Indian Express: Reinforcing the enormity of the challenge in dealing with climate change, a new UN report has said that even if greenhouse gas emissions were cut in the most optimistic manner from now on, the costs of adapting to the impacts of climate change would be at least two to three times more than previous estimates of just a few months earlier. In a first-ever Adaptation Gap report, the UN Environment Programme has said that current projections of an annual requirement of $70 to $100 billion in adaptation...

UN: Climate Change Costs to Poor Underestimated

Associated Press: The cost to poor countries of adjusting to ever-hotter temperatures will be two or even three times higher than previously thought, the U.N.'s environment agency said Friday ? and that assumes a best-case scenario in which greenhouse gas emissions are dramatically reduced. "If you don't cut emissions, we're just going to have to ask for more money because the damage is going to be worse," Ronald Jumeau of the Seychelles said at U.N. climate talks. The report was bound to sharpen disputes in Lima...

RTCC: The residents of the Philippines region of Tacloban know what loss and damage from climate change looks like. This weekend, this exact same region is now bracing for super typhoon Hagupit, due to hit on Saturday as a catastrophic Category 5 storm.

World is overlooking climate change effects of eating meat, says new report
2014-12-04 19:12:40| Livestock - Topix.net
A new report reveals most consumers aren't aware that the meat and livestock industry is a bigger source of global carbon emissions than transport - and that's even when air travel and shipping are included in the transport figures! However, the report, titled Livestock - Climate Change's Forgotten Sector , also found that consumers were more willing to reduce their meat consumption once they better understood the impacts, giving hope that awareness campaigns could work towards reducing the meat and dairy industries' contribution to global warming.
