Reuters: People around the world are feeling the "wrath of a warming planet", U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday, urging almost 200 governments to take tougher action to reach a deal in 2015 on fighting global warming. Ban told environment ministers at climate talks in Warsaw they had a steep climb ahead to agree to cut rising greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say fuel more extreme weather. The Warsaw talks are struggling to lay the foundations for a new global accord, meant to...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A senior lecturer in environmental studies at the University of Newcastle says there is a link between a warming climate and extreme weather events. Dr Liam Phelan addressed a gathering in Newcastle yesterday as part of National Climate Action Day. He says while recent bushfires across NSW and the typhoon in the Philippines are not solely caused by climate change, the occurrence of such events is more likely with warming conditions. Dr Phelan says all extreme weather events are affected...

Independent: It was the evidence that climate change sceptics loved to cite. While the scientific communitys warnings about global warming had become ever more convincing, the critics pointed time and again to graphs showing the rise in the worlds average surface temperatures has slowed down since 1998 a fact extensively interpreted by many vocal opponents as a fundamental failure in the basic science of climate change. Now the scientists appear to have come up with an explanation. That much-vaunted pause...

Exposed: The myth of global warming 'pause'
2013-11-17 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Scientists can now explain the pause in global warming that sceptics have used to bolster their arguments. Sceptics had claimed we have nothing to fear from climate change because it has stopped being a problem. A new study has found that global temperatures have not flat-lined over the past 15 years, as weather station records have been suggesting, but have in fact continued to rise as fast as previous decades, during which we have seen an unprecedented acceleration in global warming. The...
