Given the current state of play in greenhouse gas emissions the point at which we pass the ‘safe’ global average temperature rise of 1.5 degrees is given as likely to be the year 2027, by latest UN calculations. We should already have in place the means not only to reduce emissions but also to start…

A message from Greenpeace… Hi,   Like me, you’ve probably been horrified by images of New York lost in toxic smog and thousands of people left homeless by flooding in Italy.   As a Greenpeace supporter, you know how vital it is that we stop the fossil fuel industry decimating our future.

Today is the last day of the Big One demonstration and event organised and run by Extinction Rebellion and combining so many organisations showing equal concern over our leaders’ lack of urgency on the climate crisis. That and the equally human induced habitat destruction are real dangers to our future and that of life as…
