Daily Mail: When Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio hosts a reception for a string of A-list stars, supermodels and wealthy philanthropists later this month, he will make an impassioned plea for more action to be taken on global warming.

Last night, green campaigners were quick to criticise 41-year-old...

Washington Post: IN THE landmark $15 billion settlement Volkswagen struck with the federal government and the state of California on Tuesday, the massive automaker admitted no liability. But it is clear enough that the company brazenly defied the law, unfairly undercut its competitors, cynically betrayed its consumers and damaged the countrys air quality.

Japan: Fukushima and the oceans: What do we know, five years on?

ScienceDaily: A major international review of the state of the oceans 5 years after the Fukushima disaster shows that radiation levels are decreasing rapidly except in the harbour area close to the nuclear plant itself where ongoing releases remain a concern. At the same time, the review's lead author expresses concern at the lack of ongoing support to continue the radiation assessment, which he says is vital to understand how the risks are changing. These are the conclusions of a major 5 year review, with...
