Channel NewsAsia: The severe transboundary haze which blanketed Singapore in June last year could have influenced the results of a recent survey on climate change, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said in Parliament on Monday. The survey, commissioned by the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), showed that only 39 per cent of respondents felt taking action on climate change was their responsibility. This compared to more than 55 per cent who felt that way in a previous survey. Responding to a question...

Climate change mitigation must benefit poor, aid experts say

Reuters: International action to curb climate change must help poorer nations develop in a sustainable way that eases poverty and brings additional benefits such as better health and employment, aid and climate experts have said. The comments came in response to Sunday's publication of the latest instalment in a series of scientific assessments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This third report looked at options for reducing planet-warming emissions. It is possible and affordable...
Oil Limits and Climate Change: How They Fit Together

Energy Collective: We hear a lot about climate change, especially now that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recently published another report. At the same time, oil is reaching limits, and this has an effect as well. How do the two issues fit together? In simplest terms, what the situation means to me is that the low scenario, which the IPCC calls RCP2.6, is closest to what we can expect in terms of man-made carbon emissions. Thus, the most reasonable scenario, based on their modeling,...
Mitigating climate change more challenging than ever

Science: Global greenhouse emissions are skyrocketing. Emissions cuts required to avoid dangerous impacts of climate change are steep. And despite decades of talk, world governments have made paltry efforts to address the problem. Thats the grim picture painted by a major report on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions released today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There is a clear message from science: To avoid dangerous interference with the climate system, we need to move...

Climate Change Adjustments Must Be Fast And Large, U.N. Panel Says
2014-04-13 15:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: A new report from the United Nations' panel on climate change says major action is needed, and fast, if policy makers want to limit global warming to acceptable levels. There's an international target to control climate change: keeping the global temperature rise to just two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels--that's 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now says it's technically possible to meet that goal. But doing so will require rapid, large-scale shifts...
