Age: After a rocky, sometimes controversial six years, climate experts have settled on their message to the world's governments: climate change can and must be stopped but the window of opportunity is closing fast. In Copenhagen on Sunday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produced its final report before next year's summit in Paris where a new global agreement on climate is due to be hammered out. The IPCC's fifth "synthesis report" pulls together the latest climate...

Hill: The globe is heading toward severe, pervasive, and irreversible climate change impacts if left unchecked, according to a new United Nations report. In its most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken, the U.N.s synthesis report released Sunday, finds that the evidence behind human influence on climate change is overwhelming and undeniable, as greenhouse gas emissions are the highest in history. The report, which over 800 scientists from 80 countries wrote, additionally drawing from 3,000...

Deutsche-Welle: Governments and scientists have been meeting in the Danish capital Copenhagen this week to adopt a key IPCC report on the state of the climate. It says policymakers must act now to avert the worst. Climate change may have "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems." But there is still time to prevent the worst by reducing greenhouse gas emissions now. That is the message from a report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to be published on November...

Climate Change: IPCC Warns of Species Extinction and Food Insecurity

Business Times: A draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synthesis report warns of "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people, species and 27 ecosystems," unless action is taken, and taken soon. To keep the temperature from rising above the two degrees threshold, net global emissions of carbon must drop 40-70% by 2050, hitting zero by the end of the century. This will mean limiting carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to 450 parts per million (ppm) by 2100, according to...
