Climate Home: A Paris climate agreement must not let ships off the hook for their greenhouse gas emissions, delegates heard at a side event of COP21 on Saturday. Accounting for 2-3% of global emissions today, the sector`s share is projected to grow to 6-14% by 2050 as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) refuses to cap carbon. If not addressed, this will make it hard to meet a UN goal to hold global warming to 2C or even 1.5C, experts warned. Tony de Brum, foreign minister of the Marshall Islands,...

Associated Press: The once black-and-white world of climate negotiations for poorer countries has evolved into many shades of gray at talks this week in Paris. For years, many in the developing world said richer countries created the global warming problem with their industrial emissions so it is up to them to clean it up -- a sticking point in past climate negotiations.
