Leaked IPCC report links climate change to global food scarcity
2013-11-07 10:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It's a human-centric approach, but the prospect of a food scare should be one way to get people--believers and deniers alike--to seriously evaluate the effects of climate change. Last week, a source leaked a draft report, drawn up by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and due to be released next March. It's the second of three reports, following the first that came out in September this year. Among other things, the text clearly outlines the threats climate change poses...

Reducing emissions from forests is a crucial step with deforestation representing up to 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions more than that of the entire transport sector. But international efforts to tackle deforestation can only succeed if they involve national parliaments, which will lay the groundwork for a global deal in...
America's growing inequality helped scuttle the global climate change initiative

Mongabay: The link between good economic policy and climate change mitigation is instigated by policies such as the triple-bottom line, carbon limitations, and pro-environmental legislation. However, economic inequality is a little explored piece of the successful fight against climate change. For climate change mitigation and good economic policy to work, economic growth must be broad-based. Indeed, the inability for the United States to make a coherent and progressive stance on climate change has effectively...
