Guardian: Tony Abbott's top business adviser has accused the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of "dishonesty and deceit' as it focuses on "exploiting the masses and extracting more money' in a climate crusade. Maurice Newman, chairman of the prime minister's new Business Advisory Council, used an interview with the Australian newspaper to launch a strongly worded attack on the global body that provides advice to governments on the body of scientific findings about climate change. Newman also...

Your questions about the new IPCC climate change report answered

Ars Technica: Ars asked for your questions about the recently released final draft of the first section of the new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, and you delivered. A number of the questions were about the climate change impacts and mitigation sections that have not yet been released, but well certainly keep those topics in mind when that information comes out next spring. There are also a few questions related to complex topics that we plan to cover in more detail soon. All that...

Experts say the IPCC underestimated future sea level rise

Guardian: A new study surveys 90 sea level rise experts, who say sea level rise this century will exceed IPCC projections Share Tweet this Email Sea level rise over the next century depends on future greenhouse gas emissions. Photograph: Jon M Fletcher/AP It looks like past IPCC predictions of sea level rise were too conservative; things are worse than we thought. That is the takeaway message from a new study out in Quaternary Science Reviews and from updates to the IPCC report itself. The new study, which...
Study Rebuts IPCC, Calls For More Severe Emissions Cuts
2013-12-04 00:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The globally agreed upon political goal of limiting global warming to 3.6°F (2°C) above preindustrial levels would bring "potentially disastrous impacts,' and a far more ambitious plan to slash emissions of global warming gases is needed, according to a new study by an interdisciplinary group of scientists and economists. The study, published Tuesday in PLOS One, amounts to a rebuttal of a key finding from a recent U.N. climate report, that laid out a cumulative "carbon budget' for the world to...
Warsaw Talks Ignore IPCC Carbon Budget Approach
2013-11-21 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The idea of a finite "carbon budget' -- a key part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent assessment of climate change -- have been ignored at the ongoing climate talks in Warsaw, which end on Friday, in favor of what some scientists say are piecemeal emissions cuts that are less likely to solve the problem. By framing the issue in terms of a carbon budget based around cumulative emissions, the IPCC's most recent report showed that it doesn't necessarily matter what short-term...
