotel has installed technology to understand how guests consume energy.&nbsp;On the roof, solar panels provide an estimated 11,190 kWh of on-site renewable energy each year.
Attention has been paid as much to the interior of the hotel as the exterior, with style and substance going hand in hand.
That extends as far as the stairwells which are covered with carpets made from recycled plastic fishnets collected from the ocean.
But the hotel does still need to draw part of its power needs from the grid.So do room2's sustainability claims stand up to scrutiny?

Room2 in says it will use smart lighting, renewable energy and locally sourced furniture - while planting over 4,000 trees to replace the wood it has used.

But this place has some serious <a href="https://www.editorji.com/partner/dw/an-eco-friendly-plastic-substitute-from-germany-1638873875331" target="_blank">eco-friendly</a> credentials.

There are even electric bicycles out front for guests to hire.
It's the brainchild of Robert Godwin who wants to revolutionise the hotel sector by introducing environmentally-friendly features.
The result is what he claims to be the world's first net zero carbon hotel.
Net zero carbon means it removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it emits.

The hotel has installed technology to understand how guests consume energy.
"We have rooms which are fully fitted with data capture, I suppose, for the energy that's drawn from the sockets, how much energy we draw from the appliances, TVs and then dishwashers and so on, along with checking air quality, checking how much hot water we use, so ultimately we're learning how guests use our rooms," says Goodwin.
"And over the course of time we can basically build up a picture about guests' habits and behaviours so that we can make interventions and ultimately see if that has a positive or negative influence on essentially the energy which is consumed from the bedroom. That allows us to learn and make improvements on this building and also into our specification of future sites."
Even in the privacy of their hotel rooms, the system is keeping an eye on guests.
Goodwin points out three infrared sensors which make sure energy is not being wasted, switching off lighting and heating when the room is unoccupied.
Energy renewal is at the heart of the operation.
The hotel relies on its own energy sources for much of its power needs.
"We maximise renewable energy generation on site so that's made up of solar on the roof and 17,200 metre bore holes that go down into the ground, underground to convert 100 percent of our heating, cooling and hot water needs. That way we are maximising the energy that we can generate here on site and minimise what we need to pull from the grid," says Goodwin.
These ground source heat pumps convert 100 percent of the energy needed for heating, cooling and hot water, room2 claims.
In warmer weather the ground acts as a heat sink by taking the heat away from the building. This is reversed in colder weather, when the ground acts as a heat source to warm the hotel.
On the roof, solar panels provide an estimated 11,190 kWh of on-site <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/renewable-energy-to-expand-by-half-in-the-next-5-years-1571728210586" target="_blank">renewable energy</a> each year.
Attention has been paid as much to the interior of the hotel as the exterior, with style and substance going hand in hand.
"100 percent of our loose bespoke furniture has all been constructed on a very local basis, so in this case within 10 miles of this site. And that's a choice which we made in order to effectively source locally, use local materials, local labour and also minimise the amount of distance that products would have travel to get to us," says Goodwin.
That extends as far as the stairwells which are covered with carpets made from recycled plastic fishnets collected from the ocean.
But the hotel does still need to draw part of its power needs from the grid.
So do room2's sustainability claims stand up to scrutiny?
Environmental sustainability and climate change consultant Emelia Holdaway says there are further steps that the hotel could take.
"One area that they might look at is when will they be zero emissions, particularly for their use of fossil fuels, heating and electricity within the project. So they're looking at around half, halving those emissions by 2030, it would be really nice to see their trajectory out to say 2035. It will be possible and there will be solutions for bringing those emissions down to zero, not just net zero," she says.
But she believes the processes they have in place are a good start.
"It is going to be a leap of faith when we don't have all of the answers so I don't think you want to shoot someone down just for saying they're net zero. I think you want to look at how they're being transparent about that, are they doing the best that they can at this point in time and what's the scope for them to go further and are they committed to going further when they can," she says.

G20 leaders meeting in Rome on Sunday committed to the key goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and pledged action on the use of coal.
However, according to a final draft communiqu&eacute; the world leaders fell short on a target of zero emissions.
The pledges by the Group of 20 major economies, who emit nearly 80 percent of carbon emissions, are viewed as crucial to the success of make-or-break UN climate talks taking place in Glasgow over the next fortnight
The leaders reportedly agreed to keep in play key commitments agreed at the landmark 2015 Paris accords.
Diplomats said the language used was tougher than in the Paris deal, but activist groups slammed the final statement as "weak" and half-hearted
According to the statement, leaders called for clear national plans that "align long-term ambition with short- and medium-term goals&rsquo;
Experts say meeting the 1.5 degree target means slashing global emissions nearly in half by 2030 and to "net-zero" by 2050. However, &nbsp;there is no firm date in the G20 communique, which speaks only of reaching the goal of net zero "by or around mid century".

Every load of laundry in a washing machine consumes water, energy and cause microplastic pollution. But there are several ways to minimise this carbon footprint.

Do washing machines damage the environment? How you can minimise impact

Every load of laundry in a washing machine consumes water, energy and causes&nbsp;microplastic pollution. But there are several ways to minimise the carbon footprint of your wash.&nbsp;

Heating water consumes a lot of energy, most detergents work fine with cold water
Avoid washing your jeans, trousers, jackets or dressy tops after one wear
Avoid synthetic fabrics like nylon &amp; polyester that may shed&nbsp;microplastics
Hang dry your clothes to save energy and make your clothes last longer
Too few clothes to wash? Combine with&nbsp;the next load;&nbsp;handwash&nbsp;for urgent needs

Every load of laundry in a washing machine consumes water, energy and causes&nbsp;microplastic pollution. But there are several ways to minimise the carbon footprint of your wash.&nbsp;

Some do it every day, some do it weekly - no matter how often you run your load, washing clothes is a common affair in nearly every household.&nbsp;But this seemingly&nbsp;harmless&nbsp;everyday&nbsp;activity&nbsp;can have&nbsp;a far-reaching&nbsp;impact&nbsp;on&nbsp;the environment.
According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.energystar.gov/products/clothes_washers">Energy Star</a>, the average household&nbsp;runs its washing machine&nbsp;300 times a year, using 300-1,500 watts of energy per hour and nearly 51,000&nbsp;litres of water.&nbsp;And it is possible to release up to 700,000&nbsp;synthetic microplastic fibres into freshwater with every round of washing, as per a 2016 study in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0025326X16307639%20">Marine Pollution Bulletin</a>.&nbsp;Add to this the&nbsp;heat,&nbsp;electricity and detergent utilised&nbsp;every time you do use your washing machine.&nbsp;
All of this calculates towards the&nbsp;carbon impact of doing a load of laundry. This can be as high as&nbsp;3.3 kg of carbon emissions when washing with 60&deg;C hot water in a combined washer-dryer. As calculated by Mike Berners-Lee, a carbon&nbsp;footprinting&nbsp;expert for The Guardian, the carbon footprint is 0.6 kg when washing with water at 30&deg;C temperature and drying the&nbsp;clothes on the line.&nbsp;

If you want to reduce the environmental cost of your laundry, here are some handy tips:&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Use the cold setting:&nbsp;Heating the water makes up a large part of your washing machine&rsquo;s energy consumption. Most modern detergents work fine with cold water&nbsp;and it may even make your clothes last longer. </li>
<li>Wear it again:&nbsp;Save for intimates or socks, you don&rsquo;t need to wash most things after a single wear. Items like jeans, trousers, jackets&nbsp;or dressier tops can be worn more than once without washing. </li>
<li>Avoid plastic fibres:&nbsp;The only way to reduce microplastic pollution is by buying fewer products that create it. Avoid petroleum-based synthetics like nylon or polyester&nbsp;that are known to shed thousands of fibres while washing. </li>
<li>Hang drying:&nbsp;Dryers use up a huge amount of energy and save for rainy or super chilly&nbsp;days, you can actually avoid them altogether.&nbsp;So, hang your clothes to dry when you can and this will even lessen the wear and tear caused by machine dryers. </li>
<li>Combine loads:&nbsp;Many households have a habit of running a load every day no matter what. But if you&rsquo;ve&nbsp;only got a small number of things, save it for the next load and handwash if you need something urgently.&nbsp;</li>
