Scientists tackle 'difficult problem' how warming spreads Lyme disease

ClimateWire: In 2008, Rachael French, a then-healthy 22-year-old, vacationed with friends in a cabin in the woods near Gaylord, Mich. On the last day of the trip, while at a local water park, French said she felt the sting of chlorine on an open wound, looked down and noticed a small scab on her thigh. She figured it was a spider bite. Within hours, she remembers feeling nauseated, sore and exhausted, but chalked it up to having a busy vacation. Things became a bit foggy from there, she said. When she...

Paris climate summit: Carbon pledges to fall short of warming goal, Stern warns
2015-05-04 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: This year's Paris climate summit will leave the world on course for dangerous climate change unless nations offer much deeper carbon emissions cuts than already pledged or signalled, according to researchers including the UK's Lord Nicholas Stern. Based on commitments made by the European Union, the US and China which together account for almost half of global emissions the December summit will end limiting annual pollution to 55-57 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030, a study...
Current carbon pledges won't stop dangerous global warming, says Lord Stern

Guardian: The commitments made by world governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the next 15 years are not sufficient to stave off the worst effects of climate change, a new analysis by Lord Stern has found. The study by the author of an influential report on the economics of climate change found that countries pledges ahead of a crunch UN climate summit in Paris this December would not keep warming below 2C, the level that previous UN negotiations have agreed on. But Stern said he was still...

UN scientists warn time is running out to tackle global warming
2015-05-04 06:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Governments are running out of time to address climate change and to avoid the worst effects of rising temperatures, an influential UN panel warned yesterday. Greater energy efficiency, renewable electricity sources and new technology to dump carbon dioxide underground can all help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the experts said. But there could be as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more. The warning came in a report from the Intergovernmental...

Curbs greenhouse gas emissions won't prevent global warming 'danger limit' being reached
2015-05-04 01:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The planned curbs in greenhouse gas emissions by the nations of the world fall well short of what is required to avoid global average temperatures exceeding the danger limit of 2C this century, a report has warned. An analysis of the pledges made by countries attending the climate summit in Paris this December has found that the promised reductions as they stand will still exceed the amount of greenhouses gases widely considered to breach of the safe threshold, it says. The authors of the...
