KQED: On Sunday, the United Nations released one of its bluntest and bleakest reports to date on the dangers of global warming. The study from The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that the world must cut nearly all greenhouse gas emissions by 2100 in order to head off the worst effects of climate change. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged world leaders to act, saying that the science is unambiguous. We speak with three authors of the report about future impacts of climate change...

Significant and swift cuts to greenhouse gases are needed, with the phasing out fossil fuelled power plants without technology...

Telegraph: The world is on course to experience "severe and pervasive' negative impacts from climate change unless it takes rapid action to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, a major UN report is expected to warn on Sunday. Flooding, dangerous heatwaves, ill health and violent conflicts are among the likely risks if temperatures exceed 2C above pre-industrial levels, the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will say. Yet on current trends, continued burning of fossil fuels could...
