Guardian: Warmer, wetter winters and more extreme rainfall are what the UK can expect from climate change, meteorological experts warned on Friday. Although the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) does not go into detail on individual countries, the regional and global trends identified in the assessment can be extrapolated to reflect some of the likely impacts on Britain. Dr Peter Stott, of the Met Office, said more extreme rainfall was likely to be the most noticeable impact....

Climate change stars fade, even if risks rise

Reuters: Compared to the heady days in 2007 when U.S. climate campaigner Al Gore and the U.N.'s panel of climate scientists shared the Nobel Peace Prize, the risks of global warming may be greater but the stars preaching the message have faded. With many governments focused on tackling short-term economic growth, the shift reinforces what former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has sometimes called a "shocking lack of leadership" in confronting long-term global warming. The U.N.'s Intergovernmental...

Guardian: I have spent this week in Stockholm, going through the laborious but fascinating process of approving the Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] Working Group I report, the most comprehensive scientific assessment of climate change written to date. The report is science meets policy. I'm on the science side. With my 259 colleagues, we spent three years writing this report, went through two rounds of reviews, considered nearly 55,000 comments, and wrote...

CNN: The world's getting hotter, the sea's rising and there's increasing evidence neither are naturally occurring phenomena. So says a report from the U.N. International Panel on Climate Change, a document released every six years that is considered the benchmark on the topic. More than 800 authors and 50 editors from dozens of countries took part in its creation. The summary for policymakers was released early Friday, while the full report, which bills itself as "a comprehensive assessment of the physical...

Climate change report: "extremely likely" humans are responsible
2013-09-27 11:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Human activity has caused at least half of climate change in the last half-century, hundreds of scientists say. They are 95% certain of this, the surest they've ever been, says a United Nations report published Friday. That activity? Driving cars, running power plants on coal and oil, torching swathes of forestland and debris; anything involving burning carbon-based fuels and emitting greenhouse gases. We are seeing the consequences already in extreme weather patterns, particularly drought and...
