More than one in four homes in the UK will be offered a complete eco-makeover under ambitious plans expected to be announced this week to slash fuel bills and cut global warming pollution. The campaign is thought to involve giving 7M houses and flats a complete refit to improve insulation, and will be compared to the 10-year programme that converted British homes to gas central heating in the 1960s and 1970s - The Guardian
Scientists are to hold an emergency summit to warn the world's politicians they are being too timid in their response to global warming.

The meeting follows "disturbing" studies that suggest global warming could strike harder and faster than expected - The Guardian
