Donald Trump rode to the White House promising to bring back jobs for working-class Americans. But dismantling federal efforts to address climate change will make it harder to deliver on that promise.

The US State Department says the Keystone XL pipeline will create 50 permanent jobs, despite Donald Trump’s previous estimate of 28,000. The US President’s administration has approved the programme and subsequently ended nine years of debate over a project that has divided the climate change debate. Confusion however has swirled around the exact number of jobs that will be created.

Canada’s Liberal government and the bulk of provinces are set to endorse a pact late Friday to fight climate change, even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tries to revive the energy sector with the recent approval of two pipeline projects.

Donald Trump’s surprise victory fanned expectations in the energy industry that he would clear the path for new pipelines, end U.S. participation in global climate change pacts and undo environmental regulations to boost American coal mining.

Space mining is a reality, so governments must collaborate to advance humanity, according to NASA.

Rockfalls in France's corridor of death seem to follow warmer weather – and may become much more frequent as the climate warms

By Laurie Goering OXFORD, England (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A new climate deal this year is unlikely to include enough money or emissions cuts to be effective but a surge of action outside governments could drive a more ambitious approach to tackling climate change, according to specialists. Businesses and cities are coming up with innovative ways to deal with global warming such as technology to make storage and transmission of solar power cost-effective and a push by companies to end deforestation in their supply chains. "The spirit is growing to take action," said Tasso Azevedo, former head of Brazil's forest service and now a social entrepreneur, at the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. Azevedo said until now "it has been easy for governments to stay paralyzed" between pressure from environmentalists to do more on climate change and business warnings that action could damage the economy, but the tide was turning.
