United Kingdom: Climate change not main cause of floods, scientists suggest
2014-01-22 09:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Climate change is not the main cause of floods, scientists have suggested. The debate on whether recent floods were caused by global warming is a distraction from "the things we already know for certain', according to research. Any links between climate change and flooding are "highly complex' and experts have struggled to make a case for the theory, a study has said, whereas human activity such as building on floodplains is known to make flooding worse. The Prime Minister told MPs in the...

Guardian: A protester at an anti-fracking demonstration in Greater Manchester claims he was left "battered and bruised" after being assaulted by police officers. Sean O'Donnell, who is known as Kris, shot a video of himself being apparently shoved to the ground by police at the Barton Moss protest camp in Irlam, Salford. The 44-year-old, an IT consultant from Newcastle who has been living at the camp on and off since before Christmas, was taken to hospital after being arrested on Monday on suspicion...

United Kingdom: Round one went to the anti-frackers. But now round two begins

Telegraph: Countryside campaigners are to try to bridge the ever-growing gap between fracking firms and protestors by providing neutral forums to debate the issues involved in exploiting shale gas and oil. The Council for the Protection of Rural England, which has been careful not to come out against the industry, says it will take the initiative so long as it can find a prominent partner, like the Royal Society, and so long as it is not financed, even partially, by the oil and gas industry. The move comes...

United Kingdom: Nuclear waste site consultation was rigged to favour Sellafield, say experts
2014-01-18 22:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The government stands accused of drafting the consultation process to select the site of a multibillion-pound nuclear waste storage facility to favour a location that some geologists claim is unsuitable for burying radioactive material. Two leading geologists told the Observer that they believed the government was keen to push through Sellafield as the site of the facility, a subterranean tunnel network that would be the size of Carlisle, despite an official inquiry demonstrating that its geology...

United Kingdom: Government admits flood spending drop
2014-01-17 07:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The government has been forced to backtrack on its claims about flood defence spending, admitting the figure has gone down rather than up. The environment minister Dan Rogerson conceded on Thursday night that spending had fallen to 2.34bn in the current four years compared with 2.37bn previously. The environment secretary, Owen Paterson, had previously claimed the Tory-led coalition was spending "more on flood defences than any previous government". The Environment Department had also said...
