Welcome to the weekend. This week, the Paris climate conference kicks off. The COP21 summit, involving nearly 200 nations, is intended to produce a global agreement to reduce carbon emissions and limit temperature change. We spent more than $3 billion on Cyber Monday, and 26% of that was spent via a mobile device. Americans used to go shopping. Now, we shop on the go. China pledged $60 billion for African development. President Xi Jinping presented a 10-point development plan for the countries involved with the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, hosted in Johannesburg.
