Global Warming Goal of 2 Degrees Dwindling
2014-09-22 20:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As our climate continues to change and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions keep climbing, scientists and world leaders alike fear that the chances of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius is dwindling fast. Now, climate officials have announced that it's highly unlikely we'll meet that goal due to the concentration of greenhouse gases. In an effort to track carbon emissions, the Global Carbon Project (GCP) published three peer-reviewed articles identifying the challenges for society to keep...

National Geographic: Behind all the fanfare around this week's UN Climate Summit, which will bring 120 heads of state to New York on Tuesday, looms one big question: Will the nations of the world agree on a path to avoid the most dangerous consequences of climate change, such as dramatic sea-level rise and extreme droughts and storms? The answer will not come during the official summit. This week's event is not a negotiating session for the next international agreement; that will happen in December 2015, when countries...

Similar demonstrations are planned across the United States and in 161 other countries. Two days later, that show of unity will most likely give way to political discord. The United Nations is convening on Tuesday the largest gathering of world leaders ever devoted to...
