  "account": "US President Donald Trump is setting the tone ahead of the World Climate Conference. His re-election prospects appear uncertain after the US midterm elections, which has raised hopes for a potential shift in climate policy. Despite this, a major change in Trump's climate stance is not expected. Trump's focus on fossil fuels has inadvertently driven the growth of renewable energy, both in the US and globally. The recent increase in fossil fuel prices, triggered by the Iran conflict and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, has further accelerated the shift towards green energy.",
  "summary": "The electoral defeat of the US President and the Iran war are changing the tone ahead of the World Climate Conference. Why even petro-states can no longer reverse the green turnaround.",
