Deutsche Welle: At least 140 countries have submitted their tentative pledges to limit greenhouse gas emissions ahead of the Paris summit. A quartet of climate research bodies has criticized the pledges saying they're "not ideal." On Thursday, the international environmental organization Climate Action Tracker applauded the emissions pledges made by 140 countries to limit their impact on global warming. According to CAT, the concerted effort could prevent global average temperatures from rising by 3 degrees...

Climate pledges overshoot 2C target but emissions gap narrowing
2015-10-01 16:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: The world is still on track for dangerous levels of temperature rise by 2100, but countries proposed carbon cuts will make a difference. Submissions to a UN climate deal (INDCs) have lowered warming projections to 2.7C from a 3.6C rise on pre-industrial levels if governments took no action, Climate Action Tracker (CAT) said on Thursday. With two months to go until countries aim to strike a global climate pact in Paris, collective commitments do not meet the internationally agreed limit of...

Climate pledges by 140 countries will limit global warming not enough
2015-10-01 16:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Plans submitted by 140 nations to limit their greenhouse gases would go some way towards tackling climate change, but not enough to prevent the planet from warming by well over 2C compared to pre-industrial times, experts say. The plans by countries from Albania to Zimbabwe, led by top emitters China and the United States, were submitted by an informal United Nations deadline on Thursday as building blocks towards a climate accord that negotiators will try to clinch at a summit in Paris in December....
Carbon cut pledges 'still not enough to cap warming to 2 degrees'
2015-10-01 15:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Earth is on track for average warming of 2.7 degrees Celsius by 2100, outstripping the UN target, said an analysis Thursday of country pledges for curbing climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions. While exceeding the UN goal of limiting overall warming to 2 Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels, the number was an improvement on the 3.1 C forecast issued in September by Climate Action Tracker (CAT), a tool developed by a quartet of research bodies. Thursday...
Govt climate pledges, if implemented, would warm world by 2.7°C
2015-10-01 14:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The combination of Government climate action plans, if implemented, would bring global warming down to 2.7°C, according to an analysis released today by the Climate Action Tracker (CAT). On the day of the October 1 UN deadline for governments to submit their emission reduction targets, or Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) for 2025 and 2030, the CATs estimate of their impact on warming shows that, if fully implemented, they would bring warming down to 2.7°C an improvement...
