John Sutter : The Earth is continuing to heat dramatically, and it's on target to get worse.

Renewable energy, mostly from the sun and wind, seems to be reaching some sort of takeoff point, he says.

The third biggest thing in the months ahead : the American presidential election, which looks as if it is going down to the wire, may have the power to determine how high the temperature goes.

David Rothkopf : Can Trump reverse the tide towards renewable energy? He says it's too strong based on the ever-falling cost of sun, wind and batteries.

He says a victory for Donald Trump in November ’s presidential election could lead to an additional 4 billion metric tons of US emissions by 2030 compared with Joe Bidens plans’ He says Trump would “rescind all climate policies from its foreign aid programs’ and cease its war on fossil fuels in the developing world’.
