<p>The resolutions of this Cop will have no bearing on the rate of fossil fuel extraction </p>

Cop28 is the fossil fuel industry’s dream (yes, you read that right)

<p>By the time these new oilfields come online, the UK should be mostly independent from fossil fuels</p>

The world is boiling so why are the Tories turning up the gas?

<p>The frequency and intensity of recent wildfires, heatwaves, biblical rain and floods would be virtually impossible without the global heating caused by our burning of fossil fuels</p>

We are not just breaking heat records, we are smashing them

<p>Carbon dioxide emissions are set to jump upwards in 2021 by the second biggest amount of all time</p>

Despite a pandemic, emissions are still rising – so what will work?

<p>‘The real question is: what will it take for humans to solve these challenges, which are technically within our reach?’</p>

The media must take responsibility for the climate crisis

'If the world went vegan overnight we might be able to feed several billion more people and double biofuel production, even without tackling waste or improving yields'

Would eating less meat really combat climate change?
