Associated Press: Global warming is here, human-caused and probably already dangerous and its increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible, a draft of a new international science report says. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday sent governments a final draft of its synthesis report, which combines three earlier, gigantic documents by the Nobel Prize-winning group. There is little in the report that wasnt in the other more-detailed versions, but the language...

Massive emission reductions needed by 2050 to limit climate change damage, reports UN

2014-08-11 13:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: A draft analysis of three UN scientific reports regarding global warming has concluded that by the year 2050, greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced in order to avoid climate catastrophe. The report suggests that reduction targets need to be set at between 40% and 70% lower than 2010 levels in order to avoid long lasting global warming damage. Initially seen by Reuters, the report, published by the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), comes ahead of a climate...

Deep emissions cuts needed by 2050 to limit warming: U.N. draft

2014-08-07 17:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: Deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of 40 to 70 percent by mid-century will be needed to avert the worst of global warming that is already harming all continents, a draft U.N. report showed. The 26-page draft, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, sums up three U.N. scientific reports published over the past year as a guide for almost 200 governments which are due to agree a deal to combat climate change at a summit in Paris in late 2015. It says existing national pledges to restrict greenhouse...

Carbon Emissions: The World Isn't Doing Enough - UN Report

2014-07-10 15:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: A recent report from a group of international science institutions claims that the world's top greenhouse gas emitters are largely failing to cut enough carbon emissions in time to prevent drastic climate change. The report releases key preliminary findings from a more detailed report that is slated for release next spring. The authors, experts from 30 scientific institutions from 15 of the world's top greenhouse gas emitting countries, wanted their key findings on the table now to help direct...

Baseline for normal weather needs to be updated due to climate change, says UN agency

2014-07-10 13:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: The World Meteorological Organisation`s (WMO) Commission for Climatology has said the current baselines for weather are out of date and must be updated more frequently due to the impacts of global warming. Currently, the official existing baseline is based on climate averages of 1961-1990 and is only updated once every 30 years. During this time weather variables such as temperature rises and rainfall are measured and climate normals are created from the averages. These averages can be calculated...
