Friends of the Earth release the results of a survey into public attitudes on biofuels.

We jump on a plane as a matter of routine. Yet the climate-changing emissions from aviation are now a major concern. Chris Brazier wrestles with one of the trickiest issues of our time.

The ongoing love affair with oil has got to be broken, says Michael Meacher

The Chancellor can no longer afford to ignore the contribution of international aviation and shipping to our carbon footprint, says Mark Lynas.

Cleaner technology is possible, but Labour plans to introduce it so slowly that any benefits will be lost in higher coal output. George Monbiot reports.

Merrick Godhaven picks apart the myths surrounding hydrogen as an alternative energy source.

Carbon Capture and Storage is a lovely, simple idea; keep burning the fossil fuels but pump the carbon dioxide away underground. But around the world, because these schemes must be as profitable as possible, they are being used in ways that actually increase carbon emissions.

It is meaningless to compare our lifestyles today with those of a zero carbon future – as the most recent science has demonstrated, life as it is now will change – like it or not. More useful, writes Paul Allen, is the comparison between a future where we have been proactive and acted ahead of events, with a future where we have let events overtake us.

While attention is focused on our use of fossil fuels, there are as yet no plans to limit their supply – yet there is no other reason for the continuing extraction of coal, oil and gas but to be burnt. George Monbiot talks to Sonali Kolhatkar on Bali, climate change, and environmental greenwash.

To avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero, according to research from the University of Victoria in Canada.

Britain is becoming increasingly dependent on the rest of the world – China in particular – to fuel our high-consuming lifestyles. And because the greenhouse gas pollution that results is blamed on China, not the consumers in the UK, we are turning that country into our ‘environmental laundry’ – with devastating consequences for the planet.
