In 2017 the U.S. received a harsh reminder of the perils of the rise in the planet’s temperature: a destructive rash of hurricanes, fires and floods. The future is looking brighter than ever and here’s how it’ll keep heading that direction.

Artificial Island Hub Will Collect Wind Energy and Divert it to Shore
"The winds of change are blowing towards renewable energy, and nations are becoming increasingly more creative in how they can capitalize on the growing trend. At present, the most popular sources of renewable energy come from either solar or wind. Both, however, require tracts of land for their infrastructure. With real estate for wind farms becoming increasingly expensive and scarce, Dutch power grid and energy network operator TenneT wants to build wind turbines on the sea.
Well, not on water per se: rather, on shallow areas in a region in the North Sea called the Dogger Bank. Located some 125 km (78 miles) off the East Yorkshire coast, Dogger Bank is supposedly a windy enough site, allowing the company to optimize wind energy generation.
The Dogger Bank project is effectively what’s called an offshore wind farm, but what makes this project radical is the artificial island built in the middle. This would serve as a hub for the vast offshore farm, expected to be even bigger in scale than the current largest windfarm in Gansu, China. TenneT expects the Dogger Bank project to be able to handle a capacity of 30GW..."

China Launches World’s Biggest Carbon Trading Market: ‘It’s like the Pyramids of Giza for climate policy’
"China launched a nationwide carbon-trading scheme Tuesday, solidifying the country's role as an emerging leader in the fight against climate change.
The market will initially cover about 1,700 of the country's coal- and natural-gas-based power-generating companies, accounting for about 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year — more than a third of the country's total, China's powerful National Development and Reform Commission announced at a news conference..."
