Climate change: IPCC cites global temperature rise over last century
2013-09-21 22:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Observer: Global surface temperatures have risen by almost a degree in the last century. Sea levels have risen, while snow and ice cover has dropped significantly. Coral reefs are being destroyed and weather patterns are becoming wilder and less predictable. And the major cause of this climatic mayhem is now clear. It is the work of humans, who are burning ever increasing amounts of fossil fuel and have raised carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by 40% in the past 250 years. That is the stark conclusion...

Guardian: Scientists will this week issue their starkest warning yet about the mounting dangers of global warming. In a report to be handed to political leaders in Stockholm on Monday, they will say that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have now led to a warming of the entire globe, including land surfaces, oceans and the atmosphere. Extreme weather events, including heatwaves and storms, have increased in many regions while ice sheets are dwindling at an alarming rate. In addition, sea levels...

Climate change 'hiatus': scientists seek to qualify evidence of apparent global warming slowdown

Independent: Authors of a landmark UN report on climate change remain adamant that humans are heating up the planet by burning fossil fuels and cutting down CO2-absorbing forests, despite data from the report suggesting a purported slowdown in global warming over the past 15 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) full 127-page document - due for release in Stockholm next week - is expected to suggest the link between human activity and global warming is clearer than ever, regardless...

Global efforts to tackle poverty and climate change must come together

Guardian: When the secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, takes the floor of the UN general assembly next week, he will address two of the most pressing challenges of our time: poverty and climate change. The debates on these issues are on track to coincide in 2015, a moment that will likely shape international action on climate and development for the next generation. In September 2015, UN negotiators will work towards an agreement on what will come after the millennium development goals (MDGs) expire that year....

Ahead of IPCC Climate Report, Skeptic Groups Launch Global Anti-Science Campaign
2013-09-18 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Conservative groups at the forefront of global warming skepticism are doubling down on trying to discredit the next big report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In recent weeks, they've been cranking out a stream of op-eds, blogs and reports to sow doubt in the public's mind before the report is published, with no end in sight. "The goal is to inform the public, scientific community and media that the upcoming IPCC report doesn't have all the science to make informed judgments,"...
