Paul Kingsnorth explains how he copes with the thought of imminent apocalypse.

A reinvigoration of the idea of the public realm is vital to mitigating climate change, says Andrew Dobson.

A new government ‘kitemark’ suggests that most carbon offset schemes are flawed, but fails to address the more fundamental problem of paying others to clean up after us, argues Kevin Smith

A group of protesters occupied and halted work at the Ffos-y-Fran opencast coal mine in Wales yesterday morning, barricading the main entrance to the site, climbing on the roof of the coal washery and chaining themselves to machinery.

Schnews is not too hopeful that the ‘disastrous’ opening of Terminal 5 will do anything to halt massive growth in air travel. The chaos at Terminal 5 is a mere blip for the monstrous British Airways.

Two new reports highlight the unavoidable emergency of climate change, writes Paul Rogers, and the key responsibility of governments in taking radical measures to address it.

The mainstream media is encouraging a pervasive pessimism even on the most conservative targets for greenhouse gas emissions – but there is another way, writes Tim Holmes.

If it fails to stand up to BAA on Heathrow, Labour will be cast as the enemy in the environmental battle of the decade. Mark Lynas reports.
