Cevec Pharmaceuticals and Yuhan signed a CAP-Technology license agreement. The license will enable Yuhan to utilize Cevec's CAP-T™ and CAP® cell expression systems for the production and development of various therapeutic proteins.
CAP-T CAP cells are immortalized cell lines for transient and stable protein production developed by Cevec. These nontumor origin cell lines exhibit high protein expression, have been adapted to serum-free suspension culture, and show post-translational modifications that are human-like, including authentic human glycosylation patterns.
"We obtained outstanding results from transfections of various target proteins in CAP-cells and we are convinced that this expression system with its authentic human glycosylation profile will be of great benefit to further develop our pipeline molecules," said Dr. Jong-Gyun Kim, head of the Bio-Innovation Unit at Yuhan Research Institute.
It has been a busy year for Cevec, having previously inked three similar partnerships. In November, the company entered a cell-line sales agreement with Catalent Pharma Solutions and also signed a strategic license agreement with CCS Cell Culture Service, enabling CCS to offer its customers transiently transfected CAP-T cells for cell-based assay and protein production applications. In August, Cevec collaborated with Paragon Bioservices, licensing its CAP and CAP-T cell expression system to develop stable cell lines and perform process development for the contract manufacturing of recombinant proteins and antibodies.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
UPDATE 3: Court ended at approximately 5 p.m., with lawyers on both sides of the issue finishing up witness testimony. Among those to take the stand along with BISD superintendent Timothy Chargois was a BISD paid consultant, a TEA finance investigator, and TEA-appointed BISD conservator Fred Shafer.
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies raided a Beaumont residence on Thursday, June 12, and made a shocking discovery. After days of watching the home, investigators say they knew they were walking into a drug den but were astounded by the scope of the operation.
Texas Education Agency deputy commissioner Lizzette Reynolds has confirmed a decision made by TEA commissioner Michael Williams to lower the Beaumont Independent School District's accreditation status to "Accredited - Probation." The decision was made by the TEA commissioner in the wake of an investigation by the agency that revealed "serious and persistent deficiencies in the areas of financial management, compliance with legal requirements, and special education."
Beaumont firefighters battled a fire in the 6000 Jody Lane in Beaumont shortly after 5 p.m. on June 15, the Beaumont Fire Department reports. They were able to douse the fire, but not before it spread to an outbuilding on a nearby property.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office investigation into the fire that led to the death of 79-year-old Dorothy Hampshire of Vidor is on-going, Orange County Sheriff's Office stated in a press release.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Just a few weeks ago, Wabash awarded sheepskin diplomas to 195 men in the Class of 2016. President Hess reminded them that "Wabash is your home. There will never be a place like it in your entire life. Ever."
Members of the Class of 2016 will find their way to new homes across the country and the world. Some will immediately begin their careers while others will continue their studies at the finest graduate and professional schools. Our undergraduates are also settling into new homes and roles. No matter where you find Wabash students this summer, their education continues beyond the College Mall, beyond the classroom, and beyond the field and stage.
These opportunities are made possible through the annual generosity of alumni and friends. Your philanthropic support, this year and every year, enables Wabash Men to be the beneficiaries of a truly transformative liberal arts experience—on and off campus.
Make your gift by June 30 and make a lasting impact on the lives of Wabash students.

You might call it a silent epidemic. Up to one in five kids living in the U.S. shows signs or symptoms of a mental health disorder in a given year. So in a school classroom of 25 students, five of them may be struggling with the same issues many adults deal with: depression, anxiety, substance abuse. There Are More Than 35,000 Homeless K-12 Students In Washington State By Jennifer Wing • Feb 2, 2016 Listen Listening... / 1:16 There are more than 35,000 public school students who are homeless in Washington state. That's according to the state Office of Public Instruction. Washington's Homeless Student Count Continues To Climb More than 35,000 public school students in Washington were homeless last school year, according to new figures released Tuesday. About 3.3 percent of Washington students are homeless. More than two-thirds of those kids are in families that are doubled up with other families. The number of kids living in hotels and in shelters continues to rise, as well. The state counted more than 1,600 kids living completely without shelter, up from 1,036 in 2011. Program aims to make kids more critical of junk food ads By Jessica Robinson • Oct 9, 2012 Researchers in Washington are trying a new approach to the growing problem of childhood obesity. They plan to teach kids to be more media savvy -- and less susceptible to all those junk food ads. Researchers say kids who spend more time in front of the screen are at higher risk of becoming overweight. And it's not just because they're sitting on the couch. "One of the problems is that there's so much food advertising," says Erica Austin. She heads Washington State University's Center for Media and Health Promotion Research.

NBC (Sun., March 15, 9 p.m. ET)
The Stepford Wives was one of the greatest rotten movies ever made, a classic that gave us a new standard by which to judge the insipid of the world. This second Stepford sequel, starring Barbara Eden, Don Murray and Dick Butkus, could have been—should have been—the hoot of the year. Instead it is a comedy that pulls its punch lines: You see a punk kid with Don King coif and then you watch the town's dads drug him so he can be replaced with a model son, but unless you look hard, you'll never even notice the replacement. A magnificent opportunity wasted.

Work the Shell - Displaying Image Directories in Apache, Part III
In last month's column, we built our directory display script to the point where you could get a smart listing that showed your image files (offering links to any other file type), and we allowed thumbnails to be displayed too.
The latter trick is done by letting the Web browser do the work. If you specify a height or width that's different from the actual image size, Web browsers automatically scale the image to fit the specified dimensions. Even better, if you specify only one dimension, it scales proportionally to fit.
Let me explain that just a wee bit more, because it's critical to this particular scripting project. If you have an image that's 250x250 pixels and you'd like to display a 75x75 thumbnail, the best practice is to specify both height="75" and width="75", of course. The problem is, what if the image is actually 250x317 and you want to reduce it to exactly 75 pixels wide. How tall should it be?
You could do the math, of course, but it's much nicer to let the browser do the work for you automatically, which happens if you specify only width="75" or use a full HTML statement:

Doing that scales it, and you end up with an image that's exactly 75x95 pixels in size. However, if you always constrain one dimension, things can break. What if the image is actually 250x1100, because it's a very tall graphic? Now the thumbnail is going to break the entire layout, because the scaled version of it is 330 pixels wide, quite a bit more than the 75x75 target box for the image!
That's why an ideal script would figure out which of the dimensions is larger, and then constrain that one to the size of the box we seek, letting the other scale proportionally automatically, thanks to the Web browser. And, that's exactly what we'll do!
Big Important Caveat: I realize there's a significant performance penalty for letting the browser scale images—the entire full-size image has to be downloaded, even though you're seeking a smaller version. If it was a problem, you could use a tool such as ImageMagick to scale the images and create thumbnail graphics that were displayed instead, probably dropping them into a cache and creating new ones on the fly as needed. But honestly, don't you have a high-bandwidth Internet connection, and does an additional second or two of load time really matter?
Last month, we created the darn useful script function figuresize, which, when given a graphic image, returned height and width parameters when those could be calculated. The resultant main loop in the script ended up looking like this:
for name in * do if [ ! -z "$(file -b $name|grep 'image data')" ] then figuresize $name if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then echo "" echo "
$name ($height x $width)
" else echo "" echo "
$name
" fi else echo "$name

" fi done
If you read the code closely, it's really not doing anything smart with the height and width parameters, just displaying them in the output. Instead, let's turn that into a test to figure out which is larger. Before I do that though, we need to make some rudimentary improvements to the loop so the output is more attractive:
for name in * do if [ ! -z "$(file -b $name|grep 'image data')" ] then figuresize $name if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then echo "" echo "$name ($height x $width)" else echo "" echo "$name" fi else echo "$name
" fi echo "
" done
The result of running this improved script (where images are clickable, there's a horizontal rule between entries and so forth) is shown in Figure 1.
Now, let's look at how to make the script even smarter:
if [ ! -z "$height" ] ; then if [ $height -gt $width ] ; then dimensionlabel="height" else dimensionlabel="width" fi
Can you see what I've done here? This lets us figure out which of the two dimensions of the graphic is larger and then set the dimensionlabel to that particular dimension. Here's the result:
echo ""

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

President Obama Visits Baton Rouge After Criticism That He's Late
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
It's a girl for Christina Aguilera and her soon-to-be husband Matt Rutler! The couple welcomed their first child together on Saturday, Us Weekly confirms.
The Grammy winner and mentor on The Voice gave birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Aguilera showed off her baby bump in a recent photo shoot for V Magazine, telling the magazine, "As a woman, I'm proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store."
This is the second child for Aguilera, who has a 6-year-old son, Max, with ex-husband Jordan Bratman, and the first for Rutler. The couple got engaged this past January and confirmed their baby news a couple of months later, in March.
Congrats to Miss Xtina and her growing family!

I've been to a lot of schools, and this one is the worst I've been to. Lots of drama, inconsistency, and lack of organization. You really want to make sure you are on top of your own self-education. The positive is that it is the cheapest school in the state.

This. Is a gem of a campground! We stayed here in a class B MH with no slides or toad. Site was concrete surrounded by finely manicured lawn. Dump at site was far back so we had to back onto grass to dump - but okay - since we stayed here only 1 night, only had to do it once. Location is almost right downtown near all stores, etc. The woman who checked us in was super nice and knowledgeable. We would stay here again. We picked a site with all hookups because we could get cable and we hadn't seen TV in quite a while - thus the $39 vs $31 with no dump but no cable. - KAZIMIRA
Sep 2015 - $35.00
Came here after reading reviews. Everything good is true. Beautiful setting with large spacious sites. Great free Wi-Fi, 30 amp service, sewer and cable TV at my site. One site has cable TV water and 30 amp for less money and a number of sites have water and 30 amp service for even less money. Close to town but very quiet and no road or train noise. - signaloil

A very nice place. Well maintained. Walk to the small downtown in 5 minutes where there are restaurants, bars and an IGA grocery store. WiFi is okay, but not great (slows to a crawl at times). Campsites near the road pickup the free WiFi from the hotel across the street, which is fast. Verizon and AT&T signals are strong. We intended to stay one night but ended up staying four because it was so comfortable. Most sites have cable TV. - Charles3

We LOVE this campground, been going here since I was a wee child. It's a national forest campground, so that means no electric or water at the sites. There are a few water spigots around the campground and also at the dump station there is potable water available. Fire rings and picnic tables at each site. We have a 40 ft motorhome and regularly try for site #17, our favorite. It's long enough for two, 40 ft motorhomes to fit, us and our folks. Of course we pay a double fee for doing so, but we don't mind. Our friends try for site number #15 where they can leave their boat tied up to shore right near their camper. New concessionaire this year, seems to be really nice. He handled some noisy folks immediately and they were quiet the rest of the night. Well kept, clean, and rustic camping with well-spaced out sites. You can barely see the next site over as it's well closed in by shrubbery and tall trees. All sites are wooded, so satellite signals are questionable. Host lady has been there for many years, and always comes back! She is so sweet and helpful and keeps the bathrooms immaculate. Bathrooms have flush toilets and cold water, no showers. Bathhouse by the swimming area is very rustic and pretty structure, able to be rented for parties, complete with a fireplace and a little kitchen. No cell service in the campground as its down in a hollow, but if you drive up the road a mile or two, you can reach an Altell signal. Great fishing, our guys regularly catch walleye here, it's their favorite lake for night fishing. Large boat landing area with parking. Only rated a 7 because of course no electric, no water at sites, no showers, and none of the frilly froo froo that some folks come to expect in a park. But we love it, so it's a TEN in our book! - kareninthewoods

We are minutes away from this state park making it very convenient if we forgot something at home. Close to grocery store for items. Friendly staff! Clean bathrooms & showers. Park is monitored by staff. Good spacing between campsites. Beach is very nice. Only downfall is beach & camp ground are pretty spaced out so we have to drive down. - Camper family 3
Aug 2013 - $20.00
There are very few level sites in this park; you need lots of leveling blocks. There are some 50amp sites available. Can be navigated with a big rig with caution. Bery wooded & hilly campground. Probably would return. Verizon 4g was 5mbps down .6mbps up. - jmlsrpc

Rush to Electric Vehicles
Is Worsening Air Pollution in China
The push by the Chinese government and the country's automakers to expand production of electric vehicles is
actually worsening air pollution
and carbon emissions because most of China's electricity is still produced by coal-fired power plants, new studies show. Thanks to government incentives, production of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is expected to grow six-fold to two million cars and trucks by 2020. But studies by researchers at Tsinghua University show that electric vehicles charged in China with coal-fired power produce two to five times as many particulates and other pollutants as gasoline cars. The Tsinghua studies call into question the government policy of promoting deployment of electric vehicles while the vast majority of the country's electricity still comes from coal. "International experience shows that cleaning up the air doesn't need to rely on electric vehicles," said one analyst. "Clean up the power plants."

Massive Transformation to Clean
Energy in the U.S. is Possible, Study Says
A rapid and affordable transformation to wind and solar energy within 15 years is possible in the U.S., according to a new study by NOAA
Map showing U.S. wind energy potential
and University of Colorado Boulder researchers published in the
Nature Climate Change
. This energy transformation could slash greenhouse emissions by as much as 78 percent below 1990 levels, the study said. One of the biggest issues with weather-related power generation is its inherent intermittent nature, leading utilities to rely on gas-fired generators and other reserves during cloudy or low-wind periods. The solution to this problem is to scale up renewable energy generation systems to match the scale of weather systems, the scientists said. The model partially depends on significant improvements to the nation's outdated electrical grid, including the creation of new, high-voltage direct-current transmissions lines.

2015 Was the Hottest Year
on Record, U.S. Government Scientists Say
Last year was the hottest year globally — by far — breaking a record set in 2014,
according to a report released today
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). During 2015, the globally averaged land and sea surface temperatures were 1.62°F (0.90°C) above the 20th century average. December, in particular, was the hottest month ever recorded. According to the report, the record warmth was broadly spread around the world and contributed to significant global climate anomalies and events. NOAA and NASA do separate analyses of global temperatures, and the results they released today show 2015 as the warmest since global record-keeping began in 1880.

Ocean Absorption of Manmade
Heat Doubles Since 1997, Study Says
The amount of manmade heat absorbed by the world's oceans has doubled since 1997,
according to a study
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
released yesterday in the journal
Nature Climate Change
. Scientists have long known that the oceans absorb more than 90 percent of manmade heat, but the study's figures give a new and more accurate accounting for that process over a period of 150 years. According to the study, the oceans absorbed 150 zettajoules of energy between 1865 and 1997 — and an additional 150 zettajoules in just the past 18 years. "The changes we're talking about, they are really, really big numbers," said co-author Paul Durack, an oceanographer at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California. "They are nonhuman numbers." Put in perspective, the amount of energy absorbed by the oceans since 1997
is the equivalent to a Hiroshima-sized bomb
being exploded every second for 75 years.

The ocean waters off the Northeastern United States may get even warmer, and this warming may occur twice as quickly as previously thought,
The Gulf of Maine is warming rapidly
according to a new study
by researchers for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The findings, based on four global climate models, suggest that ocean temperatures in that region will rise three times faster than the global average. "Prior climate change projections for the region may be far too conservative," said Vincent Saba, a NOAA fisheries scientist and lead author of the study. The Gulf of Maine has warmed faster than nearly 100 percent of the world's oceans, likely due to a northerly shift in the Gulf Stream.
Scientists have been studying the warming's impact on the area's marine ecosystem.

Scientists Warn of Biodiversity
Impacts of Major Hydropower Projects
Hydropower is considered by many to be a key ingredient to reducing carbon emissions and meeting global climate goals,

but it comes at a great cost to biodiversity, particularly in tropical rainforests, according to
a new report
published in the journal
. "Far too often in developing tropical countries, major hydropower projects have been approved and their construction begun before any serious assessments of environmental and socioeconomic impacts had been conducted," says the report's lead author Kirk Winemiller, an aquatic ecologist at Texas A&M University. The dam-building rush, with more than 450 dams planned for the Amazon, Congo, and Mekong river basins alone, impedes tropical fish migration and vastly expands deforestation due to road construction, according to the authors. Other concerns include development of previously inaccessible terrain, as well as methane emissions from newly built reservoirs.

Study suggests most nitrogen
found in oceans comes from natural sources
The world's oceans are less affected by human activities then previously suggested by atmospheric models when it comes to increased
Graph of various nitrogen sources found in oceans
nitrogen levels, according to
a new study
published in
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
. The majority of nitrogen found in the oceans comes from the oceans themselves instead of human pollution blown off shore, which contradicts most models, the researchers say. That's both good news and bad news. On the plus side, "People may not be polluting the ocean as much as we thought," says Meredith Hastings, associate professor at Brown University, one of the study's co-authors. Excess nitrogen can throw aquatic ecosystems out of balance and lead to large algal blooms that can be deadly for sea creatures. However, nitrogen also stimulates the growth of phytoplankton, which increases the oceans' ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus mitigating carbon emissions to some extent.

Nature Climate Change
. Hydropower plants and thermoelectric power plants — nuclear, fossil-, and biomass-fueled plants that convert heat to electricity — rely on freshwater from rivers and streams to produce energy and effectively cool equipment. Together, these types of power plants produce 98 percent of the world's electricity, the researchers note. Changes in climate that lead to water shortages and increased water temperatures will affect electricity generation in some regions more than others, says lead researcher Michelle Van Vliet of Wageningen University in the Netherlands. She notes that adaptation measures focused on making power plants more efficient and flexible — such as switching from freshwater cooling to air or seawater cooling — could mitigate the decline.

How Science Can Help to Halt
The Western Bark Beetle Plague
Tens of millions of acres of pine and spruce trees have died in western North America in recent
Diana Six
years as a result of bark beetle infestations spawned by a hotter, drier climate. University of Montana entomologist Diana Six has been working to understand why the genetics of some individual trees enable them to survive even as whole forests around them are turning brown and perishing. In an interview with
Yale Environment 360
, Six explains the root causes of the beetle infestations, discusses why U.S. Forest Service policies may be making the problem worse, and describes why the best hope for Western forests will come from the trees' capacity to genetically adapt to a new climate regime.

Congressional Tax Credits
Expected to Further Boost U.S. Renewables
The renewable energy sector in the United States is finishing 2015 on a high note as Congress has voted to approve
significant extensions for tax credits
for renewable energy, and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has reported a
surge in wind power installations.
Ending uncertainty about the fate of tax credits for the wind and solar industries, Congress has voted to extend investment tax credits for solar power and production tax credits for wind energy through 2022 and 2020, respectively. Renewable energy companies and analysts praised the extensions, saying that, coupled with rapidly falling prices for wind and solar energy technologies, the tax credits virtually guarantee a boom in the production of renewables in the U.S. Earlier this week, the AWEA said U.S. wind energy production has reached a milestone, with 50,000 turbines providing a generating capacity of 70 gigawatts — enough to power 19 million homes.

Marshes Likely More Resilient
To Sea Level Rise Than Thought, Study Says
Marshes may be more resilient to climate change and associated rises in sea level than previously thought, according to recent research
An aerial view of Venice showing elevation by color
published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study shows that as levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase, more CO2 gets taken in by marsh plants. This spurs higher rates of photosynthesis and plant growth, causing marsh plants to trap more sediment above ground and generate more organic soil below ground, the researchers explain. The process can increase the rate of soil accretion nearly enough to allow marshes to keep up with rising sea levels. In fact, the researchers say, it may increase a marsh's threshold for water inundation by up to 60 percent. "Essentially, we found it's a self-rising mechanism marshes use to build themselves up," said Marco Marani, a researcher at Duke University who helped conduct the study.

Severe Toxic Algal Blooms
Likely To Double in Lake Erie with Warming
The number of severe harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie will likely double over the next century,
according to
research from
Sampling lake water during a toxic algal bloom
Ohio State University. As soon as 2050, toxic algal blooms like the one that cut off Toledo's drinking water supply in 2014 will no longer be the exception, but rather the norm, the researchers say. Although several states and Canadian provinces have agreed to significantly cut nutrient runoff into the Great Lakes, the study suggests that nutrient reductions alone might not be enough to stop the toxic blooms. That's because factors associated with climate change — less winter snow, heavier spring rains, and hotter summers — supercharge the blooms, the researchers explain. "Those are perfect growing conditions for algae," said Noel Aloysius, a member of the research team. "We can reduce phosphorus by 40 percent, but the algae won't suffer as much as you might hope."

Accelerating Rock Weathering
Could Help Reduce Atmospheric CO2 Levels
Speeding up the naturally occurring process of weathering rocks to draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere could help to
Weathered limestone cliffs in Yorkshire, England
stabilize the climate and avert ocean acidification caused by greenhouse gas emissions,
according to
research published in the journal
Nature Climate Change
. As rainwater and other environmental conditions naturally break down rocks on the earth's surface, carbon dioxide is drawn from the atmosphere. The process converts CO2 to bicarbonate, a mineral that chemically binds CO2 and is washed away through rivers to the oceans. By modeling the large-scale effects of weathering — which is driven largely by precipitation, vegetation, and soil microbes — the researchers found methods for accelerating this CO2-removal system. Such a strategy could significantly counteract anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions, they say, slowing ocean acidification and protecting delicate ocean ecosystems such as coral reefs.

Landmark Agreement on Climate
Is Reached in Paris to Cap Warming
Climate negotiators meeting in Paris have
achieved a deal
that could change the world. The Paris Agreement commits the
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and other leaders
international community to capping global warming to "well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees C." To achieve that, the agreement requires the world to "reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible" and "to undertake rapid reductions thereafter, in accordance with best available science." The intention is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero in the second half of this century. "This agreement is a turning point," said Johan Rockström of the Stockholm Resilience Center.

process that repeats itself year after year as property owners clear their land of debris for farming. This year, however, saw significantly more fires than usual, and many of those fires escaped their handlers and burned uncontrollably for weeks or months. The fires produced a massive plume of carbon monoxide (CO) — a toxic gas that affects both human health and the climate — that could be detected by
NASA satellites
. "The 2015 Indonesian fires produced some of the highest concentrations of carbon monoxide that we have ever seen with MOPITT," the satellite technology that detected the gas, said Helen Worden, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Typically, CO concentrations in that region are roughly 100 parts per billion. Some parts of Borneo, however, saw CO levels of nearly 1,300 parts per billion in September and October.

Toward Global Target of 1.5 Degrees
It is the big surprise of the Paris talks: the growing acceptance of a call from small nations most vulnerable to climate change
Johan Rockström
for the conference to declare warming should be halted at 1.5 degrees Celsius. Even a few months ago, this seemed unimaginable. Two degrees was the only target on the table. But here it has gained momentum with more than 100 nations, including the U.S. and the EU, agreeing it should be in the final agreement. With more than a day of talks remaining, inclusion is far from a done deal. But it has strong support. A 1.5-degree target "looks much more scientifically justifiable," said Johan Rockström, director of the Stockholm Resilience Institute.

China and the U.S., with resulting declines in emissions for both countries. The fuel looks incompatible with a world that warms by no more than two degrees C, bringing calls for its rapid phaseout as the global economy is "decarbonized." But, with or without a deal in Paris later this week, will the calls be heeded? Has the demise of King Coal been greatly exaggerated? The smart money in Paris is betting that, despite the embrace of coal by some developing countries such as India and Turkey, the dirty fossil fuel's days are numbered. "The inevitable conclusion we can draw on the future of global thermal coal is that it has none," an energy analyst said in Paris.

The flat-lining emissions trajectory is the result of China's recent sharp decline in coal burning and the global surge in renewables like wind and solar power, said Corinne Le Quéré, director of the Tyndall Centre at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, who led the analysis. The study estimates China's emissions have fallen by 3.9 percent this year. Le Quéré said she does not believe the world has yet hit "peak emissions." Continued rapid industrial expansion by countries such as India that still rely on coal for energy means further rises probably lie ahead, she said. But the evidence is growing that peak emissions may be closer than previously imagined.

most ambitious renewable energy program in the world, with 175 gigawatts of green power, including 100 megawatts of solar panels, by 2022. But many nonetheless see India as the biggest single threat to curbing CO2 emissions in the next few decades. The problem is coal. The speed of India's current industrialization is so fast that, even with a huge surge in solar energy, it still plans the world's fastest rate of construction of coal-fired power stations. India's continued reliance on coal will increase its CO2 emissions by 60 per cent by 2030. And that addiction to coal is making enemies among countries that India would normally count as its friends – poor nations most at risk from climate change.

But the truth is that this is China's ball. Nobody personifies the transformation better than the head of the Chinese climate delegation for the past nine years, Xie Zhenhua. He spent years pretending climate change was a developing-world problem that the rich nations had to sort out, and he was widely blamed for scuppering the 2009 Copenhagen climate negotiations. But here in Paris he is quietly confident a deal is about to be done that will be in China's and the world's interests. "China is entering a new normal of energy and resource conservation," he said.

Finance to help developing nations adapt to climate change is potentially the dealbreaker in Paris. Developing nations expect a Green Climate Fund, which would cover adaptation and the cost of moderating their greenhouse gas emissions, to contain $100 billion a year by 2020. If the money is not on the table, they may ditch their promises on emissions — and scupper the deal. Germany, France, and other developed nations promised help in Paris. But the president of Angola, chairing a group of 48 African nations vulnerable to climate change, said $5 billion of such projects were already on hold for want of cash.
