Paris climate summit: missing global warming target 'would not be failure'
2015-02-04 17:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The European Union climate chief says talks at a major climate summit in Paris this year will not be a failure even if governments fail to keep warming below the dangerous 2C threshold. The comments, downgrading expectations for a strong outcome at Paris, suggest that the architects of a global climate deal are already resigned to the prospect that governments will fail to aim high enough when setting out their targets for cutting greenhouse gas emission in the coming months. 2C is an objective,...

Climate Change Is Altering the Global Heat Engine
2015-01-30 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Smithsonian: Climate scientists have been warning for a while that as the planet heats up, storms will become fewer but stronger. This trend has been seen in a variety of historical data tracking wind speed, rain and snow over the past century or so. Now a team of researchers has figured out why, and the explanation is firmly rooted in atmospheric thermodynamics. Global warming is intensifying the worlds water cycle, and that drains energy from the air circulation that drives stormy weather, say Frederic Laliberté...

Not this year, though, thanks to a budget line item whose fate will be closely tracked by an international audience. The line item of interest is President Barack...

Guardian: Global pressure will force Australia to do more on climate change, Britains prime minister, David Cameron, has predicted. Cameron told a committee of British MPs in London he sensed the Australian government recognised it did not want to be the international back marker on the issue. Look, its a sovereign country. It has to make its own decisions. There has obviously been a very big debate in Australia about carbon taxes and prices and all the rest of it, Cameron said as he gave evidence...

Environment News Service: A climate deal reached late today by world governments at a UN conference in Lima keeps negotiations on track for a universal global climate treaty in Paris in 2015, but the weak text points to a tough year of talks ahead. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed the outcome of the UN-backed climate conference, praising delegates for setting the groundwork for a more conclusive agreement to be reached in Paris. The UN Climate Change Conference, known also as Conference of the Parties...
