Telegraph: Today's children will face deadly heatwaves which could kill thousands more people by the end of the century, the Royal Society has warned. If governments do not get a handle on global warming by 2100, Britain will experience three times as many heatwaves as it does now with the death toll rising Around 2,000 people die each year in the UK because of hot weather, with the elderly at most risk. But that could rise to at least 6,000 in the next century and probably higher because the percentage...

New Straits Times: Wednesday's mud floods and landslides in Bertam Valley, Ringlet and Kuala Terla are just the beginning of more disasters to strike the highlands, warn environmentalists. They said the highlands would see the horror of more floods and landslides if land-clearing continues. They are asking for regular monitoring and stringent enforcement on all land-clearing activities to be in place to ensure that they are not carried out at the expense of the environment.

Al Jazeera: Scientists, environmentalists and world leaders alike have generally agreed that capping Earths temperature rise at 2 degrees Celsius would prevent the worst effects of climate change -- a cut-off touted again in the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But many experts in the field, including former IPCC leaders, have said that even if global warming is kept to that limit, such a rise could nevertheless devastate the environment and endanger humanity -- the...

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...

Unsustainable population rise is unstoppable, scientists warn
2014-10-28 14:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Not even a global one-child policy or a devastating third world war would reduce the human population to sustainable levels, a study has found. The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concludes that population controls or a global disaster cannot stop the global population reaching 10 billion or more by 2100. A conflict on the scale of the first two world wars would barely register a blip on the population trajectory, while restrictions on the numbers of...
