let's get some reaction with chris morris, who is with me here.t you make of this deal, this draft deal? i think if you take a step back you can say probably as much progress has been made in glasgow as you might expect but we are still miles away from where scientists say we need to be in terms of the basic task of cutting emissions, cutting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming. greenhouse gas emissions to prevent globalwarming. he greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming. he said there needed to be a 45% cut compared to 2010 by 2,030 and even with all the pledges made here were not a quarter of the way so there is a huge task to come. there will be though still not happy with this new draft. oxfam have put out a statement saying it is not good enough that the least developed countries are in danger of being forgotten here. those are the kind of dynamic you always have around conferences like this because you are trying in a statement like this you are getting pretty much every country in the world to sign up to you have p

here's our reality check correspondent, chris morris: renewable energy sources generated more electricityyear that's happened, and most of the increase in renewable power came from offshore wind farms. in fact, with thousands of miles of coastline and loads of windy seas, the uk already produces about 40% of europe's offshore wind power. a lot of it is out here off the east coast of england. hornsea i is currently the largest offshore wind farm in the world, and hornsea 2, due for completion next year, will be even bigger. these areas cover hundreds of square miles. further north, about 80 miles of the yorkshire coast, an even larger wind farm is under construction in the shallow waters of dogger bank. now, all the electricity generated offshore gets sentback the uk offshore gets sent back to the uk through a series of underwater cables. now, these turbines are considerably bigger than anything you might see down the road. some of the largest ones are about 260 metres high, nearly nearly as tall as the shard in london, and they have motor blades longer than a football pitch. so, how much

here's our reality check correspondent chris morris to explain.t? and who should take the lead in trying to fix it? these are the big questions at the heart of climate justice. the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world are the least likely to cause the pollution leading to climate change. if you look at the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet up, the richest 1% of the earth's population are responsible for more than the poorest 50%. yet the poor are often the most likely to be affected by its most detrimental impacts — farmland turning into desert, sea level rises threatening homes, or extreme weather events like flash floods and wildfires. these things can happen anywhere, but the poorest countries have far fewer resources to deal with them. climate justice also means taking account of historical emissions. it's true that china produces the most greenhouse gases in the world at the moment, but over the last 250 years, the us and europe have produced far more. the rich world has accepted responsibility for these emis
