If tomorrow was the summer solstice, I'd be worried. OTH, it's the winter solstice.

From the President of the US to the President of the Maldives, virtually almost every leader recognised their economies would be forced to undergo a clean energy revolution within the next few decades.

One of the most telling revelations came not on the floor of the conference but in a briefing from the US senator John Kerry, who is trying to shepherd climate change laws through the Senate.

Asked why anyone would believe the US would pass these bills next year given the level of scepticism in America, he hit back. The state of North Carolina, he said, has just announced it is shutting down 11 coal-fired power plants. South Carolina is refusing to build another one.

America is already moving, he said. He was not worried about its initial 2020 target being seen as too weak: ''We will eclipse it dramatically.''
