Star: Greenhouse gas emissions grew almost twice as fast in the past decade as they did in the previous 30 years, bringing the world another step closer to a level of warming that could wreck havoc with the climate if humans dont end their dependence on fossil fuels, says a shocking new report by the UN climate panel. The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the third of three since September calls for a drastic shift from fossil fuels like oil and coal to renewable energy...
Climate panel says emissions rising, avoids blame

Associated Press: The U.N.'s expert panel on climate change on Sunday highlighted the disconnect between international goals to fight global warming and what is being done to attain them. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must drop by 40-70 percent by 2050 to keep the global temperature rise below the 2-degree C (3.6-degree F) cap set in U.N. climate talks, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said. The opposite is happening now. On average global emissions rose by 2.2 percent ...

LiveMint: he latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that global emissions have gone up substantially despite policies to reduce climate change. It shows that the level of greenhouse gases has risen to an unprecedented high and emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 compared with each of the three previous decades. IPCC is a United Nations body that compiles and reviews existing literature on climate change. This report is from Working Group III, being the last...

ScienceDaily: Greenhouse gas emissions from today will greatly affect our descendants for at least 1000 years. "In 1000 years, between 15 and 40 per cent of the CO2 we emit today will still be left in the atmosphere," says Professor Anders Hammer Strmman at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). "We are talking about effects 30 generations ahead. This is something people need to take to heart now." It doesnt stop with 30 generations either. The effects of our actions today will be...

Guardian: Greenhouse gas emissions grew nearly twice as fast over the past decade as in the previous 30 years, bringing the world closer to warming that will bring dramatic and dangerous changes to the climate, according to a leaked draft of a United Nations' report. The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the growth rate in emissions over the from 2000-10 was higher than expected even after taking into account the economic slowdown. "Global GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions...
