Guardian: More companies are likely to follow the German utility giant E.ON and shift their energy generation away from coal and nuclear to renewable power, the president of Germanys Federal Environment Agency (UBA) has told the Guardian. E.ONs surprise announcement on Monday, that it would split its operations to focus on clean energy, power grids and energy efficiency services, also increased the prospect of success for Germanys ambitious Energiewende [Energy Transition] project, Maria Krautzberger...
Lima climate change talks best chance for a generation, say upbeat diplomats

Guardian: UN climate negotiations opening in Lima on Monday have the best chance in a generation of striking a deal on global warming, diplomats say. After a 20-year standoff, diplomats and longtime observers of the talks say there is rising optimism that negotiators will be able to secure a deal that will commit all countries to take action against climate change. The two weeks of talks in Peru are intended to deliver a draft text to be adopted in Paris next year that will commit countries to reduce...

Reflecting sunlight into space has terrifying consequences, say scientists
2014-11-26 10:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Fighting global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space risks terrifying consequences including droughts and conflicts, according to three major new analyses of the promise and perils of geoengineering. But research into deliberately interfering with the climate system must continue in search of technology to use as a last resort in combating climate change, scientists have concluded. Billions of people would suffer worse floods and droughts if technology was used to block warming sunlight,...

Australian Foreign Minister says reef not in danger but what do her own scientists say?
2014-11-25 05:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Australias foreign minister Julie Bishop should apologise for claiming the Great Barrier Reef is not in danger from climate change, according to enough scientific evidence to form a small coral atoll. Sorry. Too glib? When the minister representing Australia at the next major United Nations climate change negotiations appears unwilling to accept the advice of her own government science and reef management agencies, then its time to worry. Indeed, one of the worlds leading marine biologists...
Greenhouse gases: More emphasis needed on ozone, methane impact, scientists say
2014-11-21 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: There is too much emphasis on carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and other forms such as ozone, methane and sulphur dioxide should receive more attention, a group of scientists say. Writing a comment piece in the science journal Nature, the group argued that other forms of air pollutants contributed to one in eight deaths worldwide, and nearly 50 million deaths could be avoided by 2040 if emissions were cut in half. Other types of pollutants, such as methane, had a higher global warming potential...
