"Human emissions have already pushed Earth into the danger zone.

Multiple climate tipping points could be triggered if global temperature rises beyond 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to a major new analysis published in the journal Science. Co-author Johan Rockström explains the study's findings from a ship on the North Atlantic (filmed 25 August 2022 off Norwegian coast)."

'To maintain liveable conditions on Earth, protect people from rising extremes, and enable stable societies, we must do everything possible to prevent crossing dangerous tipping points.

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/im-a-committed-unionist-but-nicola-sturgeon-was-right-to-see-westminster-as-a-jailor-2150021  I'm a committed unionist, but Nicola Sturgeon was right to see Westminster as a jailor. Downing Street rode roughshod over Scotland’s Remain vote to pursue the hardest form of Brexit possible. And just like that, she’s gone. Nicola Sturgeon’s resignation this morning hit the political world like a hammer blow. Precious few people saw it coming. Precious few predicted it. Suddenly, in the quiet lull of recess, the political world was thrown into disarray. The sum result is this: Britain has lost the most persistently impressive leader of the last decade. I say that as a committed Unionist and a passionate opponent of Scottish independence.

EXCLUSIVE George Eustice claims that management failures and not budget cuts are to blame for not cracking down on water companies

George Eustice, the former environment secretary, has accused the Environment Agency of failing to protect England’s rivers.

Mr Eustice, who is leaving Parliament at the next election, told i that he had personally revealed the true horror of the situation and acted to implement a solution, even if others would get the credit.

EXTRACT 'Referring to Mr Eustice’s allegations, an Environment Agency spokesperson said: “Our current programme of monitoring began in 2016. To suggest otherwise is untrue.'

i and our sister title, New Scientist, have launched a joint campaign, Save Britain’s Rivers, to rescue the country’s polluted waters.

https://lnkd.in/eEumN2E5 CROSS-PARTY GROUP OF MPs CHALLENGE - THROUGH THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS - UK GOVERNMENT’S FAILURE TO INVESTIGATE RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK ELECTIONS. Group claims UK government is in breach of article 3 of the first protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights. 

EXTRACT ‘Lucas said: “We now have no other option than to take our case to the European court of human rights, in order to try to force the government to undertake a full investigation into the evidence, or else we jeopardise the free and fair elections we hold dear and allow Putin to believe that, once again, he can get away with hostile state interference in our democratic processes.”

Strasburger said: “For some time it has been obvious that Putin has infiltrated the British establishment and our government. Predictably Boris Johnson delayed publication of the Russia report as long as he could and then ignored its excellent recommendations.

“Likewise he declined to tackle the tsunami of dirty money the Russian oligarchs have been allowed to launder in London and only moved against them when the Ukraine crisis meant he had no choice.

“Even then he did as little as he could get away with and gave the oligarchs ample time to spirit their assets out of the country. It’s high time to deal with this vipers’ nest and hopefully this legal action will lead to full exposure.”

The long-delayed Russia report found the British government and intelligence agencies failed to conduct any proper assessment of Kremlin attempts to interfere with the 2016 Brexit referendum.

It said the government “had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes” at the time, and it made clear that no serious effort was made to do so.’

Drugs from human effluent are found in almost all rivers and are damaging the health of wildlife.Britain’s fish and insects are swimming in a cocktail of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, experts and campaigners have warned i.

The drugs are not required to be removed from wastewater and research suggests that they are damaging wildlife and risk creating drug-resistant superbugs.

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/unionists-are-deceiving-themselves-nationalism-is-the-spirit-of-the-age-2157276  Unionists are deceiving themselves - nationalism is the spirit of the age.

Under-estimating the strength of the urge for national self-determination has capsized the leaders of many a powerful state. Whoops of joy from Tories and Labour, along with most of the British media, greeted the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon as Scottish First Minister. They portrayed her unexpected departure as a sign that Scottish nationalism has passed its peak and will soon decline since the SNP has run out of feasible options in pursuit of Scottish independence. Sturgeon’s departure was viewed as a recognition of this failure.

EXTRACT

'The Brexit vote is identified as a crucial boost for the SNP since the majority of Scots voted against it, but the toxicity and incompetence of post-Brexit British leadership may have been as influential. Able and charismatic Sturgeon may be, but compared to comic opera prime ministers like Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, she appeared like a combination of Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincoln.

Dim-witted sloganeering dressed up as opinions

Anybody doubting this should watch Sturgeon’s eloquent, intelligent and grown-up performance when announcing her resignation and compare it with Johnson’s self-regarding blather and bombast when he resigned as PM or listen to Truss’s dim-witted sloganeering dressed up as opinions.'

“This is a Brexit government or it is nothing,” says ex-minister and Boris Johnson ally James Duddridge as ERG gears up for battle over Northern Ireland Protocol.

Accepting a continuing role for the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Northern Ireland would be a “declaration of war against Brexit”, Rishi Sunak has been warned by Conservative arch-Brexiteers.

Tory MPs in the European Research Group (ERG) have in recent days been lining up to urge the Prime Minister against agreeing a deal with the EU on the Northern Ireland Protocol that accepts a continuing role for the ECJ as the ultimate arbiter on EU law in the region.
