Nature World News: The long-awaited report by the UN's climate panel was released Friday, citing a 95 percent certainty that humans are the "dominant cause" behind global warming since the 1950s. The report is considered the most comprehensive statement on the known drivers of climate change, and outlines evidence of the phenomenon throughout the globe, including the oceans and atmosphere. "Our assessment of the science finds that the atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amount of snow and ice has diminished,...

Postmedia: Environment Canadas most optimistic projections for climate change predict even faster warming of the atmosphere than the consensus view reached this week by an international panel assessing the latest scientific evidence. Reached by telephone in Sweden where he contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, senior Environment Canada scientist Greg Flato said that even in the best-case scenarios for limiting growth of heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, his federal...

IPCC Report: Strongest Case Yet for Human-Caused Global Warming
2013-09-28 15:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest report on the science of global warming squarely blames humans as the primary cause of climate change, saying it is "extremely likely" that human activities have caused most of the warming of the planet's surface that has occurred since the 1950s. The assessment, released today (Sept. 27), is the first major report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 2007, and presents the strongest case yet for human-caused global...

Canada: Need an elegant antidote to global warming? Look to B.C

Globe and Mail: The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released in Stockholm Friday, leaves almost no doubt that human activity can take the blame for the warming trend, even if the warming rate seems to be slowing. The conclusion came as no surprise. The 1996 IPCC report stated that the "balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate," and the updates since then have reinforced that stance. Once environment ministers and big industries...
Melting Arctic Permafrost Looms as Major Factor in Warming, Climate Change

Wunderground: A heavyweight boxer in the climate change match is missing from the fifth climate assessment report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on Friday. Permafrost, which is frozen ground that doesn't melt during the summer, covers 24 percent of the land in the northern hemisphere. It also stores approximately 1.5 trillion tons of carbon twice the amount of carbon currently in the atmosphere. When the organic matter that makes up permafrost thaws, the carbon it contains...
