Times of India: As a UN body - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - in its latest report has set an alarm bell ringing for the world to the looming threats of global warming, its chairman R K Pachauri wants the countries across the globe to look beyond "politics" while arriving at a universal climate deal. In an interview to Vishwa Mohan, he appeals to the world community to replace the north-south distinction by concern for "humanity at large". He also says nobody is going to be immune to the impacts...

Earth Island Journal: There are two things to keep in mind if you would know the climate future. The first is that, as scientific statesman John Holdren likes to say, it will come to us as a mixture of mitigation, adaptation, and suffering. The second is that the suffering will be disproportionally visited upon the poor and the innocent. Hold these thoughts when considering the massive tome just issued by the IPCCs Working Group II. (The much briefer Summary for Policymakers, or SPM, is here). Working Group II (or WG2...

Guardian: The release of the latest report (PDF) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is yet another sober warning on the perils humanity faces from global warming. The threats seem written from the dystopian blockbuster Hunger Games: global food-stocks are risk, melting sea ice, thawing permafrost, dying coral reefs, heat waves, mega-rains, and a death toll amongst the poor, weak and elderly. Except for one thing. The effects of climate change are happening now. As Graham Readfern writes,...
