BBC: A deal to attempt to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2C has been agreed at the climate change summit in Paris after two weeks of negotiations. The pact is the first to commit all countries to cut carbon emissions. The agreement is partly legally binding and partly voluntary. Earlier, key blocs, including the G77 group of developing countries, and nations such as China and India said they supported the proposals. President of the UN climate conference of parties (COP)...

What does the Paris climate agreement mean for Australia?

Guardian: Surely Australia can use this Paris climate agreement to finally end the barren, wasted years of climate policy war. Theres already an uneasy ceasefire, a let-up in the mind-numbing slogans. Labor is promising some kind of emissions trading scheme and a relatively ambitious renewable energy target but no details yet lest it once again feels the barrage of a full bore axe-the-tax scare campaign. Under the sceptical gaze of his partys hard right, Malcolm Turnbull is also unwilling to even hint...

Final climate change deal keeps emissions in check, if it sticks
2015-12-12 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Engadget: After weeks of work, the United Nations is on the cusp of reaching a deal to prevent climate change... hopefully. A just-published final draft agreement sets some clear targets that include a hefty amount of cooperation. The deal would limit the global temperature increase to "well below" 2 Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and reach a balance in greenhouse gas emissions (that is, as many offsets as there are emitters) by the second half of this century. There would be a progress review every...
