It draws together newswire pieces about the previous climate rush article and the info about the coming action on Monday. Yes it is blatantly an announcement presented as a feature but there have been plenty of those in the past. This is major news and the action on monday will generate plenty of newswire content. Today the evening standard front page was the runway three decision announcement which will be confirm early next week, possibly even monday. On top of that there was the plane stupid sentencing a couple of days ago which would fit really well into this feature.

Jeff raised a concern about the feature and I've acted on it.

As far as I'm concerned it's still got very little substance to it as a 
report, it's simply just an annoucement. I really don't think this is 
the kind of feature we should be blindly promoting on our middle column.
