Report: 1.5°C limit Could Cut UK Sea Level Risks By More Than A Third, vs. 2°C
2015-12-16 11:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Concern over impacts of rising sea levels helped drive an unexpectedly ambitious Paris climate accord aimed at limiting warming to as low as 1.5°C. A report and maps published by research group Climate Central, linked to a recent scientific paper, point to some very different long-term consequences for United Kingdom depending upon the final warming level achieved. Current emissions reductions goals (Intended National Determined Contributions, or INDCs) connected with the agreement point to warming...
India can accept 1.5C warming limit if rich nations make carbon cuts

Climate Home: India could accept a tougher global warming limit of 1.5C in a proposed UN climate deal, but only on the condition richer nations make radical greenhouse gas cuts to meet it. In an interview with Climate Home, Susheel Kumar, Delhis chief negotiator at the COP21 summit in Paris said he had no problem with the world adopting a more ambitious temperature goal. If the global community decides it should be 0.5C what problem should a developing country have? It means developed countries would...
Phase out fossil fuels to limit temperatures, few CEOs say

Reuters: Heads of companies including Unilever and Virgin Group urged a Paris summit on Sunday to get on track to limit temperature rises to the lowest possible level by setting a goal of phasing out fossil fuel use by 2050. In an unusual alliance spanning companies and civil society, the "B Team" is an extreme in the business world by arguing that radical measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions can promote, rather than hinder, growth, jobs and profits. Last month, they called on the Paris summit,...

India, Brazil among nations resisting long-term goals limit global warming

Associated Press: Negotiators from both countries said Wednesday they favor sticking to the already established goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) above pre-industrial times -- a level that scientists say could avoid the worst impacts of climate change. That goal was formally introduced in the U.N. talks in 2010. But many countries are calling for the Paris deal to include a road map on how to achieve it, such as a joint target for phasing out the emissions of carbon dioxide and other...

UN on wrong track with plans limit global warming to 2C, says top scientist
2015-12-03 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: One of the worlds leading atmospheric scientists has told the UN that its present attempt to limit emissions is half-arsed and half-baked and risks handing the next generation a climate system that is out of their control. James Hansen, former head of Nasas Goddard Center and the man who raised awareness of climate change in a key Senate hearing back in 1988 said that the UN meeting was on the wrong track by seeking a 2C maximum rise in temperatures. What I am hearing is that the heads...
