Protests alone will not save the planet, so a UN report focuses on business risk and investment rather than animals and glaciers.

The question is how to make the world deal with it. And, like so many things, it comes down to protest and money.

Instead, the value of the fossil fuel sector is reckoned to have gone up by $580bn . Financial markets, it seems, don't think the world will stick to the deal it signed in Paris.of the corporate and banking world. Its theme, spread over more than 100 pages, can be synthesised into this: climate change is bad for business. It's going to cost a lot of money to get things sorted, but the longer the world delays, the more difficult and expensive it will get.

However you cut it, the costs are huge. For a start, the money needed - even now - is eye-watering. Moving our economies away from oil, and over to renewable energy will cost trillions of pounds in investment. It might also need some significant changes to the rules.Sarah Breeden, the Bank of England's executive director for international banks supervision

But it does create a curious position - that finance companies get more credit from their central bank for buying shares in oil companies than putting up the money to build a wind farm.
