EcoWatch: In the wake of the COP 21 UN climate summit in Paris, a number of important questions still remain unanswered. Take for example the commitment reached by the 197 participating nations to limit warming below the dangerous level of 2C relative to pre-industrial time (neglecting for the time being the aspirational goal of a substantially lower 1.5C limit acknowledged in recognition of the danger posed to low-lying island nations).

Idealism may have withered over a plot to stop the third runway at Heathrow but it lives on in mid-Wales, thanks to prog-rock legends Manfred Manns Earth Band. Some of the 100,000 people, including Emma Thompson and Alistair McGowan, who signed up to become beneficial co-owners of an orchard in the middle of Heathrows proposed third runway have been left fuming by the revelation that Greenpeace quietly sold the lease back to the original...
