Carbon offsets have led to a ‘lost decade’ of fossil fuel addiction
Carbon offset schemes not only haven’t helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions to any degree, they might actually be encouraging companies to keep polluting and worsening the future climate situation. That’s the warning from Steffen Böhm and Siddhartha Dabhi, two researchers from the University of Essex who have compiled a new book, “Upsetting the Offset: The Political Economy of Carbon Markets.” Launched in advance of next month’s scheduled climate talks in Copenhagen, the book features contributions from more than 30 experts in the business.

Election 2010: So what happens if nobody wins?
Were the outcome of the election to be anything like the figures in the weekend Ipsos-Mori poll, the Tories would be well short of the 326 seats they need (currently they have 193). This, then, is the nightmare scenario; and it is exacerbated by the greater diversity of British politics compared with 1974. Then, there were only 37 MPs from other parties apart from the big two. At the last election, there were 92. Anthony King, professor of government at Essex University, says: "We will be in untrodden territory here because we have multi-party Westminster politics in a way we have never had before.

West in 'no-win situation' in terror war Report
The US-led 'war on terror' is likely to increase, rather than decrease terrorism against the West, according to a major new scientific analysis of international terrorism. The report, in the Journal of Political Science, challenges the notorious theory of a clash of civilisation, put forward by Professor Samuel Huntingdon and embraced by foreign policy hawks in the US, as the dominant source of conflict. The authors, Professor Eric Neumayer of the London School of Economics and Thomas Plumper of the University of Essex, argue instead that the prime cause in the rise of terrorism is because of Western interference in Islamic countries.

Centre chief executive Philip Miller has asked DP World to fund tests to be carried out by the University of Essex into how the water quality will be affected once dredging starts, but said it has refused.

We can't hold our kids' hands forever
The debate on when you should or shouldn't leave your child on his or her own at home has been raging on Mumsnet, the parenting site, for a while. And it's cropped up in the Daily Mail recently. This summer, the Children's Legal Centre called for clarification of existing law, which fails to specify at what age children can be left on their own. Charities have predicted that more than a million children are left alone over the summer hols because childcare costs are too high for some families, putting some potentially at risk of prosecution.

Accountants in spotlight as OFT turns its focus on cost of corporate insolvency
The fees charged by Britain's big accounting firms for winding up failed companies will come under scrutiny after the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) yesterday launched a wide-ranging inquiry into corporate insolvencies. Prem Sikka, a professor of accounting at the University of Essex, said that an investigation was overdue as many companies, particularly small ones, were placed into liquidation unnecessarily and the sector was poorly regulated. "Insolvencies can run for decades and no one seems to inquire into the delay in completing them," he said. Read the article here.

Cook for a Cause
Volunteering lifts your spirits―and can improve your health. A survey of more than 12,000 people from the UK's University of Essex found that members of communities with high levels of volunteerism have better physical and mental health than those who don't. "Healthy people are more likely to volunteer, and volunteering, in turn, promotes better health," says Peggy Thoits, Ph.D., a Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. "In our research, we found that it's one of the best things you can do for your overall well-being."

Paying penalty for not having triple MMR jab
Following a controversial report in 1998, which suggested a link between the triple vaccine and autism and bowel disease, the take up rate of the vaccine plummeted and we are now paying the price. Essex has seen the biggest rise in mumps cases in the eastern region in the first six months of this year. “We see a peak in mumps around university sites,” said Debbie Saban, who works on immunisation and screening at NHS North East Essex. Students, including overseas students, at Essex University, should get the jab if they are not sure if they are immunised, she said.

Town's driving force dies at 61

Tributes are being paid to Ipswich Borough Council chief executive James Hehir OBE, who died suddenly this morning. Mr Hehir had just returned with his wife from a visit to Australia where they had attended his son's wedding. The 61-year-old became chief executive in 1989, having moved from Dartford district council in Kent. He was no stranger to the town, having studied at Suffolk College and having previously worked for the borough council. Although his efforts to achieve city status Ipswich and for the borough to become a unitary authority were not successful, Ipswich flourished from the redevelopment of large areas of brown field sites. His greatest achievements have been to oversee the regeneration of Ipswich waterfront, the establishment of Dance East as a centre of excellence in Ipswich, and the opening of University Campus Suffolk.

Kirsten Anderson, from the Children's Legal Centre, a national charity promoting children's rights in the UK, says: 'It's difficult to apply one standard to children of different maturity levels, which is why the law may seem a bit woolly. It's up to the parent to make the decision of whether a child can be alone, taking into account factors such as whether a neighbour is nearby in an emergency and how equipped the child is to cope with an emergency. I wouldn't be surprised if increasing numbers of children are being left alone, especially in the current economic climate.' Read the article here.

More drug advisers set to follow David Nutt and resign
More members of the government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs are set to resign unless they receive reassurances on its future independence from the home secretary, Alan Johnson. The debate is also raging among economists. A new study, to be published in the journal Economic Policy, claims the evidence for prohibition having a major impact on prevalence of cannabis-use is weak. Stephen Pudney, a Professor at the Institute for Social and Economic Research and author of the report, said cannabis-use rose sharply in the 70s and 80s when the drug was illegal. Meanwhile, the decision to reclassify it from grade B to grade C in 2004 did nothing to stop the downward trend in consumption in recent years. Read the article here.

To Move Or Not To Move, It's Up To Her
Married couples are more likely to leave a neighbourhood if the woman dislikes it than if her husband does. Researchers believe this may be because the woman spends more time there.

The study found a 'big difference' between the sexes when it came to influencing decisions about whether to relocate.

The location of the campuses next to the main station on the High Street has advantages, explains Southend-on-Sea Borough Council chief executive Rob Tinlin 'It encourages the use of public transport and brings an extra bustle to the town centre. It has created a strong footfall there from students and staff and that has improved the evening economy,' he notes. Southend has far fewer empty shops than comparable towns, he adds.

Can Happiness and Parenting Coexist?
Luis Angeles, an economist at the University of Glasgow, pulled 15 years of data on 9,000 households from the British Household Panel Survey. According to his analysis, life satisfaction and happiness do indeed go down for those with kids – but that’s for all parents. When Angeles separated out married couples from all the others who have kids (cohabitating couples, separated couples, single parents never married, divorced parents), then a different story emerges: Kids do make married couples a little happier. And the more kids the better (up to three). Read the article here.

Women have the final say when it comes to moving house, say researchers.However, the Essex University study also showed that such decisions were more to do with the perception of a neighbourhood than its reality. Head researcher Dr Mark Taylor said: 'Couples were more likely to move if the woman disliked the neighbourhood. 'The study does not tell us why that is, but we can make some educated guesses. Mine would be that it is about relative amounts of time spent in the home or neighbourhood. On average, it is the woman who spends more time there'.
