The Guardian has one of its climate change scare scoops for us all to panic about today. Their good friend and climate change guru, Professor Robert Watson has held court and it is clear from what he says that we are all doomed. The UK should take active steps to prepare for dangerous climate change of perhaps 4C according to one of the government's chief scientific advisers. In policy areas

This blog by Greenpeace UK exective director John Sauven first appeared on the Guardian's Comment Is Free. As the science of climate change gets increasingly urgent, the will of Europe's political leaders to act on the climate crisis seems to be weakening by the day.

Peter Hadfield, formerly of the New Scientist, has taken to YouTube to tackle climate change sceptics as he recently explained on the Guardian’s Environment Blog: After questioning and listening to hundreds of climate change “sceptics,” I have found that not all are conspiracy theorists or religious fundamentalists.

I have been gripped by The Guardian’s climate change investigation and reporting these last few days.

Headline to Guardian leader: Economy: Down, down, deeper and down So, err, where does that come from? Ahhhh, yes….. The Guardian, hip and with it as ever. Cultural references to Status Quo circa 1975. Well, that was when the UK was at its most equal ever, wasn’t it?

I ask because there's a bit of a moan piece in today's New York Times, entitled Who leaked to The Guardian and Why, with respect to reports that the new Obama administration is willing to talk to Hamas. Most of the American newspapers are busily denying that there is any fundamental change in policy - but the NYTimes piece also notes that it was the Guardian that broke the news that Hillary
