Vox: It is fairly well understood by now that releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere imposes an economic cost, in the form of climate change impacts. In most cases, however, those responsible for carbon emissions are not required to pay that cost. Instead, it's borne mainly by the world's poor and low-lying countries, and of course by future generations, as many of the worst impacts of climate change will emerge years after the emissions that drive them. People sometimes...

Gulf Times: An Emarati man stands on a balcony overlooking the Shams 1, Concentrated Solar power (CSP) plant, in Al-Gharibiyah district on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi (file). Wind and solar will be the cheapest forms of producing electricity in most of the world by the 2030s, according to BNEF.
