That has to stop. That has to end. Included in that, going back to the financing issue, and again citing the IEA, because I am particularly involved with it at the moment, we know that by the end of this decade half of the money currently going into fossil fuels has to divest from fossil and go into clean. Those industries have to change. In a similar way, of the $4.5 trillion per annum we know we need early in the next decade, $1.5 trillion of that has to go into the emerging countries that are completely locked out. That is the first climate justice issue we have to focus on, as well as our own needs, because that brings stability and peace and helps reduce forced migration and a whole range of other issues, which are the real challenges of our time. We will work on all that and look at things like the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty and help, it is hoped, to try to evolve that thinking because we need it in a world that is burning. Unless we change course, all of our security is threatened.
