Toronto Star: The world is warming up and the impact of climate change is already being seen across the globe, an authoritative new UN climate report says. But in this part of the world, which is barely out of the clutches of a long and wicked winter, the report sounds like a conundrum. Make no mistake, the world is warming up, especially the Arctic, said John Stone, an IPCC lead author and adjunct professor at Carleton University. What we have experienced this winter is just weather, said Stone. It...

Drier weather in some regions would result in sharply lower crop yields. Overall, changes in climate are expected to cause significant disruptions that also exact an economic toll. Advisers to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change say that the world economy may suffer...

Guardian: The head of the United Nations climate panel said he hoped its report on the rising threat of climate change would jolt people into action.

National Public Radio: "The effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans" and the world is mostly "ill-prepared" for the risks that the sweeping changes present, a new report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes. The report also wastes no time in pointing a finger toward who is responsible: "Human interference with the climate system is occurring," reads the first sentence in the scientists' summary of their work. As NPR's Geoff Brumfiel tells...
