| Obama's foreign policy so far has had disappointing results. But if he made a shaky start, more blame lies with others
When was the last time you heard anyone enthusing about Barack Obama's foreign policy? When was the last time you did so yourself? Over the last year, his outstretched hand of friendship has been bitten or brushed aside by China, Russia and Iran. His administration has just been snubbed by Israel. It is not at all clear that his surge in Afghanistan is working, while Pakistan still teeters on the brink. European governments' passion for the new US president has proved fickle. His eloquent opening to the Islamic world seems to have run into the sand. The Copenhagen summit on climate change fizzled out in mutual recrimination ... |

Adverts take debate among public backwards

Guardian: Environment |
| Act on CO2's 'nursery rhyme' campaign was bad communication that replicates tactics used by climate sceptics
Climate change adverts draw mild rebuke from advertising watchdog
Read the ASA adjudication on climate change adverts
The government's communications department should have read up on their Aesop's fables before turning to children's nursery rhymes for inspiration. When the wolf really did arrive to worry the village's flock, the people ignored his, this time genuinely, for the first-time heartfelt pleas. The shepherd boy's false alarms had wearied them and even though the danger was now real, they ignored it and the wolf ate both him and the sheep.
This week's guarded and very specific adjudication from the Advertising ... |

Common Dreams: Headlines |
| by Frank McDonald THE LATEST European Red List, commissioned by the EU and released yesterday, shows that habitat loss and climate change are having a serious impact on Europe’s butterflies, beetles and dragonflies. Nine per cent of butterflies, 11 per cent of beetles – which depend on decaying wood and are essential for recycling nutrients in the soil – and 14 per cent of dragonflies are threatened with extinction in Europe. read more |

Keeping the public looped in on what scientists are discovering has never been easy. For one thing, the traditional explainers - journalists - can distort, hype, or oversimplify the latest breakthroughs. But the need to communicate science broadly and clearly has never been more urgent. |

Carbon capture storage will 'generate 100,000 jobs £6.5bn a year'

Guardian: Environment |
| Ed Miliband unveils strategy to encourage growth of unproven technology for next generation of coal-fired power stations
The UK's carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector will be able to sustain 100,000 jobs by 2030 and generate up to £6.5bn a year, the government claimed today.
Unveiling a new strategy to encourage the growth of CCS, the energy and climate change secretary, Ed Miliband, said it represents a "massive industrial growth opportunity".
The government also announced that Yorkshire and Humber had been chosen as the UK's first low-carbon economic area for CCS.
The region has been chosen because it combines the UK's largest cluster of industrial CO2 emitters, academic expertise and proximity to potential storage sites.

Government to continue climate change ads despite criticism from watchdog

| Department stands by climate change campaign as ASA bans press adverts that 'should have been phrased more tentatively'
The government has pledged to continue its campaigns on climate change, despite the advertising watchdog banning two of its press ads.
Last October's £6m ad campaign , by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, has become a lightning rod for the politically charged debate over the issue.
The campaign, including a TV ad, four press ads and two billboard posters, prompted almost 1,000 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority, denouncing it as misleading, scaremongering and distressing.
The ASA has today ruled that two of the press ads, which used nursery rhymes to push the message of climate ... |
