Warsaw climate talks: The world's poorest cannot wait for 2015 deal
2013-11-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: We are now at a tipping point that threatens to flip the world into a full blown climate emergency. As the poorest and most vulnerable people of the world endure the increasingly damaging impacts of a warming world, tired excuses and calls to delay action are no longer acceptable. Economics aside, this is a moral and ethical challenge of the highest order. If ministers leave the UN climate talks in Warsaw this week without a clearly defined roadmap to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon...
Typhoon Haiyans Impact Felt at United Nations Climate Change Conference in Warsaw

National Geographic: It is with a heavy heart I have gone about my business at the climate negotiations in Warsaw each day knowing that about 12 million people are affected by the recent devastating Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda. Historic in its scope, meteorologists, including experts from NASA, concluded that it is the most destructive and powerful tropical cyclone to ever make landfall (it made a total of 6 landfalls). It is hard to imagine that such an intense storm (stronger than Katrina or Sandy) would...

Climate Central: The idea of a finite "carbon budget' -- a key part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent assessment of climate change -- have been ignored at the ongoing climate talks in Warsaw, which end on Friday, in favor of what some scientists say are piecemeal emissions cuts that are less likely to solve the problem. By framing the issue in terms of a carbon budget based around cumulative emissions, the IPCC's most recent report showed that it doesn't necessarily matter what short-term...

BusinessGreen: Hundreds of people representing civil society groups from across the world have today walked out of the Warsaw Climate Summit, amid accusations the UN negotiations have been hijacked by lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry seeking to water down carbon reduction targets. WWF, Friends of the Earth, Oxfam, ActionAid and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) were among about 15 groups that staged a protest walk-out from the summit. But the groups now plan to rally their troops in...

Green groups quit Warsaw climate talks lack of progress
2013-11-21 06:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Several major environmental groups, including Greenpeace and WWF, have walked out of U.N. climate talks in Warsaw in protest at what they see as a lack of progress towards an international deal to curb rising global greenhouse gas emissions. More than 9,000 representatives from about 195 countries are gathered in the Polish capital for a two-week conference working towards a treaty to be signed in 2015 to fight climate change. The pact would enter into force after 2020. But the talks, ending...
