Was this year's climate summit a game-changer?

The deal at this year's COP conference in Dubai is being hailed
as "historic" because it's the first time nearly 200 countries
have all acknowledged the role of fossil fuels in Climate Change.
But critics says the agreement is riddled with loopholes, and
that the pledge to "transition" from oil, gas, and coal is too
weak.


So who's right? And what difference will this year's discussions
make? Graihagh Jackson gets the low-down from COP from BBC
Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt, and she talks to three leading
experts on Climate Change diplomacy.
