He wrote a government-commissioned review published a year ago setting out how Britain could reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 while creating thousands of new green jobs.He said that “as the former energy minister who signed the U.K.’s net zero commitment by 2050 into law, I cannot vote for a bill that clearly promotes the production of new oil and gas.”“To fail to act, rather than merely speak out, is to tolerate a status quo that cannot be sustained,” he added in a statement.He said he would step down when Parliament returns next week from it...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:24 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The flu season in the U.S. is getting worse but it’s too soon to tell how much holiday gatherings contributed to a likely spike in illnesses.New government data posted Friday for last week — the holiday week between Christmas and New Year’s — show 38 states with high or very high levels for respiratory illnesses with fever, cough and other symptoms. That’s up from 31 states the week before.The measure likely includes people with COVID-19, RSV and other winter viruses, and not just flu.

Some people may be less likely to go see a doctor, deciding to just suffer at home. O...
