Climate Home: The world is still on track for dangerous levels of temperature rise by 2100, but countries proposed carbon cuts will make a difference. Submissions to a UN climate deal (INDCs) have lowered warming projections to 2.7C from a 3.6C rise on pre-industrial levels if governments took no action, Climate Action Tracker (CAT) said on Thursday. With two months to go until countries aim to strike a global climate pact in Paris, collective commitments do not meet the internationally agreed limit of...

EcoWatch: People move for many reasons: work, school, family, to seek out the bright lights of the big city or to escape them. But as temperatures rise and global warming continues to manifest itself in rising seas, coastal erosion and more severe droughts, floods and storms, climate change is becoming increasingly intertwined in the reasoning behind why people pick up and leave. Some head to higher ground within their own country; others try their luck in new lands. In Alaska, its the former. As temperatures...

Reuters: Plans submitted by 140 nations to limit their greenhouse gases would go some way towards tackling climate change, but not enough to prevent the planet from warming by well over 2C compared to pre-industrial times, experts say. The plans by countries from Albania to Zimbabwe, led by top emitters China and the United States, were submitted by an informal United Nations deadline on Thursday as building blocks towards a climate accord that negotiators will try to clinch at a summit in Paris in December....

Reuters: At least 10 million poor people face hunger this year and next because of droughts and erratic rains linked to record global temperatures and an expected "super" version of the evolving El Nino weather pattern, aid charity Oxfam has warned. In Ethiopia alone, 4.5 million people need food aid because a combination of El Nino and long-term climate change has made the rainy season more unpredictable, according to United Nations agencies. El Nino, caused by Pacific Ocean warming, leads to dry weather...

Business Green: The number of official national climate action plans submitted ahead of this December's Paris Climate Summit smashed through the 100 mark this week, as the UN's climate change secretariat received a flurry of new Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) from national governments. Over 30 INDCs have been submitted this week, after Brazil on Monday became the latest major economy to publish a climate action plan, pledging to cut emissions by 37 per cent against 2005 levels by 2025, climbing...
