LA Times: When Gov. Jerry Brown visits the Vatican this week for an international conference, he'll be carrying a resolution from state lawmakers supporting Pope Francis' recent encyclical on climate change. He's hoping the Legislature will send an even stronger message later this year by passing new environmental rules aimed at helping California slash greenhouse-gas emissions over the next few decades. Approval of the legislation, intended to enact goals outlined by the governor this year, would bolster...

Yale Environment 360: Several climate measures indicate that 2014 was the warmest year on record, according to a new report compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Based on data collected from 413 scientists and 58 countries, the analysis found that sea surface temperatures, upper ocean heat content, and global sea level all achieved record levels in 2014. Four independent global data sets also indicated that 2014 global surface temperatures were the warmest on record. Earlier this year,...

Global climate treaty may hinge on the strength of its teeth

Inside Climate: One of the most sensitive unresolved questions facing negotiators of a new global climate treaty is how binding it will be. If the treaty expected to be reached in Paris this year is without enforceable strict rules, some argue it will not be credible, while others say if nations are bound too rigidly, they won't agree to anything ambitious enough to matter. And the key to the whole conundrum is likely the United States. Behind the scenes, a consensus may be emerging that the treaty's only truly...

Global Climate Change: 20 Feet Underwater Optimistic Forecast

Clapway: The future is dark, and the future is wet, says a new paper from the journal Science. Although it forecasts a thirty-five year wait for really heavy climate change, the paper claims that in this time, the sea levels can be expected to rise by at least 20 feet. To make matters bleaker, this is a best-case scenario forecast, i.e. the twenty feet is an optimistic minimum assuming we manage can manage, as a global society, to hold the global temperature at 2 degrees Celsius higher. Many, however, believe...

China's climate change promise opens way global deal

South China Morning Post: China has sent countries sitting on the sidelines of international climate change negotiations a powerful message. Its pledge to substantially cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent more than previously indicated lifts expectations others will make similar promises. With common ground having been found with the European Union and the US, momentum for an agreement is building. That amounts to the best hope yet of a meaningful deal being struck at UN talks in Paris in December. The goals laid...
