Daily Sun: Like the warming of the planet, any change that comes about from last weeks Paris climate agreement wont happen overnight. But also like global warming, the need for change in energy practices isnt going away. In fact, it will only get more intense the longer the delay. And once temperatures rise on average 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, say climate scientists, the harder it will be to stop that heating from accelerating as ice caps melt and more forests go up in flames.

My colleagues Yanzhong Huang and Ariella Rotenberg penned a helpful piece early in the Paris climate negotiations outlining the dramatic turnaround in Chinas negotiating posture over the past six years, from obstreperous in Copenhagen to virtuous in Paris.

Associated Press: President Barack Obama on Saturday said the new global climate agreement "offers the best chance we have to save the one planet we have" and credited his administration as being a driving force behind the deal. Not since the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 - almost 20 years ago - had a United Nations climate summit ended on such a high note, with prolonged applause, cheering, standing ovations, hugs and even tears. Some delegates wept, others embraced. With 2015 forecast to be the hottest year...

Clean Technica: The fossil fuel industry is facing a $US33 trillion ($A45.8 trillion) hit to its expected revenues over the next 20 years, following the dramatic and unexpected result of the Paris climate change conference last weekend. Energy analysts from the UK-based investment bank Barclays said the Paris deal, which aims to cap global warming well below 2°C, with an aspirational target of 1.5°C, will result in a boost to renewable energy, and will cause a rethink from investors about new investments in fossil...
