The latest report on the global climate by the European Union Copernicus Climate Change Service found the past 11 years have been the 11 warmest years on record.
That is some record - maybe not one we want to dwell on too long.
With the world warming and certain countries trying to accelerate the exploitation of fossil fuels one might be forgiven for thinking the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
However the drive toward the replacement of energy sources from fossil to renewable is accelerating faster each year and the economics point in that direction too.
Sometimes you can bet against the house and win - but the fate of the planet dictates that we must go green.
