Channel NewsAsia: The severe transboundary haze which blanketed Singapore in June last year could have influenced the results of a recent survey on climate change, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said in Parliament on Monday. The survey, commissioned by the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), showed that only 39 per cent of respondents felt taking action on climate change was their responsibility. This compared to more than 55 per cent who felt that way in a previous survey. Responding to a question...

Energy Collective: We hear a lot about climate change, especially now that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recently published another report. At the same time, oil is reaching limits, and this has an effect as well. How do the two issues fit together? In simplest terms, what the situation means to me is that the low scenario, which the IPCC calls RCP2.6, is closest to what we can expect in terms of man-made carbon emissions. Thus, the most reasonable scenario, based on their modeling,...
