Guardian: At this point, the scientists who run the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change must feel like its time to trade their satellites, their carefully calibrated thermometers and spectrometers, their finely tuned computer models all of them for a thesaurus. Surely, somewhere, there must be words that will prompt the worlds leaders to act. This week, with the release of their new synthesis report, they are trying the words severe, widespread, and irreversible to describe the effects of climate...

'Severe' climate change predicted

Press Association: The world faces "severe, widespread and irreversible" impacts of climate change without urgent action to cut emissions, a major international report has warned. While there are solutions to climate change, experts warned there was little time before the window of opportunity to limit dangerous temperature rises closed, and that delaying action would greatly increase costs. Significant and swift cuts to greenhouse gases are needed, with the phasing out fossil fuelled power plants without technology...

All talk and little action on climate change

Al Jazeera: Interpreting the mire of UN climate-speak, Id say the message boils down to this: attain near zero emissions by 2100 or billions of our descendants not yet born will be in big trouble. That means we have to start now, tripling or even quadrupling our use of renewable energy so it represents 80% of energy sources by 2050. This latest report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a final précis of the most comprehensive assessment on climate change to date, conducted...
Climate change fight affordable, cut emissions zero by 2100: U.N

Reuters: Governments can keep climate change in check at manageable costs but will have to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2100 to limit risks of irreversible damage, a U.N. report said on Sunday. The 40-page synthesis, summing up 5,000 pages of work by 800 scientists already published since September 2013, said global warming was now causing more heat extremes, downpours, acidifying the oceans and pushing up sea levels. "Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in the message. Leaders must...
Effects climate change irreversible, UN panel warns in report

Washington Post: The Earth is locked on an irreversible course of climatic disruption from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the impacts will only worsen unless nations agree to dramatic cuts in pollution, an international panel of climate scientists warned Sunday. The planet faces a future of extreme weather, rising sea levels and melting polar ice from soaring levels of carbon dioxide and other gases, the U.N. panel said. Only an unprecedented global effort to slash emissions within a...
