The UN climate change conference in Dubai is close to a big breakthrough on reducing the gases heating our planet, its United Arab Emirates hosts believe. Expressing "cautious optimism", the UAE negotiating team believes COP28 is gearing up to commit to phasing down fossil fuels over coming decades. Maybe even ditching them altogether. Hosting a climate conference in a petrostate sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but there are signs that it could deliver real progress on climate. But bizarre as it may sound, until just a couple of years ago fossil fuels were effectively "f-words" at these huge global gatherings - rarely ever uttered. The first formal debate about their future was at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021 and the only commitment made there was a promise to "phase down" the dirtiest one of the lot, coal. Let's be clear, a pledge now will not mean the world will stop using fossil fuels completely. We are very unlikely to get any commitment on an expiry date, that would be far too controversial. And "abated" fossil fuels will still be allowed. That is when the atmosphere-heating carbon dioxide they emit is captured to stop it causing climate change. But at least the world will have acknowledged what has always been implied by these negotiations - that we need to deal with the main source of climate change. That would be an historic first and an important step forward. A phase-out is in the text under discussion here in Dubai and is what the man in charge of these negotiations - Sultan al-Jaber, the president of COP28 and the head of UAE state oil company Adnoc - says he wants. Much to his annoyance this desire has not been widely reported. That is at least in part because Mr Jaber has been saying it in the kind of bureaucratic language only the most committed COP-heads understand. He says he is the first COP president to encourage "parties to come forward with language on all the fossil fuels for the negotiated text". He explains he is "engaging with all the parties" and wants them to come forward with "common grounds and consensus". Confused? Here's my own crack at a translation: "I've spoken to representatives of all the world's countries and urged them to agree in COP28's final text to phasing out the use of fossil fuels, or at least phasing them down." Mr Jaber has repeatedly promised this summit will "take a new road", do "unprecedented" things and be "transformational". https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67566443?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bbbc.news.twitter%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_format=link&at_campaign_type=owned&at_medium=social&at_ptr_name=twitter&at_link_id=277E84A8-93DB-11EE-BEBB-40BAE03B214A&at_link_type=web_link&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_link_origin=BBCWorld

The BBC has dropped a bombshell story in partnership with the Center for Climate Reporting (CCR), claiming that the UAE presidency of the UN’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai secretly used COP negotiations to strike new oil and gas deals that would increase global fossil fuel production. This story suffers from serious flaws and omissions, and as a result, is misleading. Yet it’s been seized on by environmental campaigners to suggest that the COP28 negotiations are nothing more than a ploy to expand global fossil fuel production. Dive into this fascinating piece of investigative journalism that sheds light on the ongoing propaganda battle surrounding COP28. Remember, the reality is often more nuanced than it appears https://ageoftransformation.org/bbc-claims-about-cop28-secret-oil-deals-are-flawed/ The original article in BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67508331 Also on this theme, take a look at The Guardian's recent story from yesterday, where their quotation of Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber seems to have been taken out of context. https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/6dbc9101-fc99-4541-84dc-5dcc131a8112#/ What is your opinion on this story?

Human fossil fuel emissions are threatening a key climate threshold twice as quickly as previously thought, a new report says. Researchers say the 1.5C limit could be continually breached by 2029, rather than the mid 2030s. They say record emissions of carbon dioxide over the past three years are a key factor. They also point to a having a better understanding of how the burning of fossil fuels affects the atmosphere.https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67242386?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bbbc.news.twitter%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&at_campaign_type=owned&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_format=link&at_link_origin=BBCWorld&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_link_id=8516E6A6-773D-11EE-9499-9414681DE14E&at_ptr_name=twitter&at_medium=social&at_link_type=web_link

Great progress has been made exploiting wind and solar technology, but if we are going to switch to more renewable power, we need all the energy we can get. Tidal power represents a huge store of it, and the UK - an island nation which experiences some of the world's most powerful tides - is uniquely well-placed to exploit that resource. "Tidal power has really significant potential," says Dr Amanda Smyth from the University of Oxford, "yet it has never been developed at scale." She believes that is set to change. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67170625?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bbbc.news.twitter%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&at_campaign_type=owned&at_format=link&at_ptr_name=twitter&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_link_origin=BBCWorld&at_link_type=web_link&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_medium=social&at_link_id=7FE4AEB8-70B0-11EE-8E24-9E31681DE14E

British broadcasting corporation had shared that some analysts think the final temperature may be the highest in tens of thousands of years, even though July is expected to be the warmest month in data going back approximately 150 years. Even with a few days left, analysts are optimistic that the month will break the 2019 record for heat.The world is about to enter a "era of global boiling," according to UN chief Antonio Guterres. Most scientists concur that using fossil fuels is the main cause of the increased heat. No one can "deny the impact of climate change anymore," according to US Vice President Joe Biden, who called it a "existential threat." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66322608

Every morning (almost) I wake up and listen to the BBC Global News podcast it's a good way for me to be updated on what's happening in the world while getting ready for the day. So I was a bit confused this morning when I listened to today's episode and one of the featured stories was about the CEO of Shell, Wael Sawan arguing that cutting oil and gas production would be "dangerous and irresponsible" and that the world "continues to desperately need oil and gas." Don't get me wrong, I am not too surprised about Wael Sawan's opinion on the matter. But giving the CEO of a massive fossil fuel company the opportunity to speak freely against all scientific evidence on one of the biggest channels in the world. Without him being questioned, and without bringing up other viewpoints is really concerning in my opinion. The BBC's decision to provide a platform for Shell's defense of fossil fuels is a pretty shocking editorial choice. Such coverage perpetuates the narrative of fossil fuel companies, undermining efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable alternatives. We Don't Have Time for that. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66108553

Jennifer says she realized action was needed urgently and she no longer had the passion or motivation to continue studying the effects. Her PhD on melting ice sheets and changing sea levels had taken her to Antarctica, Scandinavia, and the USA but it was while leading a workshop for primary school children in Glasgow that she began to question what she was doing. She put her career on hold in order to take more direct action but she found the scale of the challenge overwhelming. Jennifer is one of a growing number of people who have experienced "eco-anxiety" - a chronic sense of hopelessness and fear of environmental doom. It presented itself as depression and anxiety," she says. She felt completely paralyzed and often unable to get out of bed. It was during what she describes as her "eco-grief" that 33-year-old Jennifer decided she could not have children. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-65633082 She says: "I don't feel like I can have children, because a) the world can't cope and b) I would feel guilty bringing any child into this world."

One of the key moments at the COP26 climate meeting in 2021 saw over 100 world leaders sign the Glasgow Declaration on forests, where they committed to working collectively to "halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030". In total, leaders from countries covering around 85% of global forests signed up. This included former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who had relaxed the enforcement of environmental laws to allow development in the Amazon rainforest. The Glasgow pact was agreed upon after a previous agreement signed in 2014 failed to stem the relentless loss of trees. Now a new analysis carried out by Global Forest Watch shows that the new promise made in Glasgow is not being kept. Losses of tropical primary (old-growth) forests are seen as particularly critical for global warming and biodiversity. Rainforests in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Indonesia absorb huge amounts of greenhouse gases. Clearing or burning these older forests sees that stored carbon released to https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66013854 the atmosphere, driving up temperatures around the world. These forests are also critical for maintaining biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions of people.

Deforestation has to be outlawed
Extreme weather events are already becoming increasingly severe over the world, endangering people's lives and livelihoods. With increasing warming, certain areas may become uninhabitable as farming becomes desert. East Africa has just seen its fifth season of failed rains, putting up to 22 million people at risk of acute starvation, according to the UN World Food Programme. Extreme heat can also heighten the risk of wildfires, as witnessed in Europe last summer. France and Germany burned almost seven times more land than the norm between January and the middle of July 2022. Hotter temperatures can cause formerly frozen permafrost in locations like Siberia to melt, releasing greenhouse gases stored in the atmosphere for centuries and exacerbating climate change. Extreme rains caused historic flooding last year - as seen in China, Pakistan, and Nigeria. People living in developing countries are expected to suffer the most as they have fewer resources to adapt to climate change. But there is frustration from these nations as they have produced the least greenhouse gas emissions. Read more: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24021772

In a two-month sample period this year, BBC Sport identified 81 short-haul domestic flights made by Premier League teams to and from 100 matches. Premier League clubs have been seen flying short distances to matches rather than driving or taking the train. This has been evidenced by Trent Alexander-Arnold's return flight from Newcastle to Liverpool, Ben Chadwell's https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65017565 flight from London to Leicester, and Nottingham Forest's flight from East Midlands Airport to Blackpool.The length of contentious trips, which ranged from 27 minutes to an hour and a half, was disclosed by an analysis of 100 games played in the UK Premier League between January 19 and March 19, 2023. The research provides new information about "positioning" flights, which involve transporting players and staff to matches by flying nearly empty aircraft to convenient airports, sometimes all over the United Kingdom. According to the Research: -Eighty-one domestic visits by Premier League clubs (including return journeys) -Those 81 journeys included 59 Premier League away games, 16 FA Cup away games, and 6 EFL Cup away games. -The lowest journey time was 27 minutes, and the longest was 77. -The typical duration of all 81 journeys was 42 minutes. BBC Sport emailed Premier League teams with travel information. Many "positioning" flights were discovered to have connections in the research. Research Findings: There were 81 player aircraft, and 37 of them had "positioning" marked on them. Flight times for positioning were between 17 and 84 minutes. On average, each of the 37 "positioning" journeys took 42 minutes. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are produced when gasoline is burned in aircraft. Earth will be warmed by these. Short-haul aircraft are the most polluting per kilometer, as reported by the UK Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy. These "positioning flights" get the aircraft ready for its next private charter. Commonly known as "ghost flights," these routes have no passengers on board. BBC Sport attempted to get a passenger tally from the airlines but was unsuccessful. The southernmost Premier League team, Bournemouth, might have more to gain by taking to the air. On March 17–18, they took the 73-minute journey to Birmingham Airport for a match against Aston Villa. This journey took an extra 201 minutes due to the addition of four "positioning flights," three of which went to or from Scotland. BBC Sport discovered aircraft flying from one London airport to another before player travels, in addition to the 37 positioning flights. It could be bigger as a result.

It's another cold snap and the fields of Cornwall, in south-west England, are blanketed in snow. But down a windy lane, Ceri Simmons' home is toasty warm. Her living room is a jungle of hanging plants and, through the kitchen, glimpses of a wood-lined studio reveal Simmons' job as an aerial-yoga teacher. "It's not just lovely for me to have a warm house, it's also important for my clients," she says. The remote village of Stithians, close to the most south-westerly tip of the UK mainland, where the Simmons family live has become an unlikely frontier in the race to decarbonise heating. It is piloting a new approach to low-carbon heating which could be key to the rapid scale-up needed worldwide. The project zooms out from the obstacles facing individual homeowners and designs a heat pump system that can be delivered at scale across streets, towns and cities. In doing so, it could provide a model for urban spaces across the world pondering how to decarbonise their heat systems quickly and effectively. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230131-can-city-dwellers-ever-have-heat-pumps

For years the great presenter was criticised for not speaking out. Now he has his voice, fear and politics can’t get in the way Is there no limit to the timidity of the BBC? Bang in the middle of the row over tweeting by the widely respected Gary Lineker, it now seems to be muzzling the most trusted Briton of them all – David Attenborough. As the Guardian reports today, it has decided not to broadcast the sixth and last programme of the veteran broadcaster’s widely hailed new series on Britain’s wildlife, in which he exposes its dramatic decline, and what has caused it. While the other five episodes of Wild Isles will go out in prime time, amid enormous hype, it will be available only to those who look for it on the BBC’s iPlayer service. Sources say that the programme, already filmed, and entitled Saving Our Wild Isles, is being suppressed for fear of antagonising rightwing groups with “dinosaur ways”. Its showing, even on iPlayer, has already been attacked in the Daily Telegraph for being partly funded by WWF UK and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, two establishment wildlife groups, which it describes as having a “campaigning agenda”. This is not the first time that the BBC has effectively silenced its greatest presenter who – after years of criticism for downplaying the threats to the world’s environment – has over the past decade become one the most outspoken and influential advocates of action to combat the climate crisis and preserve biodiversity. But it is likely to provoke the most outrage. Polls show that more than four of every five Britons believe that the country’s wildlife is under threat and urgent measures are needed to protect and restore it. Well over half lament their own personal experience of declines in insects, birds, mammals and green space. They – and Attenborough – are right. Britain has been officially revealed to be one of the worst countries in the world for the state of its biodiversity, having lost nearly half of it since the industrial revolution. And the government is doing shamefully little to tackle this. As the Guardian reported in January, ministers were accused by their own watchdog – the Office for Environmental Protection – of failing to keep their promises to safeguard the country’s natural environment as its wildlife declined at an “eye-watering rate”. Eye-watering is right. Since the 1970s, the UK’s official State of Nature report revealed, 41% of all Britain’s species have declined, while more than a quarter of its mammals are at risk of extinction. The number of farmland birds has been cut in half over that period. Since the 1950s, more than half of Britain’s native plant species have declined – just a few days ago they were revealed now to be outnumbered by alien species – while hedgehogs have crashed by a staggering 95% and turtle doves by 98%. In all Britain has lost more biodiversity than any other G7 nation, and is in the bottom 10% of all countries worldwide. So what, pray, is so unacceptable about allowing Britain’s most respected figure to present these truths on national television, especially when there is already so much appetite for information about the state of Britain’s wildlife among the vast majority of those who pay its licence fee? And what is so frightful about enabling an expert with more than 70 years of accumulated knowledge about nature to suggest solutions? Mind you, this is not the first time that has happened. David Attenborough was long condemned by environmentalists for failing to draw attention to the growing environmental crisis. In part, this was down to his own past reluctance: “I leave advocacy to [David] Bellamy,” he told me during one of our conversations on the issue. But the BBC has also been culpable, partly out of political cowardice, and partly out of greed: a few years back, it feared that if Attenborough mentioned climate change, for example, that would inhibit overseas sales, especially in the US. Back in 2006, an article in the Radio Times gave the game away, after criticism of the failure of his epic Planet Earth to highlight that the species it featured were being endangered. “The series grinds no political axe,” it explained, “as no programme hoping to sell to 100 countries can hope to do.” Miles Barton, a longstanding Attenborough producer, once described the anxiety: “The more preachy you are, the lower the numbers are going to be.” The BBC is no stranger to timidity, of course. Way back in 1992, Michael Grade attacked its “enervating caution”. But this is of a different order. Putting caution above conservation on a crucial issue of such public concern would be a sad new low. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/10/britain-wildlife-crisis-bbc-david-attenborough

The role of the media is to enlighten people about what's going on. For the BBC it is imperative that they take these motions seriously and come out with research and good information about climate change for the masses that listen to them all over the world. A lot of people listen to the BBC and they should take this opportunity not just to report about politics or other irrelevant information and to report about serious matters like climate change. The BBC can use their peak times when most people are watching television or listening to their radios, to pass these messages across. The media is the most important aspect in the fight against climate change and as such they have to take their rightful place and do what his expected, otherwise what good are they?

According to a BBC study, women represent less than 34% of the nation-negotiating teams at the UN conference in Egypt which is a very discouraging statistic. Despite evidence to the contrary, women are disproportionately affected by climate change since allegedly 80% of people displaced by climate change are women. Activists feel that without increased representation, climate change cannot be addressed, and as a result, women's lives would deteriorate.

Women make up less than 34% of country negotiating teams at the UN summit in Egypt, according to analysis by the BBC. This is despite the fact that research shows women are already bearing the brunt of climate change. Campaigners and government officials argue that women's lives would deteriorate if action isn't taken to mitigate climate change. Indigenous Krenak woman Shirley Djukurna Krenak from Minas Gerais, Brazil, told the BBC that women have always been environmental "fighters." Women, she argued, know "what it is to live in community," and so they know how to care for both people and the environment. Shirley told the BBC that indigenous women "need to be acknowledged and people need to listen to us" because they have always battled for environmental conservation. At the COP27 meeting last week, world leaders posed for their first official "family photo." Only seven women were among the 110 leaders present. According to the Women's Environment and Development Organisation (WEDO), which monitors female participation at such meetings, this is one of the lowest concentrations of women seen at these UN climate conferences, often known as COPs.

Please look at this 2-min clip from BBC showing a 22-year old farmer hit by more unpredictable weather and trying to act on it. As mentioned in the film it will cost extra to get new kit, build dams for storing water, planting trees etc so please support your farmers as much as you can. They do a great job providing us all with food💚 https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/50ba8ef7-8bf7-4df4-b532-1b2f88658245

Totally support all our farming communities. More support is needed for farmers in developing nations - perhaps we could twin farmers to share knowledge and ideas!? 💡💚

The BBC is the national broadcaster of the UK and maybe one of the most powerful broadcaster/news channel in the world, it cannot be used as a main communication channel for climate deniers. In this compelling article, George Monbiot shows how the BBC has been letting climate deniers present their ideas and theories freely on its different channels and programs. It refers to the recent failure of BBC Bitesize an educational website for children. The website was supposed to teach children about climate change and listed the benefits of climate change as so: warmer temperatures “could lead to healthier outdoor lifestyles”, new touristic destinations, climate change could also mean easier access to oil in Alaska and Siberia. The author also shows that lobby groups, questionable think tanks and trade associations still get way more airtime than scientists and experts on issues related to climate change. As George Monbiot writes: "The lesson, to my mind, is obvious: if we fail to hold organisations to account for their mistakes and obfuscations, they’ll keep repeating them. Climate crimes have perpetrators. They also have facilitators." It's nothing new that the media have an important role to play in communicating about the climate crisis, every reporting choice they make matters. We cannot afford to have a powerful news outlet like the BBC giving space to climate deniers.

The climate crisis doesn't represent an issue that bears more than opinion! The international media must collectively adopt a discussion about it out of responsibility, without waiting for a financial return in return.

This is a great 5 min read by BBC News on the brief history of EVs and explaination of why EVs ownership will rapidly grow moving forward. BBC News - Why electric cars will take over sooner than you think https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57253947

The report is a joy bringer and is creating massive enthusiasm not to just know that i'ld soon own or at least drive an EV but to the realization that an industry that produces one of the largest consumers of fossil fuel is unanimously geared for the turn around to produce ONLY EVs. Is it too early to bear worry that some widely selling brands such as Toyota are lagging behind or may be incapable or could not any time soon be planning to go green given that they dominate car sales even to the common citizen in many countries? The end of fossil fuel is crumbling and that will go down with it lots including petroleum byproducts.

Good, but should look at how to reduce the Nr of cars per 100k persons. Slowing down the nr of ICE vehicles to zero as quickly as possible.

"BBC Radio Four, in partnership with the Royal Geographical Society, presents 39 ideas to relieve the stress that climate change is exerting on the planet." "This year, 2021, a number of things are coming together to help achieve a low-carbon future. In 25 years of reporting the environment patch I've never been so convinced that the world has the potential to change. It's about politics: recent bolder climate commitments from the UK, the EU, incoming American President Joe Biden and even China. It's about business: for the first time ever renewable energy investment will exceed that in fossil fuels. And it's about timing: a post-Covid recovery year running up to the global COP26 climate summit in November. But mostly it's about ideas - an eruption of climate change solutions. Applied human intelligence is the vaccine against climate change. I've been exploring 39 inspiring ideas - some already happening, some in development - and meeting the people behind the projects, who each put a big grin on my face. Here are five of the most intriguing:" - BBC News (2021) Read the rest of the article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55429607 and listen to the in depth episodes here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m000qwt3 (P.S I hope these links are available for people outside of the UK.)
