Climate Change Impacts Already Inevitable, May Soon Be Irreversible

Newsweek: The effects of climate change will be severe, pervasive and irreversible within the next few decades if countries burn more than just one-quarter of the fossil fuel reserves already found, according to a major new U.N. draft report. Already, failure to heed earlier scientific advice regarding fossil fuel emissions have made large-scale climatic shifts inevitable, but a significant reduction of emissions now could still slow these changes, and buy the human race some time to adapt to an altered...

Science group says climate change worsening, dangerous

USA Today: Human influence on the planet's climate is clear and having "widespread and consequential impacts on human and natural systems," some of which may be irreversible, says a draft report out today from a United Nations science panel. "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia," the report says. "The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen."...

Architects prepare for climate change

AAP: There's little question many architects and builders are convinced of the threat of climate change and urge clients to plan for a future of weather extremes. Those who design and construct buildings are required to look decades into the future and are expected to provide owners with the best advice on how and where they should proceed with their projects. Those considerations include everything from what kind of materials to use to best withstand more frequent downpours to whether to build in...

A climate for change: America should not wait while world warms
2014-08-26 02:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: FOR MORE than a century, scientists have understood the basic physics of the greenhouse effect. For decades, theyve realized humans can affect the climate by burning coal, oil and gas. But the countrys leaders remain divided on the need to curb greenhouse emissions, let alone how to do it. Among mainstream scientists, this paralysis is mind-boggling. There is now no doubt that the world is warming. In 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deemed this conclusion unequivocal,...
