It’s been 13 years since the congestion charge was introduced in London, and it paved the way to help change how Londoners travel.

Arctic ice melt highlights the need for greater investment in clean energy
It’s not exactly news that the melting of the Arctic ice caps would be bad for the planet. However, scientists have issued fresh warnings that the rapid rate at which Arctic ice is melting could cause irreversible, negative impacts around the world.
They warn that the current melt rate highlights a very real risk of triggering 19 ‘tipping points’. A ‘tipping point’ can be defined in this context as a period of sudden or overwhelming change that has a profound impact on the climate. Often, these are irreversible.
