Seven Just Stop Oil protestors have been found guilty of aggravated trespass after blocking the distribution of oil from the Esso Fuel Terminal in Birmingham for 12 hours last year. Two others were found not guilty.

The annual update from the International Energy Agency’s Global Methane Tracker found that 135m tonnes of methane was released into the atmosphere over the course of last year. This represents  a rise on the 2021 figure and is close to that of 2019, the worst year on record.
