Reuters: Governments can keep climate change in check at manageable costs but will have to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2100 to limit risks of irreversible damage, a U.N. report said on Sunday. The 40-page synthesis, summing up 5,000 pages of work by 800 scientists already published since September 2013, said global warming was now causing more heat extremes, downpours, acidifying the oceans and pushing up sea levels. "Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in the message. Leaders must...
Effects climate change irreversible, UN panel warns in report

Washington Post: The Earth is locked on an irreversible course of climatic disruption from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the impacts will only worsen unless nations agree to dramatic cuts in pollution, an international panel of climate scientists warned Sunday. The planet faces a future of extreme weather, rising sea levels and melting polar ice from soaring levels of carbon dioxide and other gases, the U.N. panel said. Only an unprecedented global effort to slash emissions within a...

UN warns opportunity to stop climate change fading fast

Age: After a rocky, sometimes controversial six years, climate experts have settled on their message to the world's governments: climate change can and must be stopped but the window of opportunity is closing fast. In Copenhagen on Sunday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produced its final report before next year's summit in Paris where a new global agreement on climate is due to be hammered out. The IPCC's fifth "synthesis report" pulls together the latest climate...

UN climate change report: time running out to prevent 'dangerous, irreversible' impacts

Telegraph: Time is running out to prevent "irreversible and dangerous impacts" of climate change, a major UN report has warned. The world is on course to experience "severe and pervasive' effects of global warming unless it urgently cuts its greenhouse gas emissions. Global emissions must fall by at least 40 per cent by 2050 and be cut to zero by the end of the century, the report from the UN's Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change warns. The longer government delay action on climate change, the more expensive...

Clock ticking on climate change prevention
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Climate change is real. Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and clearing forests, among other human activities, is to blame. And more and more of that global warming pollution is being dumped in the atmosphere each year. So says the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's new synthesis report released on November 2. The synthesis reduces thousands of pages of scientific knowledge to their essence. That essence, however, has hardly changed since the last synthesis report...
