, I was disappointed to find that there was no mention of the resolution regarding the pernicious Energy Charter Treaty, which was debated on the day-three agenda.

This treaty allows fossil fuel companies to sue a country if they feel that their profits might be in danger. It is clear that if Britain remains in this treaty then any steps which we might want to take to mitigate the climate emergency and move towards a just transition could be severely compromised.

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
