Stuff: International climate policy is like a long-distance cycle race in which countries collectively aspire to set a fast time, but are not on course to do so. New Zealand, along with the EU and a few other developed countries, has been in the leading bunch, or peloton, though even this is moving slowly. What should be our strategy? We could break away from the peloton and try to stay in front. We could try to play an active role in the peloton. We could try to stay in the peloton but freeload on the...

With one week to go to a crucial global warming summit, 170 countries have submitted pledges for greenhouse gas (GHG) curbs meant to underpin a 195-nation climate rescue pact.

Telegraph: Prince Charles has suggested the cause of conflict in Syria is climate change, in a wide-ranging interview. Drought and competition for increasingly scarce resources caused by manmade activities also played a role in the refugee crisis which has seen thousands of people leave the Middle East and cross Europe in recent months, the Prince of Wales said. The remarks were made in an interview with Sky News recorded before the latest wave of terror attacks in Paris, which will be broadcast on Monday....
