Reuters: The study, drawing on the work of more than 1,000 experts, said a shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy such as wind, solar or nuclear power was affordable and would shave only about 0.06 percentage point a year off world economic growth. "We have a window of opportunity for the next decade, and maximum the next two decades" to act at moderate costs, said Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of a Berlin meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). "I'm not saying it's costless....
To slow warming, no more 'business as usual,' UN experts say

CNN: Keeping global warming down to a level people can live with means cutting carbon emissions to "near zero" by the end of the century, even in an increasingly industrialized world, the top U.N. experts on the issue concluded Sunday. That may be doable, but it will take "substantial investments" in everything from planting more trees to replacing fossil fuels with low-carbon power sources like solar and nuclear energy, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announced in its latest report....
UN Climate Report Charts Ways to Halt Global Warming

National Geographic: Just a few decades remain to halt global warming and head off its most catastrophic effects, says a new United Nations report that offers a sweeping menu of climate change fixes that would require global cooperation to implement. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) mitigation report, released Sunday in Berlin, explores some 1,200 steps to avert the worsening effects of global warming by 2100. The proposals range from planting more trees to relying much more on nuclear power. elated:...

Court: Carbon monoxide standards not needed to stop global warming
2014-04-12 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not required to adopt carbon monoxide standards to mitigate global warming, and that its current standards are sufficient to protect public health. Environmental groups had challenged the EPA's 2011 decision that it does not have to adopt carbon monoxide secondary standards meant to protect the environment and that its existing primary standards meant to protect health are sufficient. The U.S. Court of...

Study: Little chance that global warming is natural
2014-04-12 04:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: A new statistical analysis of temperature records dating back to 1500 suggests it`s more than 99 percent certain that the past century of global warming is caused by the emission of heat-trapping, industrial-age greenhouse gases. The study was published online April 6 in the journal Climate Dynamics. In a press release, the McGill University researchers said the study doesn`t use complex computer models to estimate the effects of greenhouse-gas emissions. Instead, it examines historical data to...
