Miami Herald: As the oceans absorb more carbon on a planet increasingly choked by greenhouse gases, scientists worry its reefs -- the great storm-deflecting rampart for much of the tropics -- will crumble and fall. But for the first time, a new study by the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and a team of international scientists has found that at least one soft coral, the shrub-like sea rod found throughout South Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas, is more resilient...

Independent: The UN climate deal agreed between nearly 200 countries in the early hours of Sunday morning was welcomed by politicians but environmentalists and climate activists denounced it as both weak and ineffectual. Differences over the draft text caused the two-week talks in Lima, Peru to overrun by more than a day before a compromise was finally struck. For the first time, developing and developed nations have all signed up to publishing their national plans for curbing carbon dioxide emissions,...

Guardian: Governments took a step back from chaos in the climate change discussions in Lima and found a way forward on Sunday, albeit with some fudges and compromises, giving themselves just 12 months to finalise a crucial international agreement to avoid dangerous levels of global warming.

The five pages of text,...

Xinhua: The annual United Nations climate talks finally wrapped up in Lima, Peru, in the wee hours of Sunday, achieving an acceptable but not satisfying result and leaving unresolved issues to the climate conference in Paris in December 2015. In the past two weeks, negotiators from over 190 countries and organizations gathered in the city hosting the 20th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP20) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to negotiate an new agreement addressing...

Climate change deal agreed at UN negotiations in Peru

Business Times: United Nations member states have agreed an agreement on tackling climate change at negotiations in Peru, that ran days longer than scheduled. The deal will see each country set a target to reduce carbon emissions by next year. It also significantly departs from one of the core principles of recent international climate change negotiations -- that rich countries should carry the burden of emissions reduction, according to the Guardian. Environmental groups criticized the agreement as weak and...
