Environmental News Network: Scientists specializing in forest ecosystems and climate change called on President Obama today to protect public forests from logging and development in efforts to forestall global warming and compliment the presidents recent proposal for tighter restrictions on coal-fired power plants. New forest inventories show that the nation's forests absorb nearly one-quarter of our greenhouse gas pollutants if left undisturbed. In contrast, logging releases most of the carbon stored as carbon dioxide,...

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...

U.N. scientists aim to pitch climate case to widest audience

Reuters: A U.N. panel of global climate scientists were set to work through Thursday night to ensure that their strongest case yet for man-made global warming would make sense to the widest possible audience. Drafts show that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is set to pronounce that most of the warming of the Earth's surface since the 1950s is "extremely likely" -- at least 95 percent probable -- to be man-made. At its last meeting in 2007, it put the probability at 90 percent, and...

LiveScience: As the huge effort to compile the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report comes to a close this week, many researchers expect new certainty to emerge in such areas as sea level rise and global temperature increases. Climate scientists are generally pleased with the evolution of and output of the group, though some would like to see stronger messages from it. Some scientists also want to cut down the timescale of the massive operation, which takes several years and is done...
