Six Decades Left to Eliminate All CO2 Emissions, U.N. Says

Bloomberg: The world must halt fossil-fuel emissions within the next six decades to stave off irreversible impacts that may stem from a warming planet, the United Nations said. Sometime between 2055 and 2070, any carbon dioxide produced as the result of burning oil, coal and natural gas should should be compensated with measures that suck the gas out of the atmosphere, the UN Environment Program said today in its annual Emissions Gap report. Those may include planting trees or using carbon-capture technology....
Current climate pledges not enough: UN

Agence France-Presse: Pollution is still rising despite world pledges to cut carbon emissions and more action is needed to rein in climate change, a UN report says. The Emissions Gap report is the fifth yearly analysis that examines how countries are doing and lays out the path toward keeping the average rise in global temperature below two degrees Celsius over the next century. The report by the UN Environment Program and the World Resources Institute said the planet must aim for global carbon neutrality by mid-to-late...

Why two crucial pages were left out of the latest U.N. climate report

Washington Post: On Sunday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world's leading authority on the science of global warming, released its latest "Synthesis Report." And it painted a pretty dire picture. Significant global warming, the report said, is already "irreversible" -- and if policymakers don't act, a dangerous 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) warming threshold will be breached. That's a strong message -- but it might have been even stronger. You see, one of the...
Climate Change Dangers Are 'Higher Than Ever': UN Report

NBC: Pollution and climate change due to human influence is clear, and the observed effects are unprecedented, according to a report released Sunday by a United Nations panel. The 116-page report is the fifth since 1990 prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The latest installment synthesizes the findings of the previous four reports and presents new conclusions that environmental scientists arrived at since the fourth report was released in 2007. Economic and population...
Carbon Emissions Need to Be Zero by 2100, UN Panel Warns

Ria Novosti: Carbon emissions need to be brought down to zero by 2100 if the optimal warming level is to be maintained, a new report published Sunday by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated. To keep a good chance of staying below 2 degrees Celsius, and at manageable costs, our emissions should drop by 40 to 70 percent globally between 2010 and 2050, falling to zero or below by 2100, Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC said in the Synthesis Report, adding that it was a window...
