Pacific Business News: President Barack Obama announced the expansion of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument in Honolulu Wednesday evening using an old Hawaiian proverb that loosely translates to unite to move forward, linking the effort to quadruple the amount of protected waters in Hawaii to climate change. It seems simple enough, but the natives used it as a reminder that if you want to row a canoe, every oar has to be moving in unison, otherwise, youll go in circles, he said. The pace slows, you drift,...

Reuters: China and the United States are expected to give the Paris climate change agreement a big push forward as the world's largest economies gather for the G20 summit this weekend, including potentially jointly announcing their ratification of the deal and action to curb fossil fuel subsidies, experts say. With China - which has shown growing international leadership on climate change - hosting the summit for the first time, "we can expect climate and energy to be front and centre", said Joanna Lewis,...

Reuters: French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday an international deal on climate change agreed in Paris last year was still far from being implemented and called on countries to ensure it was ratified by year-end. "The immediate urgency is to ensure the (climate agreement) is put into action by year-end. That's far from being achieved. I ask you to double your efforts to push countries where you reside to ratify the accord before Marrakech," he said addressing an annual gathering of French...

Climate authority split is no surprise Australia has fought same battle for 10 years

Guardian: The split in the Climate Change Authority is a rerun of the climate policy fight Australia has been having for the past 10 years the clash between what is undeniably necessary and what is politically possible. The CCA report, to be released on Wednesday, lands exactly on the spot where the major parties might, just might, be able to reach a compromise and finally end the barren years of climate policy war, policy reversal and time-wasting gridlock. Guardian Australia understands the report...

Climate simulations show effects of releasing permafrost carbon

Ars Technica: During the last deglaciation, between roughly 21,000 and 10,000 years ago, there was a rise in atmospheric carbon. This surge brought CO2 levels up to where they were in preindustrial times and contributed to the warming that ended the glacial period. But there's a significant item missing from this picture: we don't know where the carbon came from. Researchers had suggested that changes in the distribution of ice, driven by alterations in Earth's orbit and tilt, altered the oceans capacity to...
