Climate scientist James Hansen has warned UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson that his government s decision not to block plans for a new coal mine in Cumbria, in the North West of England, means the country risks humiliation as the host of COP26. Meanwhile, the UK s Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) has published analysis showing that, although Britain remains dependent on fossil fuels, regions with both nuclear and wind power are already reaching the 2030 decarbonisation targets.

Formerly a research at Nasa, Hansen s testimony before the US Senate helped raise wider awareness of global warming back in 1988. To his 3 February letter to Johnson, Hansen copied in the newly appointed US climate envoy, John Kerry, who told the BBC last week that the UN climate talks in Glasgow, in November, will be the last best chance the world has for tackling the climate crisis.
