She and her crew are en route to Copenhagen for the UN climate conference next month, but she'll be harbouring in London and Edinburgh over the next couple of weeks and her gangplanks will be lowered for anyone who wants to visit.

Edinburgh at night
Smaller power stations closer to city will slash emissions and close door on nuclear

Edinburgh could become a world-leader in the fight against climate change according to a new report released today. The study shows that by 'decentralising' its energy generation, the city could slash carbon emissions and increase energy security without resorting to the nuclear option.

Commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council, WWF Scotland and Greenpeace, the report has been hailed as a blueprint for how cities can beat global warming.
