Asahi Shimbun: A new report from an influential U.N. climate change panel predicts a spike in global temperatures and sea levels toward the end of the century, with much of the blame falling on humans. According to the draft of the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the average temperature will increase by a maximum of 4.8 degrees and the sea level will likely rise by up to 81 centimeters by 2100.

Wind power generation at record levels in four Australian states

Guardian: Wind energy records were broken in four states in August, according to new figures, as the Coalition gears up to place the wind power industry under greater scrutiny should it win power on Saturday. The Clean Energy Council said that the amount of power produced by Australia's wind farms in August was enough to power Sydney Opera House for the next 57 years. South Australia, which has led the way in wind energy, was again the frontrunner, deriving 38% of its power from the wind last month,...
