UK government pledges £720 million
In response to the UK government committing to give £720 million to the UN's Green Climate Fund, Ruth Davies, Policy Director at Greenpeace UK, said :
"This investment in cleaner and smarter development is a
vital step towards securing a new global climate deal. It also makes sound
economic sense. Helping counties prepare for the impacts of droughts and floods
will reduce the amount of support needed to manage the impacts of extreme
weather in the future. Clean energy in
developing nations can deliver access to basic services for millions, without
increasing climate pollution."
ENDS

Fifty climate
change activists have stopped and occupied a freight train delivering 1,500
tonnes of coal to one of Britain’s most polluting power stations, as David
Cameron prepares to speak at a high-profile climate summit in New York today.
The activists
used industry-standard emergency signals to flag down the 400-metre-long coal
train as it was slowing down along rail sidings leading to Cottam power station
in Nottinghamshire. The main coal supply route to the plant, which is run by
French energy giant EDF, has now been cut off.
Dozens of fully-trained Greenpeace activists have climbed onto
the open coal wagons, and have started unloading the train’s climate-damaging
cargo. They are carrying enough food and water supplies to occupy the train for
the duration of today’s climate summit.

The Spectator has had
a go at adapting to the changing media climate by switching to the deniers new
‘adaptation’ meme. Will anyone notice the pivot? The evidence has been
carefully hidden away on the covers of their previous editions.

Now that I'm out of the water, off the Esperanza and back on dry land, I've been thinking about what it takes to stop not just one oil rig but all of them.
There's no dodging the fact that the oil industry is immense. In the North sea, where we confronted Chevron, companies have spent more money on extracting oil in the region than NASA spent putting a man on the moon. In the Gulf of Mexico, where BP's Deepwater Horizon platform exploded this summer, there are over 3,500 other rigs ready to bore away at the seabed.
