How reliable do you think UK newspaper reports are about climate change?

Uk newspapers such as The Sun are more likely to have a different view on global warming than a newspaper such as the The Independant.
The Sun is produced for a different audience, people who are more likely to be interested in sport for example. Therefore facts are less likely to be present and it is more likely to be emotive. Over exaggerating the situation. This would make the report extremely unreliable.
However papers such as The Observer are more likely to be reliable as they are aimed at an audience that will be interested in issues such as global warming and will have more of the facts.
However it is suggested that 'bad news sells newspapers'which is evident just from some headlines. E.G 'On our present course, the bold new carbon target is worthless'( The Observer)
This would reduce the reliability of a report as even though it would give some facts and evidence it would not give both sides of the story.

To what extent do UK newspaper reports link climate change to ‘sustainable development’?

The UKs newspapers often report about climate change and sustainable development. Newspapers such as The Sun and The Observer both produce these articles.
However it should probably be considered the validity of the article, as The Sun writes articles on the royal families holidays and how they are reducing their carbon footprint (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/special_events/green_week/article775968.ece)
in 10 short paragraphs with no figures .
Whereas The Observer writes about the IPPC including facts and figures.

Therefore it can be concluded that newspapers do like climate change with sustainable development, however it is the quality of the article that should be questioned

Private Cars and Sustainability

Private cars, most households own at least one. With the new craze of 17 -19 year olds being to learn to drive and own your new car the government gives out new data on the increasing co2 levels which have risen by 4% since 1990. These levels are not sustainable, causing an increase in global warming and climate change.
However is there a way to make the use of private cars more sustainable?
Recent changes have started to take place with the introduction of the electric car, once not heard of in Britian and a facination and joke in Europe has hit the market with companies such as Mazda leading the market.
Mazdas new car only takes 15 minutes to charge and can travel 400 kilometers travelling at speeds of 150 km/hr.
But is this sustainable?
The use of hydrogen and not fuel suggests it is, however the problem lies in the efficiency of the car. There are no places yet to charge the car on the road and it does not have the capability to travel as far as a fuel powered car.
But maybe if the government keeps pushing the idea and the big car companies such as Mazda keep advertising and improving the idea might catch on and in the future we may have more sustainable cars, creating a more sustainable future.
