San Francisco Chronicle: With international agreements to control climate change hard to achieve, environmentalists hope an innovative new link between California and the Chinese government to cooperate on a range of low-carbon economic ventures jump-starts other ways to tackle the problem. On Friday, Gov.

New Scientist: Australia's landslide election result seems to be bad news for the climate. Following the election of a new government, Australia is to abolish its emissions trading scheme, disband a climate advisory body and institute a carbon reduction policy that experts say will fail to meet its meagre target. It will also scale back the country's embryonic National Broadband Network and direct funding away from research projects it deems "ridiculous". The conservative Liberal-National coalition, headed...

Bloomberg: A report from an international team of scientists due next month will probably focus on a range of evidence that the earth is warming rather than just changes in air temperature, according to a climate scientist who has seen drafts of parts of the study. The rate of polar ice melting, warming of oceans and the steady rise of sea levels all point to a planet heating up, said Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist in the climate analysis section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and...
Australia: There's a hole in the Coalition's climate-change policy

Sydney Morning Herald: Can "direct action" cut Australia's carbon emissions for the price Tony Abbott says it can? Climate change minister Mark Butler says not. Last week he welcomed "new independent modelling", which he said showed the Coalition's policy would "cost billions of dollars more than Tony Abbott claims and has no chance of meeting Australia's emissions reduction target". He highlighted this finding: "To achieve the emissions reductions required to deliver the Coalition's commitment to the 5-25 per cent targets...
