Document leak reveals nations lobbying to change key climate report – BBC News

Published

on



A huge leak of documents seen by BBC News shows how countries are trying to change a crucial scientific report on how to tackle climate change.

The leak reveals some countries – including Saudi Arabia, Japan and Australia – are asking the UN to play down the need to move rapidly away from fossil fuels.

It also shows some wealthy nations are questioning paying more to poorer states to move to greener technologies.

This “lobbying” raises questions for the key COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, which starts on 31 October.

    I understand India's position. It won't help them because climate change is progressing but I get it. Americans, Europeans and wealthy countries have abused the environment for several centuries and now that we're in a crisis they caused, they want India to stop their progress to pay for the crimes of wealthy countries who didn't practice what they now preach in order to achieve their current wealth. It's a tough one but we will all be wiped out equally. Oh well 🤷‍♀️😂

    The BBC https://youtu.be/BoAAhNYLG8E
    After everything that's happened over the last couple of years, and in light of everything that turned out to be untrue, this science they talk about seems very questionable, very very questionable.

    They never show the harshest winters in living memory though , just highlight floods in cities etc , pretty obvious when towns expand and cities that the water has no where to go and the streets act as natural channels , plus most of this is multi media reportage these events where 10 fold worse in the past only they were not recorded

    Pretty annoying that most people are sheep or drones. They dont do anything. You can tell everyone around you to switch to a more sustainable lifestyle and they dont want to.

    Its like your trying to save someone from there burning house, when you break in to save them you find them pouring gas on the fire.

    Bankrupt American middle class with solar(Germany) and wind(UK and Texas) that don't work as a reliable source of power but let China and India double coal use?!?!?? Fracking, Natural Gas, decreased US CO2 output more than any nation on earth. If CO2 mattered we would have everyone on Nuclear by now with 1/300th the land use and a 30th the resources.

    As a Brazilian, our government doesn't care about climate change, it's all about fast money. It's common knowledge that meat production causes several of our problems. We have all the means to change our economic system to a more sustainable one, and one that at the same time cares more about the wellbeing of the population. But our government doesn't care.

    Instead of saying eating less meat it they could say to raise less cattle for beef consumption. It always seems like the powers that be deflect to the consumers and in the shadows prop up business. Not saying that all cattle farmers should stop now, but why is it always put on the consumer?

    I believe that all this "man made" climate change is 24k pure shite. There is climate change. It's called weather. There have been cycles for eons. In the 70's they were telling us there is a soon coming ice age. We were told in the 90's there were several reports that our way of life would end in 2010, 2015, 2020…………

    Yes, we absolutely need to be good stewards of our planet. Green energy would be a good thing. But this winging on about we're destroying the planet…… A good sized volcano erupting spews more greenhouse gasses than all mankind in a year!!

    Obviously the climate is ramping up, the warmer it gets the more energy can go into storms, so more rain will fall, so start moving to places that are geologically stable and high enough elevation you and yours will not drown or float away.

    At 2:20 when he says those reports are like the Bible I had a laugh.
    Not because those reports are true like the Bible but because they are followed like a religion that is belief based.
    The BBC still just pumping out propaganda. They say so many words without saying anything about the actual science. Just a full on hit piece against people who don't agree with their stance.

    Capitalism’s biggest weakness shows – countries protecting their economic interests by attempting to manipulate the narrative. Fossil fuel companies lied about the impact of carbon emissions for decades, this is no surprise. They don’t care about the people they govern, only their money.

    I understand why Australia is against the Coal one and the paying poorer countries because with the government doesn’t want to start losing money and the collapse economy as Australia is relying on its coal export to almost keep the economy stable while also trying to slowing leaning off it and the reason why the government might not want to pay the poorer countries is because they don’t want to become another uk and it is the only country that is slowly paying off it debts , well that is my two bits

Ukraine war talks start now, President Trump says after call with President Putin | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has said he had a “lengthy and highly productive” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday in which the leaders agreed to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

Later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had spoken with Trump about a “lasting, reliable peace”.

The calls with the warring sides came as both Trump and his defence secretary said it was unlikely Ukraine would join Nato, which will come as a bitter disappointment to Kyiv.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin supported Trump’s idea that the time had come to work together.

Europe’s leaders tell Trump they must help decide Ukraine’s future | BBC News

Published

European powers including Germany, France and the UK have said they must be part of any negotiations on the fate of Ukraine.

It follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he’s agreed with Russia’s President Putin to begin talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Seven European nations and the European Commission issued a statement saying their shared objective “should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength” and provided with security guarantees to create “a just and lasting peace”. They said Europe and Ukraine must be involved in any negotiations.

President Trump’s announcement raised concerns in Europe and Ukraine that he would agree to Russian annexation of large parts of Ukraine’s territory now occupied by Russian forces. The administration has said it does not believe a return to the pre-war borders is realistic.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky said that no agreement could be reached without his country’s participation in negotiations.
