Climate change: themes range from new technological opportunities and new approaches... to calculating emissions cuts and averting climate chaos

Last month, the Financial Times ran a series on climate change:
Futures Forum: Climate change: themes range from corporate social responsibility and self-regulation... to governmental intervention and technological solutions

Futures Forum: Energy revolution: “There is growing evidence that some fundamental changes are coming that will over time put a question mark over investments in old energy systems.”
Futures Forum: From the 'fossil-fuel age' to an international carbon tax
Futures Forum: Climate change sceptics 'are losing their grip'
Futures Forum: “Energiewende” – energy transformation... reducing dependence on fossil fuels and changing the role of the large traditional utilities.
