United Kingdom: Now we await the floodwaters, this time with a peppering of pipes and carrots
2013-01-27 01:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Around the middle of last week, I noticed that something was missing from my life. Something I'd grown accustomed to, started to take for granted and found comforting as I leafed through the newspaper each morning. I'm talking, of course, about flooding. Flooding had become a constant in modern Britain. News of killings and currency collapses, of terrible things happening in the Middle East or Africa, of pointless and anodyne political speeches, of endless rape allegations against the dead were...

United Kingdom: Nicholas Stern: 'I got it wrong on climate change it's far, far worse'

Guardian: Lord Stern, author of the government-commissioned review on climate change that became the reference work for politicians and green campaigners, now says he underestimated the risks, and should have been more "blunt" about the threat posed to the economy by rising temperatures. In an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Stern, who is now a crossbench peer, said: "Looking back, I underestimated the risks. The planet and the atmosphere seem to be absorbing less carbon than we expected,...

Forestry Commission ecologist Tom Dearnley said they were "extremely keen" to see the project go ahead at Kielder. Mr Dearnley said: "Areas like Kielder Burn and the North Tyne are good water vole...

United Kingdom: Centrica talks down shale gas but may still invest

Guardian: Sam Laidlaw did his bit to rain on the Davos parade when he dissed the prospects for shale gas as the game-changer that will shake countries out of their economic torpor. Yes, said the Centrica boss, shale had produced astonishing changes in the price of natural gas in America, but it was unrealistic to imagine this could be replicated at least in Britain.
