IPCC Issues Stark Report On Present and Future Climate Impacts

Yale Environment 360: Rapidly rising levels of greenhouse gases are already having a major impact on the earths natural systems and the problem is likely to grow significantly worse unless these emissions are brought under control, according to a new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report, released in Yokohama, Japan, said that steadily rising temperatures are melting polar ice caps, sharply diminishing Arctic sea ice, intensifying heat waves and heavy rains, causing the death of coral...

Australia: Great Barrier Reef's bleak future: UN

AAP: The climate change threat to the Great Barrier Reef and the Murray Darling Basin is a stark reminder that we're not immune to the risks detailed in a major UN global warming report, Australian scientists warn. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report says the impacts of a changing climate are already being felt across the globe, but most nations are "ill-prepared" for the worst. Left unchecked, a warming climate would increase the likelihood of "severe and pervasive...

IPCC report warns future climate change risks, but is spun by contrarians

Guardian: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has just published its latest Working Group II report detailing impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability associated with climate change. The picture it paints with respect to the consequences of continued climate change is rather bleak. For example, the report discusses the risk associated with food insecurity due to more intense droughts, floods, and heat waves in a warmer world, especially for poorer countries. This contradicts the claims of climate...

Green cities of the future have a way to glow for lower emissions

Independent: Future green cities could resemble fairylands, filled with radiant buildings and glowing trees, a report has predicted. A spray-on coating would absorb light by day, giving public buildings, roads and pathways a phosphorescent glow at night, helping to improve the safety of parks and alleyways. Even trees could be made to glow in the dark by splicing in bioluminescent genes, say experts. By cutting the need for street lighting, the carbon footprint of urban centres would be reduced. The...
World must adapt to unknown climate future, says IPCC

New Scientist: There is still great uncertainty about the impacts of climate change, according to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released today. So if we are to survive and prosper, rather than trying to fend off specific threats like cyclones, we must build flexible and resilient societies. Today's report is the second of three instalments of the IPCC's fifth assessment of climate change. The first instalment, released last year, covered the physical science of climate change....
