Guardian: An international deal on global warming must have legally binding targets, Europe will argue at a UN climate summit in Peru next week. The Lima conference is intended to deliver the first draft of an accord to cut carbon emissions and stave off dangerous climate change, which is expected to be signed at a UN conference in Paris next year. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior EU official in Brussels said that the bloc had not abandoned its position that any agreement on emissions cuts...

Xinhua: Some 10,000 delegates attending a UN climate change conference in the Peruvian capital of Lima next month will get around in ecological cars, the state Andina news agency reported Wednesday. A total of 171 electric and hybrid cars, worth 10.2 million U.S. dollars, will shuttle participants to the upcoming conference on Dec. 1-12, the report said. The use of the "green" cars is an example of Peru's efforts in cutting greenhouse gas emissions that accelerate global warming, Peruvian Foreign Minister...

Independent: Global weather will become increasingly extreme, with the planet facing rising surfacing temperatures, higher sea levels and flash flooding. In the next 100 years the most vulnerable people, either elderly populations or those living in extreme poverty, will face increasing risk from shifting weather patterns, according to a report published by The Royal Society. The 124-page inquiry, Resilience to extreme weather, comprehensively details what we can expect in the coming 100-years and how best...

Climate Change Threatens Bees: More Evidence

Nature World: With the threat neonicotinoid use poses to honeybees gaining international attention, researchers are now focused on finding other factors that are contributing to a worrying decline in bees across the globe. Climate change, they say, is certainly to blame, and parasites may be one reason why. That's at least according to a team of researchers at Queen's University Belfast, who have found evidence that the spread of an exotic parasite that threatens the UK's honeybee population could be sped up...

Climate change threatens honeybees: Study
2014-11-26 05:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Jagran Post: The gut parasite Nosema ceranae - which originates in Asia but can now be found worldwide - is likely to cause increasing damage to UK bees as the Earth heats up through climate change. The new finding suggests that this parasite not only has a superior competitive ability, but that its numbers could rise with climate change, researchers said. "This emerging parasite is more susceptible to cold than its original close relative, possibly reflecting its presumed origin in east Asia," co-author...
