Carbon Emissions and Warming: First Direct Mathematical Link Identified
2014-12-02 18:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Most climatologists, ecologists, and even the World Bank have all reached a consensus that climate change is occurring. Experts and policymakers alike have attributed rising concentrations of carbon dioxide to net warming, but finding straightforward evidence of this can be difficult. Now, a team of researchers claims that they have identified, for the first time, how global warming is related to the amount of carbon emitted in a mathematical proof.

Emissions targets are biggest challenge for Lima climate talks

Guardian: As this years UN climate change conference opens in Lima, Peru, a series of unexpected political developments in recent months has created a mood of surprising optimism. But dark clouds remain. First came the UN Climate Summit in September, and the huge public mobilisation which accompanied it. With nearly 400,000 people marching on the streets of New York, and hundreds of thousands more in cities around the world, the assembled leaders were warned that climate change was no longer an issue they...

EU & US at odds over legally binding emissions targets

Guardian: The European Union (EU)s delegation at the climate change conference in Lima has argued that legally binding cuts applying to all countries are necessary and should be adopted by 2015 and entered into force by 2020. The EU is of the mind that legally binding mitigation targets are the only way to provide the necessary long-term signal, the necessary confidence to the investors ... and provide credibility in the low carbon transition worldwide, said Elina Bardram, head of the EU delegation at...

US sees voluntary emissions cuts key climate change accord

LA Times: The United States is championing a new international approach to cutting greenhouse gases that offers the best chance of prompting countries to take action to avert the worst effects of global warming, the nation's chief climate negotiator said Monday. The comments by the State Department's Todd Stern came as United Nations negotiations began in Peru to develop the framework for an international accord to curtail heat-trapping emissions and adapt to changes already occurring on the planet. The...

Research confirms how global warming links carbon emissions
2014-12-01 21:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Research has identified, for the first time, how global warming is related to the amount of carbon emitted. A team of researchers from the universities of Southampton, Bristol and Liverpool have derived the first theoretical equation to demonstrate that global warming is a direct result of the build-up of carbon emissions since the late 1800s when human-made carbon emissions began. The results are in accord with previous data from climate models. The theoretical equation reveals the complex...
