New York Times: The gathering risks of climate change are so profound they could stall or even reverse generations of progress against poverty and hunger if greenhouse gas emissions continue at a runaway pace, according to a major new United Nations report. Despite rising efforts in many countries to tackle the problem, the overall global situation is growing more acute as developing countries join the West in burning huge amounts of fossil fuels, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said here on Sunday....

Time running out to reach 2 C warming target: UN experts

Agence France-Presse: Time is running out to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the UN's climate experts warned Sunday, saying current carbon emissions were a potential path to disaster. Crowning a landmark review, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said emissions of three key greenhouse gases were at their highest since more than 800,000 years ago, when mammoths and mastodons roamed the earth. Earth, it warned, is on a likely trajectory for at least 4 C warming...

Guardian: Chris Rapley is used to confrontation and threatening situations. As one of Britains leading climate scientists, he has been uncompromising in taking on global warming sceptics in debate and, as a former director of the British Antarctic Survey, he knows a thing or two about physical danger. But now the 67-year-old is preparing to take on a role that will push his resolution and nerve to their limits. Rapley is to give a solo performance on Londons West End stage. His play, 2071, which opens...

UN climate change report to warn of 'severe, pervasive' effects of global warming

Telegraph: The world is on course to experience "severe and pervasive' negative impacts from climate change unless it takes rapid action to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, a major UN report is expected to warn on Sunday. Flooding, dangerous heatwaves, ill health and violent conflicts are among the likely risks if temperatures exceed 2C above pre-industrial levels, the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will say. Yet on current trends, continued burning of fossil fuels could...

Global warming will make our winters colder
2014-10-27 01:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Britain can expect twice as many severe winters as usual over the coming decades, according to a study supporting the counterintuitive idea that global warming could lead to colder weather in some parts of the world. Climate scientists believe they have found evidence to suggest that the loss of floating Arctic sea ice in the Barents and Kara seas north of Scandinavia can affect the global circulation of air currents and lead to bitterly cold winds blowing for extended periods in winter over Central...
