Guardian: Pharrell Williams and Al Gores promise of a second round of Live Earth concerts on seven continents that would be broadcast to an audience of billions has been downgraded to a webcast in Paris, organisers have confirmed.

50 Years After Warning, No Debate in Paris on the Science
2015-11-04 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Diplomats steeling themselves for a historic round of United Nations climate negotiations remain divided by a handful of stubborn disputes. Discord persists over financial and procedural issues, for example, and over how pollution from farming and deforestation should be addressed alongside energy generation. The fundamentals of climate science, however, are not among the issues being debated. The 50-year anniversary of the first detailed climate change warning issued to a U.S. president is...

Climate Home: For Daniel Price, the toughest stretch was cycling across the Gobi Desert. For Erlend Knudsen, it was running through a two-day snowstorm in the mountains outside Bergen, Norway. Their journeys are not over. These two polar researchers have swapped physical science for physical exertion, on a mission to spread awareness of climate change. They are on twin odysseys from the Arctic and Antarctic to Paris, France, where diplomats meet to strike a global climate deal next month. Following the...

Shipping braces for pollution tax after Paris talks
2015-11-02 15:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The shipping industry expects to be stung by a carbon levy as momentum building from climate talks in Paris starting this month makes a cut to its greenhouse gas emissions likely. Any tax - either a levy based on fuel use by diesel-driven ships or a market based mechanism - would add to rising costs for the industry, which transports 90 percent of world trade. A draft Paris text makes scant mention of reducing CO2 from marine bunker fuels. Yet ship industry sources say some form of taxation...
