Associated Press: The U.N.'s expert panel on climate change on Sunday highlighted the disconnect between international goals to fight global warming and what is being done to attain them. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must drop by 40-70 percent by 2050 to keep the global temperature rise below the 2-degree C (3.6-degree F) cap set in U.N. climate talks, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said. The opposite is happening now. On average global emissions rose by 2.2 percent - or...

Climate Change Adjustments Must Be Fast And Large, U.N. Panel Says

National Public Radio: A new report from the United Nations' panel on climate change says major action is needed, and fast, if policy makers want to limit global warming to acceptable levels. There's an international target to control climate change: keeping the global temperature rise to just two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels--that's 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now says it's technically possible to meet that goal. But doing so will require rapid, large-scale shifts...

U.N. climate panel warns speedier action is needed to avert disaster

New York Times: The countries of the world have dragged their feet so long on global warming that the situation is now critical, experts appointed by the United Nations reported Sunday, and only an intensive worldwide push over the next 15 years can stave off potentially disastrous climatic changes later in the century. It remains technically possible to keep planetary warming to a tolerable level, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found, according to a report unveiled here. But even in parts of the...

World must turn from fossil fuels to cleaner energy to avoid climate disaster, panel says

Washington Post: The amount of global greenhouse gas emissions soared to "unprecedented levels' over the decade ending in 2010, the world's top climate scientists said Sunday, and now governments must act aggressively to lower emissions or face the most dangerous consequences of global warming. At a meeting in Berlin, the scientists released an authoritative report showing that emissions from human development increased more between 2000 and 2010 than each of the previous three decades. It is a clear sign, they...
