The study - which takes a laser focus on climate change in the 2020s, a critical decade to stop the worst damage - finds all 10 measures are going in the wrong direction. And most of them are doing so at a faster rate. The findings are "unprecedented" but "unsurprising", given the world continues to pump record levels of planet-warming gases into the atmosphere.

For years nuclear was a dirty word. Now, the tide is turning. For the past 20 years or so, global nuclear power has stagnated amid concerns about its environmental damage and its safety after the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. Another nail in its coffin appeared to be its appalling record of delays and spiralling costs, while wind and solar plummeted in price and soared in supply.
