HSBC under fire from all sides at AGM
|
24.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Bank sees 11% of shareholders vote down the pay report as it is attacked by environmental campaigners, shareholders, former staff – and Bill Oddie
Angry shareholders of HSBC on Friday bombarded the group's board with barrage of accusations ranging from financing Mexican drug cartels to supporting tax havens, slashing jobs and mis-selling products.
At the banking firm's first annual general meeting since paying a record $1.9bn (£1.2bn) in penalties to settle US money laundering claims, they also rounded on the directors with charges of hunting down whistleblowers and grabbing bloated bonuses.
Environmentalist and broadcaster Bill Oddie joined the tirade of attacks in London's Barbican Centre, accusing the bank of financing the desecration of forests in Sarawak and Borneo. Outside the AGM, campaigners from World Development Network confronted bankers with champagne flutes filled with 'carbon bubbles' to protest against the bankrolling of climate change, while street theatre performers ... |

Most UK species in decline, wildlife stocktake shows
|
22.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| The unprecedented analysis shows that many animals, birds, insects, fish and plants are in trouble
An unprecedented stocktake of UK wildlife has revealed that most species are struggling and that one in three have halved in number in the past half century. The unique report, based on scientific analysis of tens of millions of observations from volunteers, shows that from woodland to farmland and from freshwater streams to the sea, many animals, birds, insects, fish and plants are in trouble.
The causes include the intensification of farming, with the consequent loss of meadows, hedgerows and ponds and increased pesticide use, as well as building development, overfishing and climate change. Three in every five of the 3,148 species analysed for the report have declined in the last 50 years and one in 10 are at risk of extinction.
But the report also reveals a few bright spots, such as the reduced water pollution that has allowed otters to return to every county in the UK, and the numerous ... |

Obama's Arctic strategy sets off a climate time bomb | Nafeez Ahmed
|
17.5.2013 |
Guardian: Science |
| US National Strategy for the Arctic Region prioritises corporate 'economic opportunities' at the expense of everyone else
One week ago, the Obama administration launched its National Strategy for the Arctic Region , outlining the government's strategic priorities over the next 10 years. The release of the strategy came about a week after the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President at the White House Complex hosted a briefing with international Arctic scientists .
Despite giving lip service to the values of environmental conservation, the new document focuses on how the US can manage the exploitation of the region's vast untapped oil, gas and mineral resources in cooperation with other Arctic powers.
US hinges success of Arctic strategy on diminishing sea ice
At the heart of the White House's new Arctic strategy is an elementary but devastating contradiction between what President Obama, in the document's preamble, describes as seeking "to ... |
