Top lawyers vow that they will not help facilitate new fossil fuel projects

Bar Council warns move undermines legal profession and lawyers' responsibility to take on all legal cases

24 hours after the UN tells humanity that the IPCC report is a "survival guide for humanity", with an "urgency of taking more ambitious action", the story has disappeared from the BBC front page.

@Philsturgeon I didn't mean it to be that deep, Phil. Rather, that an Acer is a type of tree. Apologies, didn't mean any offence to you or them!
@Philsturgeon support for tree-planting from Acer is nicely ironic.

Another 600 trees in the ground in Northamptonshire with amazing volunteers from Acer and Google.

This framing is not helpful, BBC.

What about "in move likely to contribute directly to substantial atmospheric heating".

Or "in move which will push the world further away from its climate goals"
