Technology alone cannot remove enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to keep global temperatures within safe limits. While engineered solutions are advancing, experts say nature must play a central role in near-term carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts. “We must rapidly reduce the production of new greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. At the same time, we must also remove and store excess carbon already polluting the atmosphere,” said Charlotte Streck of the University of Potsdam.

Around 70 abandoned bikes at Hull Paragon station have been saved from landfill and given a new lease of life, thanks to a collaboration between TransPennine Express (TPE) and Hull-based charity R-evolution. The train operator collected the unused bicycles over the past six months from the station and its cycle hub. Instead of disposing of them as waste, they handed them to R-evolution, a social enterprise that refurbishes old bikes to benefit the local community.

New polling reveals deep confusion among MPs over the UK’s net zero goal, with the majority supporting the 2050 target but many failing to grasp its purpose. The YouGov poll, commissioned by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) and Climate Barometer, shows 84% of MPs back the legal target to reach net zero emissions by 2050. But only two-thirds understand that cutting emissions to net zero is essential to stop climate change – a basic conclusion of global scientific bodies.
