Climate change conference in Paris later year is of global importance

Guardian: What is the significance of the Paris climate talks? In 30 years, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will have risen to such an extent that temperatures will be 2C higher than in pre-industrial times, scientists say. Beyond that temperature, there will be devastating environmental consequences: worsening storms, extreme heat waves and rising seas. The most important decision to be taken in Paris will therefore be to agree, through a binding commitment, that 2C is the highest acceptable limit...
Nations warn time running short to prepare Paris climate deal

Reuters: Several nations expressed growing unease on Thursday that time is running short to resolve disputes about global warming after U.N. talks ended with little progress toward an international deal to combat climate change meant to be agreed in December. Delegates representing almost 200 countries trimmed a few pages off an 89-page draft text at the June 1-11 preparatory meeting in Bonn, but stopped short of confronting major underlying issues such as whether to set a global goal for phasing out greenhouse...

Guardian: Climate change negotiators meeting in Bonn on Thursday came up with a last-minute compromise that observers hope will put the talks on track for a new global agreement on greenhouse gases. Slow progress was made until the final hours, as nations wrangled over the wording of an 89-page draft text, intending to cut it down to a more manageable size. After two weeks, the text had been cut by just four pages to 85. But shortly before the talks were scheduled to finish, countries agreed that the...
Paris 2015: UN, France press Australia cut carbon emission 40% by 2040

Sydney Morning Herald: The Abbott government should commit at the Paris climate summit to double the long-term rate at which Australia is now cutting its greenhouse gas emissions, a senior French official said. According to a "provisional evaluation" based in part on United Nations figures, Australia's current goal of reducing emissions by 5 per cent on 2000 levels by 2020 will amount to a 20 per cent cut by 2030 if the same trajectory is maintained, said Nicolas Hulot, a special climate envoy to French President Francois...

What countries have offered for Paris climate agreement
2015-06-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Ethiopia on Wednesday became the latest country to present a plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions for a global climate pact that's supposed to be adopted in Paris later this year. Ethiopia's emissions are just a tiny fraction of the world total, but the African country said that with support from developed nations it would bring them down slightly by 2030. The submission, which came during climate talks in Bonn, means that U.N. now has targets covering 39 countries well in advance of the...
