We spoke to the pollster J. Ann Selzer, who tracks national political opinion.

It’s just two words and they appear on just one page of an eleven thousand word document, but the inclusion of “fossil fuels” is historic. The final agreement of COP28 might be a compromise – but it has sent a clear signal that we need to stop burning the fuels which are so harmful to the planet. 

The climate deal which could determine the future of the planet is furiously being worked on at the UN’s COP28 summit. 

We will not go silent to our watery graves – that’s the warning from one of the small island nations most at risk from climate change – after a pledge to “phase out” fossil fuels was removed from the COP28 final agreement.

The Government has promised that in future no-one will suffer the same injustices as the survivors and bereaved relatives of the Hillsborough Disaster.

At least 117 countries have pledged to triple the world’s renewable energy capacity by 2030. 

We spoke to former US Vice President and climate change activist Al Gore.

World leaders can’t save the planet with a fire hose of fossil fuels – that was the warning from the UN chief Antonio Gutteres to the COP28 summit in Dubai, after scientists said that 2023 was set to be the warmest year in history. 

There was a standing ovation from delegates on the opening day of the COP28 climate summit in the UAE. After years of campaigning – a deal to establish a new climate disaster fund has finally been approved. More than 330 million pounds has already been pledged to help nations struggling with the effects of global warming. 

An undercover sting operation has highlighted a Saudi Arabian government plan to artificially raise global oil demand, Channel 4 News can reveal in an investigation released just days before climate crisis talks begin in the UAE.

Around two-thirds of the confirmed illegal killings of birds of prey last year are linked to shooting estates. That’s according to the RSPB’s latest report on bird crime, which we can exclusively reveal. Buzzards, red kites, goshawks, hen harriers, peregrine falcons and white-tailed eagles have all fallen victim to shooting, trapping and poisoning – adding…

The move towards Green Steel has taken another step forward with the announcement that the blast furnaces at British Steel’s plant in Scunthorpe will be replaced by two electric arc furnaces. 

Gusts of wind reaching more than a hundred miles an hour along with heavy rain have caused major damage across parts of southern England and the Channel Islands.

Along with the very real and violent war on the ground – there is also a fierce information war. Like Tuesday’s explosion at the Gaza hospital which Hamas says killed hundreds of people. Israel says it was a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, which they deny. Hamas says it was an Israeli airstrike, which they deny. 

So what do we actually know about the hospital blast – and the contradicting claims by Israel and Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK? It’s been impossible to carry out any independent verification – but we’ve been examining the evidence presented by both sides so far.
