Reuters: World powers are running out of time to slash their use of high-polluting fossil fuels and stay below agreed limits on global warming, a draft U.N. study to be approved this week shows. Government officials and top climate scientists will meet in Berlin from April 7-12 to review the 29-page draft that also estimates the needed shift to low-carbon energies would cost between two and six percent of world output by 2050. It says nations will have to impose drastic curbs on their still rising greenhouse...
Global warming could dry out a third of the Earth by 2100

Salon: Forget changing rain patterns - warmer temperatures alone could bring drought to a third of Earth`s land area by the end of the century. That`s the gist of a new study from Columbia University`s Earth Observatory: Hotter temperatures will mean more evaporation, drying out the soil and posing a significant risk to global agriculture and food security. Climate Central has the details: Climate models using the so-called business-as-usual greenhouse gas emissions scenario, which assumes no effort...
Early climate adapters show warming world how to cope

New Scientist: IT IS hard to prepare for a disaster, but harder still to prepare for a disaster that you can't identify. Yet that is the quandary facing many nations, which still don't know how climate change will affect them even though it is already happening. That means many communities must prepare for the unknown. We are running out of time to gather scientific evidence, says Koko Warner of the United Nations University (UNU) in Bonn, Germany. It is clear that climate change is happening, driven by human...

UN report on climate change rings alarm on warming polar regions

Toronto Star: The world is warming up and the impact of climate change is already being seen across the globe, an authoritative new UN climate report says. But in this part of the world, which is barely out of the clutches of a long and wicked winter, the report sounds like a conundrum. Make no mistake, the world is warming up, especially the Arctic, said John Stone, an IPCC lead author and adjunct professor at Carleton University. What we have experienced this winter is just weather, said Stone. It...

UN panel: Warming worsens food, hunger problems

Associated Press: Global warming makes feeding the world harder and more expensive, a United Nations scientific panel said. A warmer world will push food prices higher, trigger "hotspots of hunger" among the world's poorest people, and put the crunch on Western delights like fine wine and robust coffee, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in a 32-volume report issued Monday. "We're facing the specter of reduced yields in some of the key crops that feed humanity," panel chairman Rajendra Pachauri...
