As the world glides perilously close to the 1.5°C temperature rise limit set down by the Paris Agreement and the UN warns that the world is on track for catastrophic heating of 3.1°C by the end of the century if it doesn’t change course, humanity is spewing out more planet-heating gases than ever before.

How did you become a journalist? What advice have you got for someone who wants to get into journalism? These are the type of questions I periodically get from people wishing to break into the profession or those curious to learn how I made it at a time when there were few Arab voices in the English-language media and without having a degree in journalism.

Polaris Dawn will orbit in the hazardous Van Allen radiation belt.
