The Telegraph: Kerry’s COP28 coal pledge means nothing. It’s the war on gas that’s scary
US Climate Envoy John Kerry, without authority to commit the US to international agreements, has pledged to shut down unabated coal-fired power plants. This deal, mostly symbolic as the US doesn't build new plants, focuses on reducing emissions from coal plants without scrubber technology. Market-driven factors have already led to the closure of many coal plants in the US, but Kerry aims to eliminate natural gas power plants too, causing reliability issues in the power grid. This commitment will have little impact on the coal sector, but poses a threat to electric reliability in the US. Congressional Republicans must intervene.

The Telegraph: Britons may be forced to take selfie before viewing pornography
Adult websites may require users to take a face-scanning selfie to prove they are over 18, according to new online safety laws.

Ofcom plans to enforce these rules in 2025 and believes that four in five adults support age assurance on adult websites.
