Guardian: The 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report states with 95 percent confidence that humans have caused most, and probably all of the rapid global warming over the past 60 years. Approximately 97 percent of climate experts and peer-reviewed climate science studies agree. There are of course open questions yet to be answered by climate scientists precisely how sensitive the climate is to the increased greenhouse effect, for example. But even in a best case, low sensitivity...

Thats the headline takeaway from the latest findings by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Global temperatures are the hottest since the last ice age and the planet is only getting warmer. What to make of this news? On one hand, its likely not much of a surprise to most of us. Extreme weather events like superstorm Sandy are becoming more commonplace. Glaciers are melting,...

This week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released part one of its scientific report in full. Among some of the most significant findings from a summary of the report released a few days ago are that humans are responsible for at least half of the warming experienced in recent decades. The report also predicts higher sea levels and further warming worldwide...

Guardian: While the world digests the IPCC's 5th assessment of our carbon emissions and changing climate, plans abound for an unprecedented coal export boom in Australia. In the remote, as yet untapped inland Galilee Basin region of central Queensland, the fuse is set to be lit on a carbon bomb. Nine huge open cut coalmines with lifespans of up to 90 years will produce a total of 330m tonnes of thermal coal each year, to be burnt in the power stations of India, China and any other country that still resorts...
