Eat less meat, dairy to slow climate change, study says

Reuters: Meat and dairy consumption are rising rapidly across the developing world, and consumers are unaware that their appetite for animal products contributes as much to climate change as exhaust emissions from the transport sector, a new survey shows. Climate-changing emissions from livestock are estimated to account for 14.5 percent of the global total, according to Chatham House, a UK-based thinktank. A survey of 12,000 people in 12 countries released by Chatham House late on Tuesday showed that...

Guardian: Curbing the worlds huge and increasing appetite for meat is essential to avoid devastating climate change, according to a new report. But governments and green campaigners are doing nothing to tackle the issue due to fears of a consumer backlash, warns the analysis from the thinktank Chatham House. The global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, planes, trains and ships combined, but a worldwide survey by Ipsos MORI in the report finds twice as many people...

Agence France-Presse: Like ailing giants, the tropical glaciers of the Andes Mountains are melting at worrying speed, raising scientists' fears that many will disappear before anything can be done to save them. These icy castles, scattered across Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, are under a microscope at the United Nations climate talks this month in the Peruvian capital Lima, where 195 countries are trying to hammer out the framework of a global deal to cut the carbon emissions warming the planet. The melting...

Guardian: This week marks the five year anniversary of climategate, a rather grandiose title given to the theft and online publication of controversial email correspondence between climate scientists in November 2009. Since this date, no fewer than six separate inquiries have rejected claims by climate sceptics that the emails contained evidence of scientists manipulating data. But if youre scratching your head trying to remember exactly where you were when this momentous event took place, you are in...

Oopsie! $1 Billion UN Funds to Fight Climate Change Built Coal Power Plants
2014-12-02 15:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Newsweek: About $1 billion in United Nations funding meant to help developing countries take action against climate change went, unnoticed, towards Japanese companies for the construction of three coal-fired power plants, the Associated Press reported Monday. Coal-burning power plants are the worlds biggest source of atmospheric CO2, a key driver of global warming. U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres was apparently unaware of where those funds wound up until it was brought to her attention by the...
