Eco News: According to new Australian research that highlights the alarming implications of rising energy demand the world is on track to reach dangerous levels of global warming much sooner than expected. University of Queensland (UQ) and Griffith University researchers have developed a global energy tracker that predicts average world temperatures could climb 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2020. That forecast, based on new modelling using long-term average projections on economic...

Climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon: Study

Associated Press: Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain. The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70 per cent of India's 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex, and still poorly understood, ways in which South Asia's monsoon rains are influenced...

Independent: The pledges made by countries at the historic Paris agreement on climate change would lead to completely catastrophic global warming, scientists have warned. In a major analysis of 10 different studies into the effect of what world leaders promised to do, researchers calculated that the planet was still on course for a temperature increase of 2.6C to 3.1C by the end of this century. Their finding was in sharp contrast to the landmark declaration in Paris in November last year that action...
Notice to warming deniers: Weather and climate are different things

Newport Independent: Global-warming skeptics love to make the argument that the changeability of weather forecasts in the short term disproves claims by climate scientists that potential disaster lies just a few decades away as the planet heats up. The fundamental problem with such skepticism is that weather and climate are not the same thing. TV meteorologists are not climatologists. Sometimes it's more difficult to predict whether Sunday's ballgame will be rained out than whether melting glaciers will cause...

Guardian: Universal support is needed from businesses across the world to tackle global warming, the United Nations climate chief says. Business leaders and politicians are meeting in London to discuss how to implement the first comprehensive climate agreement, secured at UN talks in Paris in December, to cut greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous temperature rises. The two-day Business and Climate Summit will look at how companies can continue with leadership that has already seen firms take...
