Read the original article on bbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports Andy Burnham's COP31 speech, his new climate security envoy and his pledge to keep the 2050 net zero target. It sets this against criticism from Oxfam and other critics of the Jackdaw gas field approval and the cut in heat pump support, and it notes media speculation about electric car targets, which the government says it has not decided. It states the human cause of warming as fact and links the record summer heat to climate change through the Met Office.
“in fact it was the hottest on record, made 130 times more likely because of climate change, according to the Met Office”
The BBC gives the extreme heat its climate link, attributes the specific attribution figure to the Met Office and treats the record as fact.
“The main driver of rising global temperatures has been the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, largely caused by burning fossil fuels.”
The BBC states the human cause of warming in its own voice with no hedge, as the documented record supports.
“The Prime Minister simply cannot call for clean power across the world while saying yes to more fossil fuels in the UK”
The BBC sets the government's own claims against named criticism from Oxfam, and it attributes the government's energy security rationale for Jackdaw rather than adopting it.
