The energy industry is faced with choices, and in this report, we outline two scenarios: 1) a business as usual or 'Inaction' on climate change scenario, and 2) a different energy mix that offers a lower carbon alternative. We find that out to 2040 the levels of spend are remarkably similar; indeed the 'Action' scenario actually results in an undiscounted saving of $1.8 trillion over the period, as while we spend more on renewables and energy efficiency in the early years, the savings in fuel costs in later years offset earlier investment. If the scientists are correct, the potential liabilities of not acting are equally vast. The cumulative 'lost' GDP from the impacts of climate change could be significant, with a central case of 0.7%-2.5% of GDP to 2060, equating to $44 trillion on an undiscounted basis.

Russian weather scientists in a remote Arctic area are surrounded by five hungry polar bears and essentially trapped inside their research station, according to the World Wildlife Fund. [...] "Yesterday we came out and a bear was near the house," one meteorologist said, according to Siberian Times. "Three times our engineer fired a small flare pistol and the bear was not even scared. We managed to scare it off with a flare, but not far."

Administration officials said that there are no warplanes included in the agreement, and stressed that at the moment the only country in the Middle East that will get F-35 fighter jets, considered the jewel of America’s future arsenal, is Israel. Administration officials said the sale to the Saudis primarily comprised missiles that would fit the F-15 fighter jets Saudi Arabia previously bought from the United States. [...] “Transferring arms to resupply Saudi military operations in Yemen emboldens the U.S.-supported coalition to prolong its military offensive, rather than engender concern for the growing humanitarian crisis,” Paul O’Brien, vice president for policy and campaigns at Oxfam America, said in an email. “The Saudi-led coalition, with U.S. backing, has pursued a course that has devastated Yemen, preventing humanitarian assistance and other critical support from reaching those who need it most.”
