"More than 400 experts on climate change have published an open letter to the leaders of the ’s political parties, [before] the General Election on 4 July."

"Climate change has largely been ignored by Party Leaders so far in this election campaign, demonstrating that they have failed to grasp just how much it is affecting lives and livelihoods in the UK."

"British people are worried and polling consistently shows strong support for politicians to act."

"All parties should commit to an "ambitious" programme of climate policies, say a group of the UK's leading climate scientists.

In an open letter, published on Monday, the academics said if the parties do not make this pledge they are not deserving of support.

It comes as the political parties are expected to announce their manifestos for the July election."

"In this election, watch out for climate obstructionism.

The media will increase its scrutiny of manifesto pledges and publish a litany of analyses. It is highly likely that Labour’s climate policy will be painted as a threat to national security, an insurmountable cost to the public purse, and reflecting the demands of both Vladimir Putin and Just Stop Oil simultaneously."

Former boss calls for end to new drilling licences

"Lord Browne said that the UK was likely to need oil and gas “for many years to come” and should allow existing North Sea fossil fuel projects to continue.

“But beyond this, we should call a halt,” wrote the crossbench peer. "
