If there is good news, it is that policymakers and the public alike are finally paying attention now that climate change is a pocketbook issue, he writes, noting green initiatives in China, the EU, and US. "Now that global leaders are finally realizing the growing economic costs of climate change and energy insecurity, as well as the growing economic benefits of climate action, the world is headed toward a brighter future."
