UN climate chief attacks billions spent on subsidising fossil fuels

The British Medical Journal (bmj) "Health has moved upstage in climate talks in Paris this week as vulnerable countries, UN bodies, and civil society groups press for a more ambitious deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

As diplomats from 195 countries work to negotiate a final text ahead of the arrival of decision makers next week, negotiations have underlined the disastrous long term effects on health of a rise in global temperatures." (Photo © flickr)
