IPCC report more certain about global warming

SciDevNet: Development experts and scientists have reacted cautiously to leaked versions of the first part of the fifth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which deals with the physical science of climate change and will be released in Stockholm, Sweden, on Monday (30 September). They say the report has confirmed climate change with greater certainty, but has shed no fresh insights, and it is unclear to what extent it will persuade national governments to reduce emissions...

Lull in warming doesn't mean we're safe

New Scientist: Humanity's role in driving climate change is more certain than ever before, but the most extreme scenarios of future warming are looking less likely than a few years ago. This is the upshot of the latest scientific assessment from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published today. Its authors say they have greater confidence than ever that most of the warming of the past 60 years is down to human activity. They are now 95 per cent certain of that - up from 90 per cent...
Global warming takes back seat in Wisconsin

Journal Sentinel: Only a few years ago, fighting global warming was a front burner topic among state policy makers. But the issue has been largely ignored in Wisconsin since 2010 with the collapse of legislation that would have required a big shift to renewable power. That's unlikely to change any time soon -- even though the topic will be revisited in a new report Friday. The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, United Nations-sponsored organization, is the first analysis from the international...
UN report: Humans are dominant cause of global warming

Hill: A United Nations climate science panel has concluded theres at least a 95 percent chance human activities are the main driver of global warming over the last six decades. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia, states Fridays report from the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in...

Can dams help buffer global warming impacts?

Summit County: For all the environmental mayhem they`ve caused in the past, dams may help buffer some aquatic ecosystems from future global warming impacts, according to a new study from Oregon State University. Specifically, the researchers said dams could provide ecological and engineering resilience to climate change in the Columbia River basin. The dams are doing what they are supposed to do, which is to use engineering and management to buffer us from climate variability and climate warming,...
