LONDON (Reuters) -The world's leaders must agree to make coal a thing of the past at November's climate summit if there is to be any hope of limiting the devastating effects of the planet's warming due to carbon emissions, Britain's climate tsar said on Friday.

Britain, which is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, known as COP26, has said leaders should go far beyond "hot air" to mitigate the effects of climate change for both rich and poor countries.
