Warsaw Talks Ignore IPCC Carbon Budget Approach

Climate Central: The idea of a finite "carbon budget' -- a key part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent assessment of climate change -- have been ignored at the ongoing climate talks in Warsaw, which end on Friday, in favor of what some scientists say are piecemeal emissions cuts that are less likely to solve the problem. By framing the issue in terms of a carbon budget based around cumulative emissions, the IPCC's most recent report showed that it doesn't necessarily matter what short-term...

U.N. climate talks shun carbon budget shareout as too radical

Reuters: Governments are shying away from their own warnings that the world has only a fast-shrinking budget of carbon emissions left to use to avoid damaging global warming, frightened off at U.N. climate talks by the radical cuts it would require. To keep warming to a level that most have defined as manageable, developed nations would have roughly to halve their greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 2010 levels, far beyond most governments' plans, said Niklas Hoehne of research group Ecofys. The global...

At climate talks, weighing success of forest preservation scheme
2013-11-21 21:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Deutsche-Welle: Preserving forests to protect our climate is the idea behind the milestone REDD program launched at UN climate talks eight years ago. At the Warsaw climate summit the question is just how successful the scheme has been. Warsaws bitterly cold winter is evident the moment you arrive at the aiport where an icy wind is blowing. For many delegates at the UN climate conference taking place in the Polish city, the temperatures are a shock. Many of them are from Asia, Africa or Latin America and they...

Associated Press: Hundreds of environmental activists walked out of U.N. climate talks on Thursday, saying they were deeply disappointed by the lack of results with just one day remaining. Wearing ''Polluters talk, we walk'' T-shirts, the activists streamed out of Warsaw's National Stadium, where rich and poor countries were arguing over who should do what to fight global warming. The two-week session in the Polish capital was never expected to produce any big decisions or breakthroughs, but the protesters said...
