Agence France-Presse: G20 states must work harder to ensure a swifter transition to a low carbon economy, NGOs urged Thursday, notably deploring continued EU finance for fossil fuel-powered projects. Major powers should revise upwards by a factor of six greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030 to meet their commitments of limiting temperature rises to two Celsius under last year's Paris Accord on climate change, Climate Transparency said. "Our report shows that while global emissions growth may be coming to an end,...

Ars Technica: During the last deglaciation, between roughly 21,000 and 10,000 years ago, there was a rise in atmospheric carbon. This surge brought CO2 levels up to where they were in preindustrial times and contributed to the warming that ended the glacial period. But there's a significant item missing from this picture: we don't know where the carbon came from. Researchers had suggested that changes in the distribution of ice, driven by alterations in Earth's orbit and tilt, altered the oceans capacity to...

Daily Beast: One of the most significant court cases about climate change was decided earlier this month by a federal appeals court in Chicago. Given that it was steeped in the enervating context of refrigerator regulations, you may have missed it. But amid the stultifying discussions of compressors and insulation foam was a crucial advance in our nations belated attempts to forestall global climate catastrophe. It all comes down to a new phrase: the Social Cost of Carbon. Heres why its important. By...
