Reuters: Javadekar told the daily that India, on the basis of its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), would take various measures to increase the country's "carbon sink through a massive afforestation drive". The INDC states explicitly that "coal will continue to dominate power generation in the future" and mentioned developing "clean coal" technologies.

Telegraph: We might think that a semi-secret, international conference of top judges, held in the highest courtroom in Britain, to propose that it should be made illegal for anyone to question the scientific evidence for man-made global warming, was odd enough to be worthy of front-page coverage. Last week I mentioned that the Prince of Wales had sent a message to this conference calling for the UNs forthcoming climate meeting in Paris to agree on a Magna Carta for the Earth. But only a series of startling...

Agence France-Presse: It takes the dexterity of a lacemaker to remove the tiny bird caught in nets strung between pine trees on Poland's Baltic coast, a veritable paradise for dozens of migratory species. Polish ornithologist Jaroslaw Nowakowski delicately unravels the Goldcrest, among Europe's smallest bird species, placing it inside a muslin bag before moving it to a make-shift laboratory in a tent for measuring and tagging with rings. The hulking professor says studies by the University of Gdansk over the last...

2015-10-10 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Misinformation about climate change is distressingly common in the United States a 2014 Yale study found that 35 percent of Americans believe that global warming is caused mostly by natural phenomena rather than human activity, and 34 percent think there is a lot of disagreement among scientists about whether global warming is even happening. (In fact, an overwhelming majority of scientists agree that climate change is here and that it is caused by humans.) One way to stop the spread of this misinformation...
