Very sad to hear legendary diplomat Pete Betts has left us. Here he is in his natural habitat in 2011 - representing the UK & EU, surrounded by global envoys. What a legacy.

I'm very sorry to hear that John Vidal, the Guardian's pioneering environment editor, has died. He opened up the subject as no one had done before, almost defining what it is to be an environmental journalist. He wrote with vigour, rigour and humour. He was a great guy.

“We got it wrong. We could not have done worse,” I told John when we met in Indonesia in 2013.

John Vidal was more than a journalist. He was an environmental and social justice warrior with a heart of gold. Rest in peace John.

Classic John Vidal story. He used his expenses from a trip to Bangladesh to get a well built in Dhaka. When asked to detail his expenses for trip, he wrote 'Drinks for 5,000'.

We are deeply saddened to hear that former Guardian environment editor John Vidal died this week.

John was an inspiring journalist who broke numerous important environmental stories over the years - a true friend of the earth who will be sorely missed.

John Vidal. Nice guy, cracking writer, friendly hack, champion of small island + poorer countries, all-round troublemaker... loved giving UK ministers a working over at the COPs. What a life.

Many hilarious, happy times with 'the JV' - a true legend and friend & an incredible writer.

From massive leak of Europe's 2020 energy package to the scoop that crashed the Copenhagen summit - John was a genuinely history-making enviro journalist. RIP.
