ITV News Science Editor Tom Clarke reports on why the US views the Glasgow conference as so important to climate action
If you ve been watching the news recently, featuring on an almost daily basis, extreme weather events from flooding in Germany to wildfires in Siberia, it s hard to overestimate the significance of today s speech by U.S. Special Presidential Climate Envoy for Climate John Kerry. I m very sorry to say the suffering of Covid will be magnified many times over in a world that does not grapple with and ultimately halt the climate crisis, he told an audience sweltering in the heat of the hottest day of the year so far in the UK.
On Tuesday morning ITV News went down to the River Chess in Buckinghamshire where Thames Water was letting untreated effluent (liquid waste) flow into the chalk stream.
Water companies have licenses to put sewage into rivers when treatment works reach capacity the only other option is to let sewage back up into homes. But the licenses only allow them to do this in emergencies, for example when treatment works are overwhelmed by floods.
It did rain heavily on Monday night, hence the discharge, Thames Water told us. But so far this year, the company has run sewage into the river on 96 separate occasions according to local campaigners.
