EU's domestic-only climate proposal reflects global stalemate

Reuters: The European Union had little choice in proposing not to outsource more of its emission cuts abroad to meet a 2030 target because the slow pace of global talks to develop new carbon markets gave it nothing to buy, a senior EU official said. The European Commission in January proposed cutting the bloc's greenhouse gas output by 40 percent under 1990 levels entirely from reductions made within the 28-nation EU unless a global climate change agreement requires it to deepen the goal. Juergen Lefevere,...

Global climate laws now cover nearly 90% of carbon pollution

RTCC: Over 60 countries responsible for 88% of global greenhouse gas emissions now have legislation aimed at cutting carbon pollution and promoting green growth. The finding is part of a new study by the London-based NGO Globe International, which the UN says is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the reach and depth of national climate change laws around the world. It comes 18 months before a new UN emission reduction treaty is set to be signed in Paris, and amid growing fears that leading...
Global warming slowdown 'doesn't invalidate' climate change'

Guardian: The slowdown in rising global surface temperatures is not a sign that climate change is no longer happening, the national science academies of the US and the UK have said. Publishing a guide on the state of climate change science, the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society said the short-term slowdown this century did not "invalidate" the long-term trend of rising temperatures caused by man-made climate change. "Despite the decadal slowdown in the rise of average surface temperature,...

Marietta Times: As our attention turns to the glitz, glamor, and excitement of the Winter Olympics, it's time to consider climate change-yes, climate change. The element of snow is required for many winter Olympic events, but there is much worrisome information about the growing shortage of snow throughout the world. Consider a few facts: the storage 16 million cubic feet of snow last year by the Russian government under insulated blankets to ensure its presence this year for the outdoor Olympic events; the numerous...

Voice of America: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has told an audience in Jakarta, Indonesia, that climate change is a threat to the entire world. Kerry said the science of climate change is compelling the world to act and that the science is absolutely certain. He stressed that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is happening and that it is caused by human activity. Many scientists say a warmer planet means a rise in sea levels, which could have a dangerous impact on island nations like...
