No more social distancing almost all Coronavirus Restrictions are now lifted in scotland; though Nicola Sturgeon warns the Pandemic Isnt over. Belarus President Lukashenko calls britain Americas Lapdog after the Foreign Office imposes economic sanctions on belarus for the first time since his disputed re Election And Team gb� s athletes have landed back in the uk, after one of their most successful Olympic Games with a haul of 65 medals. A Code Red for humanity thats how the biggest ever report on Climate Change is being described by the un secretary general. The study, produced by hundreds of the worlds top scientists and signed off by all the worlds governments, says its unequivocal that Human Activities are responsible for global warming. The report describes an overheating world slipping into crisis with more Weather Extremes and rising temperatures in the coming years. The governments climate co Ordinator Alok Sharma says the report is a stark warning about the need to cut emissions. Heres our Energy And Environment analyst roger harrabin. Sirens. Wildfires are blazing through turkey and greece. Theyre rushing through california, too. In previous years, the Panel Wouldnt have been confident to blame Climate Change for the heatwaves behind the fires. Not now. It tells us that it is indisputable that Human Activities are causing Climate Change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. Second, it shows that Climate Change is affecting every region on our planet. The world listened, but didnt hear. The world listened, but it didnt act strongly enough. And as a result, Climate Change is a problem that is here now. Nobodys safe, and its getting worse faster. That increased heat will change weather patterns, bringing more droughts, heatwaves and more rainfall, researchers say. This continuing warming of the planet has very. Severe consequences. Were already seeing increases in the Intensity And Frequencyl of heatwaves Around The World. Were already seeing changes to extreme rainfall. London was shocked to find areas under water a few weeks ago. Rainfall patterns are hard to predict, but experts say Northern Europe will become wetter overall. Londons hampstead ponds. Theyve already had to raise and reinforce the dams to protect Hundreds Of Homes downstream from the sort of floods expected in extreme rains that are forecast to come. The cost has been huge. Were already paying the price of ignoring scientists warnings on Climate Change. Ice in the arctic is melting faster than many scientists predicted. Its leading to Sea Level Rise, which in turn increases coastal flooding. The seas will keep rising for may be thousands of years because the Ocean Deep has absorbed so much heat already. If we do have immediate, rapid and large scale reductions in Greenhouse Gas emissions, we can still limit warming to 1. 5 degrees above the late 1800s, but if we dont enact the policies and pledges that we already have in place, and in fact if we dont make those stronger, then we wont meet that target. Political attitudes are changing. The uk is getting electric cars, for instance. We need clean technology for home heating, too. In the words of one leading scientist, were not doomed, but if we want to avoid catastrophe, we have to drastically cut emissions now. Roger harrabin, Bbc News. The man in charge of the Cop26 Climate Conference has welcomed the Un Report. Alok sharma warned that many countries still werent doing enough to limit the effects of global warming on the planet. I think what we have seen from the Ipcc Today is a report which paints in very stark terms why this is going to be the decisive decade in terms of Climate Action being taken by all countries across the world. The good news is, the door is still ajar and there is still time to act but the door is closing and i think there will come a point where it would be irreversible. And thats why, to avoid catastrophic Climate Change, we need to take action now thats the message im taking to World Leaders across the globe. Of course we want, at cop26, to be able to say with credibility that we have kept the goal of limiting global temperature rises to 1. 5 degrees within reach. How much Arm Twisting have you got to do between now and the summit, to make sure the door remains ajar . We have seen in the past months since we took over the presidency of cop26 that we have gone from 30 of the global economy being covered by a net zero emissions target up to 70 so we have made progress. All the g7 countries have come forward with ambitious plans to cut emissions in the near term and also on a trajectory to net zero by 2050 but of course we need all countries to come forward, especially the g20 nations they together represent 80 of global emissions and 85 of the global economy and thats why we need to see further action from them. Alok sharma, there. The Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer was asked for his reaction to the Un Report lets have a listen to what he said. It is the starkest to mandate that the Climate Crisis is because here and file. Many people think this is about 2050. What we do between now and 2030 is crucially important. It also underlines that its not Climate Deniers that are the problem now, it is climate data layers. Those that accept it is a problem but are not going quickly enough and the pending estate in that category. He has got a lot of Sound Bites but not enough action on Climate Change and going into Cop 26 that need to change rapidly. We need something that matches the scale of the crisis. In the Labour Party has said that for example we meet £30 billion of investment in debtjobs for the future creating 400,000 jobs for the future. It is that sort of ambition that we need. Not Sound Bites that are not backed up by action. The young swedish activist Greta Thunberg says she now hopes to attend the Cop26 Summit in glasgow if all the delegates are vaccinated. She also said the world must take heed of the dire report by the u. N. Climate panel. This report does not tell us what to do and it does not say you have to do this and then do this it does not provide us with such solutions or say that you need to do this, and that is up to us. We are the ones who need to take the decisions and we are the ones who need to be brave and ask the difficult questions to ourselves, like what we value, are we ready to take action to make sure of our future and present Living Conditions . Lets get more on this and speak to professor corinne le quere, royal Society Research Professor of climate Change Science at university of east anglia. She is a member of the Uk Committee on Climate Change and has been involved with two previous ipcc assessment reports. Good afternoon professor. Good afternoon good afternoon professor.

What is new about the report this for decades . Absolutely. What is new about the Report Today this for decades . Absolutely. What is new about the Report Today is is new about the Report Today is that to are now able to demonstrate that to are now able to demonstrate that humans are causing Climate Change, all of the Climate Change that we have observed over the past hundred years. Of quest on top of the variability from year to year and its the first demonstration, the most convincing demonstration. Its actually a team to proof of what has come out today and also this report demonstrates that Human Influence impacts extreme weather events and this has been said very clearly in this Report Today. The oint is, clearly in this Report Today. The point is, human clearly in this Report Today. The point is, Human Activity is causing this which means by definition if we change our activities we can at least stop being getting any worse if we act quickly, is that fair to say . If we act quickly, is that fair to sa . � ,. ,. , if we act quickly, is that fair to sa . � ,. ,. ,. , say . Its fair to say. That right because humans say . Its fair to say.

That right because humans are causing climate to warm and the warming of the future is not inevitable, in fact if we stop Making C02 Greenhouse Gases than the climate will stabilise. Thats one of the key messages of the report and until we stop using Fossil Fuels that plaintiff will continue to warm and thats dependent of the evidence that is published today. find dependent of the evidence that is published today.

And that is | dependent on the career and published today. And that is i dependent on the career and it published today. And that is dependent on the career and it also depending on lots of countries working together and as we know in so many scenarios, that is something thatis so many scenarios, that is something that is very difficult to achieve. That is absolutely correct. What matters is the global emissions of c02 and that means all countries have to stop the emissions and all countries can in fact continue while the other is stop at least some of the other is stop at least some of the biggest countries and therefore international discussion and international discussion and international agreements have to work to bring the country together and a league is not only fair, but ambitious arm that deliveries these machines that are needed here. Can i ask from a personal machines that are needed here. Can i ask from a personal perspective whether you have any confidence, any optimism that something could be changed . Because it is such a big ask. We talk about the conference in november, do you have any confidence that bings rear move as a result of all the countries coming together and discussing it . And discussing it . Absolutely. Thin. S and discussing it . Absolutely. Things have and discussing it . Absolutely. Things have moved and discussing it . Absolutely. Things have moved tremendously in the past few years. Secondly, not enough and not rapidly enough but disappoint, with the fact that we now see with our own eyes what Climate Change looks like through the multiple extremes we have seen Around The World this Summer And Confidence that the policymakers are able to come and strike a strong agreement in november and most importantly then go back Home And Detail those crimes that they need to deliver it.

Earlier, we heard the dramatic warnings about Climate Change from un scientists. It comes as hundreds more people have been forced to leave their homes in parts of greece, where wildfires are continuing to burn out of control. Scorching temperatures across much of Southern Europe this summer have left Woodland Tinder dry and susceptible to fire. Greece itself is experiencing its biggest heatwave in 30 years. Matt graveling reports. Sirens. Thousands of hectares habitats, homes all reduced to ash. With each change in the wind carving a new path of devastation, those who Stay Save whatever they can. 0thers pack up their lives and head to the port.

Those on the ground say more needs to be done. The more people see that we dont have any help until yesterday, and they could save everybody, and it wasnt true. The people dont know where to go. The big problem is that we feel that they let us burn. France, germany and the uk have all offered their help to greece, currently experiencing its hottest weather for 30 years. Scientists warn that failure to tackle our impact on Climate Change means temperatures and the consequences will continue to rise. Matt graveling, Bbc News. 0ur Europe Correspondent Bethany Bell has more from the greek island of evia. As you can see, this hillside is back, chard, the trees have been killed, and things are really looking bleak. Elsewhere, the fires are still raging out of control. They are trying to put them out with planes and dropping great quantities of water on the hillside to try and extinguish the flames but its really been an uphill struggle because the hot temperature is, the extremely hot that greece has been facing have not helped because all of ground is so tinder dry that it makes things extremely difficult. And people here, the locals i think they feel abandoned by the government, they say that there is Climate Change clearly which is a factor in these wildfires and they say also, not enough has been done to help in terms of trying to protect these forests. The government says its doing all it can, its priority is to save Human Rights and they say this has been a really nightmarish summer.

Greensill was at the centre of controversy when it emerged the former Prime Minister had lobbied the government on behalf of the company during the pandemic. Documents obtained by Bbc Panorama Show he received over £3 million from shares and was paid a salary of £1 million a year. A spokesman for Mr Cameron said his remuneration was a private matter. Our Business Correspondent Andy verity reports. Lex greensill was the banker at the heart of David Camerons government. He had his own office at number 10. Lex greensill, where are you . Give us a wave. Two years after David Cameron left Downing Street, he went to work for his friends firm. Greensill, changing finance to change the world. Mr cameron travelled the world promoting Greensill Capital. With David Cameron on board, it sold more than 14 Billion of investments. Having an ex Prime Minister| is a great way to open doors. He played really crucial role in getting greensill in frontl of the right sort of people, which meant that they could get access to more money, more funding, big investors. When Greensill Capital went bust in march, those investors were left facing billions in losses. But the man who set it up isnt short of cash. Lex greensill took at least 40 Million out of his company based these offices in the West End of london, and his Family Trust took millions more. 0ur former Prime Minister also had a bumper payday. Panorama has obtained a letter from greensill to Mr Cameron. It suggests David Cameron pocketed 4. 5 million after cashing in Greensill Shares in 2019. Before tax, including his salary and bonus, it looks like he made around 10 Million for 2. 5 Years Part time work. It was all about making money, and i think the danger is that cameron looks like he just saw the dollar signs. Mr Camerons Spokesman says he acted in good faith at all times and there was no wrongdoing in any of the actions he took. Lex greensill says the investments are covered by insurance that should cover 100 of any shortfall. Andy verity, Bbc News. You can watch more on Panorama Tonight on bbc one at 7 35pm.

Many nightclubs opened at midnight for the first time in nearly 18 months. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, says its the right moment to try to get back to normality.

Yes, it absolutely is. I still about all of this . Yes, it absolutely is. I looked still about all of this . Yes, it absolutely is. I looked up. Absolutely is. I looked up the global numbers. For 45,000 people got this Virus Yesterday and 27,000 died. So the global pandemic is far from over. Vaccination in the uk and in scotland of course has changed our version of the pandemic, and thats why because of people going to Night Clubs last night and why we removed physical distance and from places of Worship Yesterday and why all of these things have been possible. But we are still cautious. We had 850 cases today. Down from over the weekend but some people still lost their lives over the weekend to this disease. To that balance is really important that we move gimmicky momentum but we dont go crazy. Move gimmicky momentum but we dont no cra. ,. , � , move gimmicky momentum but we dont cocra. Go crazy.

Thats whats making go crazy. Right, so its about the i vaccination. Thats whats making it possible. But also you will be reported on the fact that about a third of 18 29 Year Old still have not had their firstjab for whatever reason. So is there do you feel more to be done in terms persuade people to be done in terms persuade people to go and get the vaccine . Absolutely there is and im willing to do whatever i can as part of that. But the 52 year old public Health Guy is not really going to be the one that gets them, i dont think was that we have spent a lot of time with the National Union Of Students and is, we have a thing called young scots who are a very good organisation engaging the people. Your are to do everything we can, drop in clinics everywhere as we have in the other three uk countries, and influencers, Peer Groups trying to get them. Now to be fair it has not been open for young people for that long. So im confident that number will keep rising. There is good Research Today from the ons that says Vaccine Hesitancy has actually fallen in that really young Age Group in the last few weeks as they have got the right information. And its all about getting the right science and information. Once it is explained sensibly in Languages Everybody can understand that people tend to get the vaccine. Qk.

The suggestion from some politicians that that will be the case likely or could well be the case well into the winter, is that, are you comfortable with that thought . Is that about right . We know. You tell me whether you feel thats right and people will indeed still be wearing them, lets say christmas. It people will indeed still be wearing them, lets say christmas. People will indeed still be wearing them, lets say christmas. It gets a little bit trickier them, lets say christmas. It gets a little bit trickier as them, lets say christmas. It gets a little bit trickier as you them, lets say christmas. It gets a little bit trickier as you take them, lets say christmas. It gets a little bit trickier as you take me little bit trickier as you take me further out the predictions become more difficult but i think we have learned a lot in 18 months. One of the things we have learned is that relatively simple mitigations can go quite a long way. So i imagine you could have the on the this morning and i think that will stay. I think you will continue to wash your hands more than you ever have before and i think you will probably stay off work for instance if you have symptoms. All of us should. Thats been the advice for years we have not done it. All struggled our way to work in Face Covering is like that. Another layer of mitigation that does not really cost us that much. Its a little bit in give any of the people dont particularly like it but its just another way of protecting particularly other people who may be more vulnerable than you and may not have been double vaccinated like you. So itsjust layers of protection that i think if its not too much trouble, i think its a common Sense Way to do it. Too much trouble, i think its a commonSense Way to do it. Really interesting commonSense Way to do it. Really interesting. Sorry commonSense Way to do it. Really interesting. Sorry we commonSense Way to do it. Really interesting. Sorry we cannot commonSense Way to do it. Really interesting. Sorry we cannot speak| interesting. Sorry we cannot speak like a very good to have your time tonight. Thank you so much professor. On the date that large numbers of restrictions have now been lifted in scotland. Lets Take A Look at the uks daily covid statistics. A further 25,161 covid infections have been recorded in the latest 24 hours, as well as 37 deaths. Thats people whove died within 28 days of a positive covid test. We talked about vaccinations just then. More than 39. 5 million people in the uk are now fully vaccinated against the virus. Thats 74. 8 of uk adults. Campaigners fighting to save an alpaca from being put down have marched on Downing Street this afternoon to lobby for a reprieve. The government says geronimo must be culled because hes twice tested positive for bovine tb, which is a risk to cattle. Andrew plant reports. Shes been fighting to keep her alpaca alive for four years. Now geronimos story has started making headlines, after the courts ruled he could be put down any time in the next four weeks. How are you feeling about all the Support Youve had . Oh, just immense. Its keeping me going. You know, this is an animal injustice. What are you going to do if people turn up at your gates . Im not going to break the law, but i wont be making it easy. Im not going to be helping them to kill an animal that doesnt need to be killed. Bovine tb is a common issue for uk farmers. Around 40,000 cows are killed after positive tests each year. Helen thinks geronimos tests were flawed and is calling on the government to take another look. I think that this alpaca gives us a chance to put Btb Testing under the microscope in the uk. Weve long been worried about its accuracy, its ability to give false positives and also false negatives as well. The impact goes far beyond alpacas. This has a significant impact for british farming, too. The environment secretary, george eustice, has said geronimos tests were reliable. Downing street also expressed its sympathy, but said everything possible needed to be done to fight bovine tb. No test is absolutely perfect. No test is absolutely 100 sensitive or 100 specific. J so, defra have to work on the big numbers, and they make policy. Based on the big numbers, i and decisions based on those big numbers, whereas, for the individual, of course, youe always hoping that your animal is one of the 1 2 , maybe a little bit more, where theres a false positive result. | a petition to Spare Geronimo has received around 100,000 signatures. A warrant from the courts means officials still have four weeks to put geronimo down. Helen and a team of volunteers say theyll do everything they can to stop that from happening. Andrew plant, Bbc News. It is 17 minutes to six P M. Much more Coming Up on todays stories in the 6pm news. Earlier, you sent in questions on the climate Change Report to my colleague shaun ley. My my calling has more on your questions answered. We certainly need to be considering all and every measure. We need to have everything on the table in order to try to bring our Carbon Emissions down as quickly as we can, and colins absolutely right that most vehicles, most cars are most efficient at around 40 50 mph mark, and it sounds like he might actually be familiar with practices around hyper miling, where you are trying to get as much distance as you can for a certain amount of fuel in your vehicle, and certainly these things like making sure your tyres are pumped up and reducing unnecessary weight are all the things we can do to try to reduce that carbon impact. And on that note, its important to remember that one of the biggest impacts for cars and for vehicles is obviously vehicle size, so making sure that you have the smallest vehicle that you can manage with is very important. So, these are all measures we should absolutely be considering, absolutely. Lovely, thank you very much. Lorraine, this is from Anne Marie in scotland, who asks, im growing a variety of plants to try to attract insects and small animal life. I try to avoid using unnecessary plastic, i dont drive any more, i recycle as much as possible and monitor my energy consumption. Apart from those things, what other suggestions would you make to individuals to try to help on a daily, weekly basis . Cos as ever, a lot of people sitting at home are thinking, i really am worried about this, and im seeing the consequences, but i dont really know if i can do anything as an individual thats going to make any difference. Yeah, thanks for that question, Anne Marie, and its really great that youre making all those changes, and particularly that youve said that youre not driving any more, because thats the single best thing you can do to tackle Climate Change is to live car free. Other things that you can do include cutting down flying. That makes a massive difference to your carbon footprint. Also changing your diet, so eating less red Meat And Dairy in particular, that has a particularly big impact. Eating more local and seasonal food also helps a bit. She mentions shes Saving Energy at home, thats a really big thing you can do as well. So, if she hasnt already, then she can insulate her home and take other Energy Efficiency measures to try and make her home as energy efficient as possible. And even consider getting renewable energy, so either buying renewable energy from your provider, your energy provider, or maybe if you couldnt afford it, getting a Solar Panel or a Heat Pump or something, so directly using renewable energy in your home. So, it sounds like shes already doing a lot, but as individuals, there is a lot we can do. So, those of the sorts of things that we will need to do more of in the future. Lorraine, can ijust pick up one thing you mentioned there, potentially buying renewable energy from your supplier . Is it possible yet to specify or to say, cos i know for example we had this big debate a few years ago about how much impact Wind Power would have, and we discovered subsequently that as some of the advocates had predicted, its been able to make a net contribution to energy supplies. But, in terms of that, if i or anyone watching was saying, i only want to rely on energy that is renewable, can i get to do that . Yeah, you can go on a completely green tariff, and you can request that your energy be renewable from various different providers now. And often it doesnt actually cost more, or it may be very slightly more or occasionally even cheaper. So, it is worth going onto those websites where you can compare the prices of different tariffs and potentially get a renewable tariff thats actually cheaper. Thats really interesting, so a green tariff, Thats Something to look out for. Thanks very much. Judith in orpington asks, rosie, when and how will Climate Change have an immediate impact on the lives of most ordinary people . Well, obviously this big Un Report thats come out today, one of the things that it has said, one of the stark messages within it is that were locked in now to this 1. 5 Degreee Centigrade Rise by 2040, and this means were going to see these increasing extreme events, such as flooding, heatwaves and forest fires, which weve obviously seen a lot of in the news recently, and obviously that has affected Flash Flooding in london, and weve seen over the past decade, various communities in the uk very seriously affected by flooding, and this is going to become more intense, more frequent. And its yet another reason to make some of the changes that Lorraine Wasjust mentioning, around your home and improving your home. Insulation, for example, and remembering that thats going to protect against things like heatwaves as well. I know that the Met Office has predicted that by 2050 were likely to see heatwaves every other year in the uk, so if were talking about how were going to be affected in this country, and obviously there are some quite stark messages around Sea Level Rise as well, and as a coastal nation, this is something that we are obviously particularly going to be aware of. But the other point really to remember how much of an interconnected world we live in, and therefore these impacts increasing frequency in other countries has big repercussions for us very quickly around, for example, global Food Supply and other goods and so forth and services that we rely on. Not to mention seeing humanitarian crises in other countries and the kind of chaotic impact that that can have on the global stage. So, you know, arguably, Climate Change is already having impacts on All Of Us every day. We may not always recognise it as such, but this is only going to become more intensive in the coming decades, which is why the sooner that we take bigger actions and the more we can reduce this, the better. Lorraine, i saw you nodding there when rosie was talking. Is your argument now that actually it already is affecting everybody . We just might not quite have spotted it ourselves individually yet, but we are already being impacted . Thats right. I mean, the report that came out today actually shows that increasingly we can actually attribute Climate Change as the main cause to many of the sorts of events that were starting to see in recent months and in recent years. So, this increase in extreme weather events, in wildfires, floods, etc, that weve started to see, we are seeing the effects of Climate Change already. So, yes, that is something were going to see more of the coming years. Rachel in manchester says, in the light of everything we know, why are we continuing to allow drive through everythings to be built in the uk. There are frequent queues of 20 plus cars for these i think shes particularly thinking of drive through takeaways. We know obesity is a problem, and it also must increase the use of cars. Has there been any debate about this at all in terms of Planning Regulations and so on, about whether these premises should continue to be built . There are existing ones, but the new ones to be built. Yeah, i think this is a really, really important point that rachels flagging here, that actually historically our Planning System has favoured Car Use, and the more that we build roads and build things like drive throughs, the more we encourage and enable and support Car Use and the more people will be discouraged from using alternatives like walking, cycling and Public Transport. So, we have tended to make the wrong decisions in planning that actually encourages people to drive more. That is starting to change, so a couple of weeks ago, the government did launch its decarbonising transport plan, and one of the commitments included was to ensure that decarbonisation was part of local planning decisions, so that hopefully well see less of these sorts of things and there was a commitment to funding more walking, cycling and Public Transport at local level, as well, and giving local authorities the tools to make the decisions to encourage those sorts of changes in our travel behaviour. So, we are seeing things moving in the right direction, but it has been very frustrating that for so long the incentives have been there to encourage us to drive. And as she flags, its notjust about climate, this is about our health as well, actually. Because the more were driving, the more were polluting our air in the cities, so theres an air pollution problem, but also were not getting enough exercise and so on. So, i think theyre sort of win wins in terms of both the environment and our health if we get out of our cars. Rosie, i was going to pick up on that, quite interesting about the link between climate policy, about saving the planet and our prospects on the planet, but also things like our health in a much broader sense. Lorraine talked about shifting away from a red Meat And Dairy diet. That will make people in the agricultural industry who are already nervous about the long term prospects for farming in this country worry. I mean, adaptation is what its all about. What can be done in agriculture to make that still as sustainable a life for people, particularly in places where you both are, in the South West of england, but also to improve our health and prospects as well . Absolutely. I think this is a really important point about how all these questions around reducing our Carbon Emissions are notjust about individuals making changes to their lives, these are affecting jobs and industries. And we need to have Regulation And Support and policy that recognises this, and also people taking the lead within industry and business, senior figures within different business and organisations to be stepping up and thinking about how industries can move to be greener, because this is going to happen. And so, if we are able to start making those changes earlier, and if we are able to start looking at how we can move industries to become lower carbon emitting, it will be less painful, if you see what i mean, than if abrupt changes are made. But absolutely there are lots of co benefits around health and well being, whether thats to do with food and diet, whether thats to do with active Travel And Cycling and walking more, theres lots of positives to be gained, and this is not about making lots of sacrifices. Yes, this is making big changes to our lives, but the more that we can do this in a planned manner and the more that we can make active decisions rather than having things forced upon us, because, as it were, it has become too late, then the more that we can make these decisions in a positive manner. Heres a controversial question Coming Up, rosie, let me put this to you. On the back of the latest report, douglas in lithgow asks should the british government now stop further expansion of airports and stop hs2, which is destroying Green Fields and forests . Thank you for the question. The point around airports first, people may be aware that taking a flight is one of the quickest ways to release a huge amount of carbon into the atmosphere, and certainly on an individual level, this is one of the big ticket items. And i think when it comes to individual projects around airport expansion, what we need to sort of take a step back and think really carefully about is what kind of message are these decisions sending out . So, regardless of the sort of individual pluses and minuses of projects, are we sending out a message that, you know, not only can we carry on with high carbon emitting activity, but we can actually increase them, and how is that going to then help people to be making big decisions in their everyday lives, which is what we need. So, i think theres a really important question for governments and Policy Makers around decisions like that. When it comes to the hs2 project, absolutely, as you say, a controversial project, and i know theres been big questions asked around, for example, the Biodiversity Impacts of the project, but also people have wondered whether it will end up making the savings predicted. For example, you can imagine Unintended Consequences where people travel, its quicker for people to travel to airports and therefore increasing flying. So, these are not simple questions, and actually to the first question that we had from colin around reducing speed of car travel, one of the reasons we travel so much more now is because it has become a lot quicker. And really one of the things we are going to have to do is travel less. So, thinking about should we actually be travelling a bit slower, enjoying the journey more and so forth, and actually its that part of the picture of how we are going to achieve reducing our travel quite significantly. Lorraine, briefly and finally if you can, Tom Garrett is looking for something very simply, he says, is there a good place to go, which gives you lots of advice on what we can do as individuals, petitions to sign, Service Providers to use, things like those green tariffs and so on . Great question, tom. Theres masses of resources online. Ijust did a quick google of top tips for cutting your carbon footprint, and the Bbcs Website has one of the best that ive found in Terms Ofjust listing ten brilliant things you can do, like living car free, cutting down on Meat And Dairy and so on. The Grantham Institute also has nine things you can do, and i like that one in particular because it includes some of the things you might not immediately think of, things like contacting your mp or your local councillor to push for change so that we have these changes in the laws, the regulations that weve just been talking about. Our conversation with work colleagues, family, friends, to try and encourage other people to take action as well so that low carbon lifestyles actually become more normal, so we dont think of it as being a weird thing, actually everybodys doing this. There are loads of resources online, so do as much as you can. Do your Searches Professor Lorraine whitmarsh, dr rosie robison, thank you so much to you both for answering all of those questions. Hello there. We are seeing more heavy, thunderous showers working out today particularly across parts of southern scotland, Northern Ireland and england too. Some showers developing by the winds not as strong Today And Temperature is not quite as high as they normally would be this time of year. We still have these heavy downpours into this evening. They will gradually fade away overnight and we will see some cleaver spells developing with a bit of missed units here in there. Antipater is likely to remain in double figures overnight so typically 12 13 in towns and cities. Tomorrow looks like a drier day for more of the country we were going to have more sunshine around as well. Cannot rule out one or two showers across wales and some eastern part of england but most will be further north in scotland this time. Some heavy ones here but a dry day for central and southern Scotland And Tentacle a bit more in the afternoon for Northern Ireland. A warmer day with light winds looking at the top temperatures of 22 or even 23. Climate change is here, its permanent and we caused it the stark warning from the worlds leading scientists. Within two decades temperatures are on course to rise 1. 5 celsius above preindustrial levels bringing heat and floods. The world listened, but didnt hear. The world listened, but it didnt act strongly enough and as a result of Climate Change its a problem that is here now. Nobody is safe and its getting worse and faster. Greece, one of many countries already feeling the impact with raging wildfires that have driven thousands from their homes. But there is some hope we can stop the most destructive effects of Climate Change if governments act now to make deep cuts to Carbon Emissions. Also tonight
