Models overestimate rainfall increases due to climate change, experts say
2015-12-10 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Lawrence Livermore researchers and collaborators have found that most climate models overestimate the increase in global precipitation due to climate change. Specifically, the team looked at 25 models and found they underestimate the increase in absorption of sunlight by water vapor as the atmosphere becomes moister, and therefore overestimate increases in global precipitation. The team found global precipitation increase per degree of global warming at the end of the 21st century may be about...

2015-12-10 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: The Paris climate deal will be "meaningless" and will fail to avert dangerous global warming unless countries agree to pledge deeper emissions cuts every five years, the EU has warned, as talks look set to overrun their Friday deadline. An agreement signed at the UN summit will "never achieve" its aim of preventing extreme climate change unless China and other emerging economies drop their opposition to a five-yearly review process, Miguel Arias Caete, the EUs climate commissioner said. The...
Calling time on a global climate deal: Fabius's fuzzy 'consensus'
2015-12-10 20:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: To conclude a landmark global climate agreement expected to set off a trillion-dollar overhaul of the world's high-carbon energy system, there will be no vote, no show of hands, no acclamation. Instead, the weighty task of officially sealing four years of global negotiations falls to the somewhat subjective judgment of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who will call time on talks as soon as he believes 195 nations have finally reached a "consensus" on how to stop the world from warming....
