20 people who matter in the UK’s race to net zero

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:53:55 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. has net zero targets. Now it’s just got to figure out how to get there — fast. In the space of four years, the U.K.’s legal net zero target has gone from words on paper to a vast national effort touching the lives of everyone in the country. Despite ambitious goals, enshrined in law, some in industry criticize what they see as the lack of a plan to aggressively reduce emissions.There are only a small number of people who can really shape the path the U.K. takes — and we’ve whittled down that cast of characters to 20 net zero influencers in politics, policy and business. Some are ardent climate campaigners, some are trying to swing the debate the other way, some sit somewhere in between. And some are just trying to get the nuts and bolts right. Here’s POLITICO’s 20 people who matter in U.K. net zero policy: 1. Nick Park, Sunak’s energy guruNo, not the Wallace & Gromit guy. Park is No. 10’s energy policy special adviser, the off...

Poland braces for abortion protests as doctors become center of storm

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:53:55 GMT

WARSAW — A wave of abortion rights protests is set to take place in Poland on Wednesday sparked by the death in May of a pregnant woman — an incident that has thrust doctors into the eye of the storm.Dorota Lalik, a 33-year-old pharmacist, checked into the Pope John Paul II hospital in the southern Polish town of Nowy Targ after her waters broke on May 21. She was five months pregnant.According to Polish media site gazeta.pl, Lalik was told initially that her pregnancy could be sustained and that her health was not in danger. A relative of the late woman said that the staff told Lalik to “lie with her legs up so that the waters might come back,” according to the report. After a three-day ordeal, Lalik’s health began deteriorating rapidly. While she was given an abortion on May 24, she eventually died from septic shock and multiple organ failure the same day.Her death has caused outrage in Poland, with anger directed at the country’s anti-choice laws but also at docto...

Squandering Red Sox drop second consecutive extra-inning game to Rockies

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:53:55 GMT

How to sum up the 2023 Red Sox in one word?Squander.It’s not that they don’t have opportunities, it’s that they’re not seizing them. They pass up free passes, and load the bases just to leave them that way. It’s gotten progressively worse all season. After averaging 6.6 left on base per game in April (29 games) and 6.8 in May (26 G), they’re up to 7.8 over 13 games this month.Their inability to capitalize reached new heights on Tuesday night, as they were forced to do something a Red Sox team hadn’t done since May 1996: Go to extra innings three days in a row.(They’d also played three extra-inning games in a row in June 2000, but not on consecutive days.)And for the second night in a row, the Red Sox lost to the Colorado Rockies by one run in the 10th inning (7-6).Making his third start of the month after working out off the bullpen since mid-April, Kutter Crawford allowed four earned runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out fiv...

Yankees win, but Luis Severino stumbles again in Subway Series opener

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:53:55 GMT

After a lat strain delayed his 2023 debut, Luis Severino looked like a shot in the arm for an injury-riddled Yankees’ rotation after his first two starts of the season.The right-hander tallied two earned runs and 10 strikeouts over 11.1 innings against the Reds and Padres on May 21 and 27, respectfully, a strong showing as he continued to build up at the major league level after two minor league starts. Since then, however, Severino’s performance has been more of a problem than a welcomed addition.That remained the case Tuesday against the Mets, as the 29-year-old permitted five earned runs (six total) over 4.2 innings in a teeter-totter, 7-6 Yankees win that saw Max Scherzer pitch poorly, too. Severino also gave up seven hits and 10 hard-hit balls while walking three, striking out four and balking twice over 104 pitches.Aaron Boone could’ve spared Severino a run, but the manager stuck with the starter with two outs in the fifth following a brief mound visit. The c...
