New York Times: Delivering the latest stark news about climate change on Sunday, a United Nations panel warned that governments are not doing enough to avert profound risks in coming decades. But the experts found a silver lining: Not only is there still time to head off the worst, but the political will to do so seems to be rising around the world. In a report unveiled here, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that decades of foot-dragging by political leaders had propelled humanity into a critical...

New report warns of rapidly increasing carbon emission levels

PBS: A new U.N. report on climate change released Sunday warns that humans have made little progress on environmental issues in recent years. Despite efforts by some countries to decrease carbon emission levels, massive new policy changes are going to be needed, said Dr. David Victor, who co-wrote the third installment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) report. In the last decade emissions have grown more rapidly than in any decade since 1970, he said. I spoke with Dr....

Climate panel warns emissions rising, blurs reason

Associated Press: The U.N.'s expert panel on climate change on Sunday highlighted the disconnect between international goals to fight global warming and what is being done to attain them. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must drop by 40-70 percent by 2050 to keep the global temperature rise below the 2-degree C (3.6-degree F) cap set in U.N. climate talks, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said. The opposite is happening now. On average global emissions rose by 2.2 percent - or...

New York Times: The countries of the world have dragged their feet so long on global warming that the situation is now critical, experts appointed by the United Nations reported Sunday, and only an intensive worldwide push over the next 15 years can stave off potentially disastrous climatic changes later in the century. It remains technically possible to keep planetary warming to a tolerable level, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found, according to a report unveiled here. But even in parts of the...

Investments in renewables must increase, warns UN

Blue and Green: Trillion-dollar shifts in investments are needed to scale up the use of renewable energy sources if runaway climate change is to be prevented, a UN report has warned. Published today after a week of deliberations in Berlin, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) new report attempts to explain how global warming can be limited to 2C from pre-industrial levels the point above which scientists fear a number of climate tipping points will be crossed. Without mitigation, scientists...
