Leaked IPCC report must be catalyst for a reassessment of global food system

Guardian: In case it wasn't already clear, there is now consensus that climate change will have a significant impact on the world's food systems. A leaked draft of the newest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscored the serious threat climate change poses for meeting demand for food in the coming decades. The contents of the report though not a revelation should be a catalyst for a complete reassessment of the global food system. Increasingly, it is...
IPCC chairman: Are we prepared to "pass on a lousy, spoilt and defiled planet"

Guardian: The chairman of the United Nations' climate panel has warned the world to act on global warming to avoid passing "on a lousy, spoilt and defiled planet" to future generations. Rajendra K Pachauri, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), spoke out as typhoon Haiyan slammed into the Phillipines causing hundreds of deaths and widespread destruction. While Pachauri said it was not possible to blame any single disaster on the steep rise in carbon emissions, the increased...

Leaked IPCC report links climate change to global food scarcity
2013-11-07 10:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It's a human-centric approach, but the prospect of a food scare should be one way to get people--believers and deniers alike--to seriously evaluate the effects of climate change. Last week, a source leaked a draft report, drawn up by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and due to be released next March. It's the second of three reports, following the first that came out in September this year. Among other things, the text clearly outlines the threats climate change poses...

Nature World: A leaked draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change "Summary for Policymakers" cites "widespread and consequential" impacts throughout the globe as a result of climate change. Published on the site No Frakking Consensus, the draft identifies a variety of impacts on ecosystems and societies the changing global climate has, and will have, in coming years. Already, climate change has forced land and sea species to shift "their ranges, seasonal activities, migration patterns, and abundance,...

IPCC carbon budget 'will not drive talks'
2013-10-24 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A key finding of the UN climate panel's latest report on climate change is too politically "difficult" to drive international climate talks in November, according to the UN's climate chief. Last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calculated how much carbon dioxide the world could emit in future without going over 2C of warming and showed that, at current rates, this "budget" would be exhausted within 30 years. It effectively put a limit on the amount of CO2 that the...
