Climate Crisis: Scientists warn “worst is yet to come” if we don’t act now

June 24, 2021By Andy RowellBlog Post

A draft report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states: “The worst is yet to come, affecting our children’s and grandchildren’s lives much more than our own.” It reiterates that we have to act now to avoid runaway climate change.

Denmark announces an end to offshore drilling — but will the UK follow?

December 8, 2020By Andy RowellBlog Post

Before Saturday, it is simple. Boris should be brave. He should cancel overseas fossil fuel finance. But he should do more. To encourage others to do the above, he should also follow Denmark’s lead and cancel the next round of oil and gas licensing, and end all future exploration in the UK North Sea.

Despite growing climate emergency, Exxon’s message to world remains: “Drop Dead”

Scarce Progress and Serious Disagreements: Another UN Climate Summit Draws to a Close

December 13, 2019By Andy RowellBlog Post

As yet another UN climate summit draws to a close without showing any real sense of urgency commensurate to our climate emergency, campaigners have criticised the UN process for being in a “parallel universe” and being riddled with conflicts.

Outrage as UN Climate Talks Kick Out Civil Society, Not the Polluters

December 11, 2019By Andy RowellBlog Post

“Instead of kicking out these polluters, the UNFCCC 25th Conferences of the Parties (COP25) kicked out the people. Instead of listening to our voices, they attempted to silence us.”

Despite warmest decade on record, we still act like “addicts blowing our carbon budget”

December 4, 2019By Andy RowellBlog Post

We’re blowing through our carbon budget the way an addict blows through cash. At a time when carbon dioxide pollution is higher than it’s ever been.

A land that burns, a land that cannot breathe

October 25, 2019By Andy RowellBlog Post, Featured 3 Comments
