Photographer Nick Cobbing's spectacular photos from the Arctic Sunrise's Arctic expedition are featured on the Telegraph website here. Take a look, for ice sheets, kayaking along meltwater rivers, and polar bears in their natural habitat.

The G8 leaders gather for the traditional 'family photo'. But on climate, there's little movement from the major economies.
It's not good news from
Italy, as the G8 manage to
sneak under the already low bar for action on climate set by the G20 meeting in
London in April.
A lack of near-term targets, fiddling the figures to buy time, a lack of detail
on committing funds... It’s no wonder the less wealthy
members of the Major Economies Forum – whose meeting ended today – walked away
unhappy.

From the top of an Italian smokestack, Ben explains why we're telling G8 leaders to act now on the climate. We need strong leadership - what comes out of the G8 paves the wya for the upcoming Copenhange UN climate summit in December, which is the best moment of opportunity for averting dangerous climate change.

High above the Venice archipelago, activists demand strong climate action from the G8.
As the leaders of the
world's most powerful nations arrived at the G8 Summit today, over 100
Greenpeace activists from around the world have occupied four coal-fired power
stations across Italy, demanding the G8 Heads of State take leadership on
climate change.
Listen to an interview with Greenpeace campaigner Ben Stewart, perched on a chimney above Venice:

They came, they stood, they formed a giant human chain around Kingsnorth. The Miliband was formed with bodies and yellow sashes, and made up of over a thousand people!

Today we're down at Kingsnorth for the Mili-band - building a human chain around Kingsnorth to say no to dirty coal. It's a fun summer fete for the climate, and we're updating live from the scene...

In this video interview, Bill discusses how the US politics of climate have changed with the election of Obama, how the UK government needs to respond, and whether he's optimistic about the future.
By the end of today, we will have seen two significant developments in the political landscape of climate change. First, the UK has indicated for the first time that it believes serious money will be needed from developing countries at Copenhagen.
A good moment to get an insight into the interaction between science and politics over the pond. For the first of the Greenpeace meets series, occasional interviews in which we'll hook up with (hopefully) interesting authors, activists, scientists and policy wonks to download their wisdom, I went and had a coffee with veteran US environmental guru Bill McKibben.

It'll look like this, but muddier, and with more men wearing dresses
It's difficult to know how to get people at Glastonbury to join in
with the good work of saving the planet, but this year we reckon
we've come up with a way to make it all fairly straightforward for
those who are a bit 'festivaled out' to join in.
