Andrew Simms: BPs Statistical Review of World Energy is a standard industry reference document. Its a useful indicator of trends, if occasionally the victim of politics. But the newest edition brings welcome news that the growth of global carbon emissions paused in 2015, partly to do with a shift to renewables, and partly the result of passing economic conditions, both notable in China.

LibdemVoice: Lynne Featherstone has joined forces with Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity to talk about how the EU helps the renewable sector. Just one year of a Tory-only Government we have seen a dangerous unravelling of the green actions of the Coalition.

MedIndia: The analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Columbia University revealed that the susceptibility of the global economic network to workers' heat-stress has doubled in the last decade.
