Inter Press Service: Seen for years as passive actors in the fight against global warming, more than 100 countries of the Global South have submitted their national contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonising their economies. With differing levels of ambition and some targets conditional on international financing, the commitments assumed by developing economies put pressure on the big global emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG) and reinforce the ethical stance that the phenomenon of climate...

NBC: It's not always climate change. I am very sensitive about this. It is incorrect to blame each and every extreme weather event on global warming and climate change. Some climate change awareness, education, and advocacy organizations that I follow on social media can, at times, be too quick on the trigger. Fewer Hurricanes? Bring it On! Yes, the dice are loaded, the deck is stacked, and the propensity for a myriad of dangerous weather and water extremes is higher in a warmer world. However,...

Nasdaq: What should we fear most? 'Events dear boy, events,' was British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's answer. This rings true when surveying the VW debacle .

The text is a crucial step forward for the talks, as previous versions of the draft were judged to be too long and unwieldy for negotiators to grapple with in time for the December deadline. Governments are meeting in Paris to forge a new global agreement on the climate, including cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, that will take effect from 2020,...

Associated Press: One of the most eroded Native Alaskan villages on the states coast is being considered as a possible national model for moving entire communities whose futures are threatened by natural disasters escalated by climate change. The state is hoping to kick-start an exodus from the village of Newtok, about 500 miles west of Anchorage, through a national competition for states and local governments vying for a slice of nearly $1 billion in grants to be awarded by the federal Department of Housing and...
