Globe and Mail: A major new report on climate change contains stark warnings about what continued greenhouse-gas emissions will do to the Earth. Among the findings of the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Temperatures will continue to rise around the world, with a high likelihood of more - and longer - heat waves. Some regions will likely experience more intense, longer droughts. Many areas will have heavier rain, with more parts of the world likely to experience monsoons....

The IPCCs working group on the physical sciences for the first time set an upper limit on CO2 emissions, contending that humanity can combust only one-third of the 3 trillion tons of fossil fuels that...

Australia: Coalition urged raise emissions reduction target

Guardian: The government has been urged to raise its emissions reduction target in the wake of the IPCC report findings, with the Greens calling on Tony Abbott to "abandon his anti-science ideological view" towards climate change. Leaked drafts of the keynote UN report on climate change, which is released once every six years, show that global carbon emissions need to be cut by 10% a decade if a widely agreed limit of 2C of warming is to be met. Australia has a bipartisan target of a 5% emissions reduction...
