Guardian: The head of the UNs climate fund has hailed a paradigm shift as poor countries began receiving money to help them tackle global warming, weeks before climate talks take place in Paris. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is intended to be the major conduit for funding to flow from wealthy economies built on fossil fuels to those that will suffer most from climate change they did not cause. On Friday at its board meeting in Zambia, the fund released $183m (122m) for eight projects in Asia, Africa...

Agence France-Presse: The UN warned Friday that nations' carbon-cutting pledges go nowhere near far enough to prevent dangerous global warming, as political efforts gain speed three weeks before a Paris summit tasked with sealing a climate rescue pact. National pledges to curb greenhouse gas emissions -- if respected -- would yield only a third of the cuts needed by 2030 to keep Earth from overheating, according to a UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report. The voluntary targets "are not sufficient to limit global...

2015-11-05 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Extreme wildfire seasons have been afflicting drought-parched California in recent years, and new computer modeling indicates that the state will continue to become more susceptible to ruinous fires as the world continues to warm. But the scientists behind an ambitious new study, which combined historical fire records and data with projections for a warming world, say they couldn't directly connect climate change with last year's extreme season of conflagrations up and down the Golden State. ...

Report: 14 wild weather events last year goosed by warming

Associated Press: New scientific analysis shows the fingerprints of man-made climate change on 14 extreme weather events in 2014, hitting every continent but Antarctica. Dozens of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and across the world examined 28 strange weather conditions last year to see if global warming partly increased their likelihood or their strength. In a series of papers in a 180-page, peer-reviewed report, the scientists spotted some effects of climate change in half...
