Letters: Medium-speed rail also needs a boost
|
13.3.2010 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| A new high-speed rail line could play an important role in UK efforts to tackle climate change, but the proposed scheme is forecast to have only a minimal impact in cutting transport emissions – and could even lead to an increase ( Report , 12 March). If the UK is to meet its legally binding targets for cutting climate-changing gases, the transport sector must play its part – and this requires major changes to government policies.
Last month ministers revealed that since 1997 there has been a substantial fall in the cost of motoring and flying, while rail fares have risen by 13% – little wonder then that emissions from transport have risen too. If we want a low-carbon, efficient and accessible transport system we must do more to encourage ... |

Mary Robinson: 'I feel a terrible sense of urgency'
|
13.3.2010 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| After 13 years with the UN, former Irish president Mary Robinson is coming home to her debt-ridden country – not to retire, but to fight for 'climate justice' for all the world's poor
In 1993, three years into her presidency of Ireland, Mary Robinson paid a visit to west Belfast. The trip was controversial before she went – the Irish government didn't want her there, and neither did the British – but it became far more controversial when, in the course of her tour, she happened to shake the hand of a local politician, one Gerry Adams. The next day, "trying to be a good president, I washed the hair and waited for the hairdresser to arrive," Robinson told an RTÉ radio show recently. "And she was a good northern Protestant, and she didn't turn ... |

US throws weight behind polar bear

The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Melting sea ice in the Arctic will kill thousands of bears in coming years, the US says, and continued commercial trade must not be allowed to make the situation worse
It is a familiar story in the climate change debate. The US government is at odds with the rest of the world and, despite criticism, wants other countries to change their minds and fall in line behind Uncle Sam.
This time, the tale comes with an unexpected twist. This weekend, the US will warn that the threat from climate change to the future survival of the polar bear is so great that the world must grant the animal the highest possible protection.
At the annual meeting of the international body that regulates trade in animals, the US will push for a total ban on ... |
