RTCC: The global mood on climate change is shifting, but theres little sign that the proposed 2015 agreement will be enough to avert dangerous levels of warming. Envoys from over 190 countries meet in Lima, Peru next week to continue work on efforts to slow greenhouse gas emissions, which the World Meteorological Organisation says are rising faster than ever before . They will arrive with warnings from leading scientists that nearly 1.5C of warming is already locked into the atmosphere, potentially...
Just how bad global warming is for world polar bear population
2014-11-27 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: As the erstwhile icon of climate change, polar bears have been a very political subject. Conservatives love to lambaste Al Gore over his claims about drowning polar bears in his 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth. The Department of the Interior even launched an investigation into a U.S. researcher who had authored a 2006 study describing several polar bear drownings (he later reached a $ 100,000 settlement with the agency). Meanwhile, politics aside, the habitat in which polar bears live -- the...

Bloomberg: Geoengineering, which includes spraying sea salt or sulphate aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, wont provide a magic bullet to combat climate change, a University of Oxford study shows. Its too soon to judge the costs and benefits of these concepts, Steve Rayner, the James Martin Professor of Science and Civilization at Oxford, said today in a statement issued jointly with the universities of Leeds and Bristol. The cost estimates for major projects are unrealistic, he said,...

India's coal rush threatens to make global warming irreversible

Brisbane Times: Decades of strip mining have left this town in the heart of India's coal fields a fiery moonscape, with mountains of black slag, sulfurous air and sickened residents. But rather than reclaim these hills or rethink their exploitation, the government is digging deeper in a coal rush that could push the world into irreversible climate change and make India's cities, already among the world's most polluted, even more unlivable, scientists say. "If India goes deeper and deeper into coal, we're all...

NY Gov. Cuomo AbstainsGlobal Warming 'Debate'
2014-11-26 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Capital New York: Governor Andrew Cuomo frequently sounds the alarm about the new normal of extreme weather. He's talked about it in the aftermath of Hurricanes Sandy, Irene and Lee as he toured flooded villages and destroyed homes and roads, and during last year's snowstorms and extended cold snap. But while he acknowledges changing weather patterns, which politicians on both sides of the aisle have done for years, he's always careful not to link those changes to human-caused global warming. Cuomo, thus far...
