| It is good to see that an appalling future awaiting the planet is being recognised (Huge risk if global warming exceeds 1.5C, warns landmark UN report, 8 October) and brought to light by the IPCC. Is there now any hope that the Convention on Biological Diversity can be jolted into comparable action that promotes the possibly more important and urgent demise facing biodiversity and ecosystems on our planet?Dr Geoff MeadenCanterbury, Kent | It is good to see that an appalling future awaiting the planet is being recognised (Huge risk if global warming exceeds 1.5C, warns landmark UN report, 8 October) and brought to light by the IPCC.

| • At a time when we are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of global warming, (Poor planning ‘putting sinking cities at greater risk from sea-level-rises’, 5 October), this government gives permission for companies to go ahead with fracking for shale oil, a fossil fuel.
