U.N.: End Greenhouse Emissions By 2100 Or Risk 'Irreversible' Damage
2014-11-02 20:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: A new United Nations report is warning that fossil fuels must be entirely phased out by the end of the century in order to avoid dangerous and irreversible damage to the Earth's climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says the world faces "severe, pervasive and irreversible" consequences if greenhouse gas emissions are not cut to zero by 2100. Examples of "irreversible" change include a runaway melt of the Greenland ice cap that would trigger devastating sea-level rise...

Effects climate change irreversible, UN panel warns in report

Washington Post: The Earth is locked on an irreversible course of climatic disruption from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the impacts will only worsen unless nations agree to dramatic cuts in pollution, an international panel of climate scientists warned Sunday. The planet faces a future of extreme weather, rising sea levels and melting polar ice from soaring levels of carbon dioxide and other gases, the U.N. panel said. Only an unprecedented global effort to slash emissions within a...

UN climate change report: time running out to prevent 'dangerous, irreversible' impacts
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Time is running out to prevent "irreversible and dangerous impacts" of climate change, a major UN report has warned. The world is on course to experience "severe and pervasive' effects of global warming unless it urgently cuts its greenhouse gas emissions. Global emissions must fall by at least 40 per cent by 2050 and be cut to zero by the end of the century, the report from the UN's Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change warns. The longer government delay action on climate change, the more expensive...

Bloomberg: Humans are causing irreversible damage to the planet from burning fossil fuels, the biggest ever study of the available science concluded in a report designed to spur the fight against climate change. Theres a high risk of widespread harm from rising global temperatures, including floods, drought, extinction of species and ocean acidification, if the trend for increasing carbon emissions continues, a panel convened by a United Nations body said today in Copenhagen. Humans can avoid the worst if...

Planet headed toward irreversible climate damage, UN warns
2014-11-02 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: The globe is heading toward severe, pervasive, and irreversible climate change impacts if left unchecked, according to a new United Nations report. In its most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken, the U.N.s synthesis report released Sunday, finds that the evidence behind human influence on climate change is overwhelming and undeniable, as greenhouse gas emissions are the highest in history. The report, which over 800 scientists from 80 countries wrote, additionally drawing from 3,000...
