United Kingdom: The more the experts warn against, the more we build on flood plains

Independent: Flooding may have shot up the political agenda but that hasn't stopped local planning authorities driving through housing developments in areas at severe risk of flooding. From Cornwall to London, to Cardiff, Leeds and Northumberland, local authorities across England and Wales have been ignoring the Environment Agency's (EA) protests and waving through developments on flood-prone land. As Britain endures another weekend of torrential rain and further flooding, figures obtained by The Independent...
Experts unconvinced latest reforms will save the European carbon market

But with Europe's carbon market floundering, the EU is having to rethink how to go about setting a carbon price.

Guardian: Ten million homes in the UK should have their roofs covered with solar panels in the next six years, if the country is to fulfil its renewable energy potential, energy experts said on Wednesday. That number - of more than a third of households generating energy from the sun - would allow the UK to produce about 6% of its annual electricity needs from solar power, with as much as 40% coming from the panels on sunny days in summer, by 2020. These figures are comparable to those of Germany, which...
