- Pensions, carbon and (oil) pipe dreams…
- 28/07/10
- Every month a chunk of money whizzes out of my pay packet and away to be invested in some magical fund that means when I'm 65 I can retire to spend my days sipping cocktails and wandering up mountains. How lovely. I don’t have to think about it, it just happens. Most of us are like that. Pensions are dull. Pensions are for later. I do it because I know I should, but that’s about it. Or is it… read more about 'Pensions, carbon and (oil) pipe dreams…'

- The Green Deal: making home refurb cheaper and easier
- 21/07/10
- We’re looking forward to seeing the government’s new ‘Green Deal’ – the plan to retrofit UK homes to make them more energy efficient. Our homes produce 26% of the country’s carbon emissions, so this is a potentially vital step in controlling climate change. The programme is due to start in 2012, but the Green Deal bill is going through parliament later this year. Over the next few months we’ll be looking in detail at each aspect of the Green Deal – checking for gaps and room for improvement. read more about 'The Green Deal: making home refurb cheaper and easier'

- Why tackling global warming is more urgent than ever
- 20/07/10
- Did the UK’s cold weather last winter make you wonder if climate change is really happening? Wonder no more. The period from March to May this year was actually the hottest, globally, since records began in 1880. The extent of sea ice melt in the Arctic is hitting a new high too. It’s all a timely reminder that we need urgent action to slow the carbon emissions that fuel global warming. read more about 'Why tackling global warming is more urgent than ever'
