Nature, along with the usually fractious family of nations, conspired to make it a landmark year: almost certainly the hottest on record for the planet as a whole, and a rare moment of unity when 195 states pledged to curb the carbon pollution that drives global warming. Whether the December 12 Paris Agreement is the key to our salvation or too-little-too-late...

Khaleej Times: Doubling the investments in renewable energy by 2030 would increase the global GDP by 1.1 per cent at various degrees for individual nations, except for oil and gas exporting countries, which will experience a drop in GDP. Yet, doubling investments in renewables, which would mean 36 per cent global share of renewable energy into total energy mix, is the only way to keep climate change under control.
