BBC: The unrestricted use of fossil fuels should be phased out by 2100 if the world is to avoid dangerous climate change, a UN-backed expert panel says. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says in a stark report that most of the world's electricity can - and must - be produced from low-carbon sources by 2050. If not, the world faces "severe, pervasive and irreversible" damage. The UN said inaction would cost "much more" than taking the necessary action. The IPCC's Synthesis Report...

BBC: IPCC scientists and government officials meeting here in Copenhagen are likely to work late into the night to deal with some very heavy questions.

In those quiet corners they will huddle to answer philosophical challenges such as "How long is ever?" - posed by the US in a response to one part of the Synthesis draft report. One or two are likely to look over their shoulders this chilly Halloween,...

The Synthesis Report, released today at a meeting in Copenhagen, caps work on the fifth assessment of climate science and mitigation that the IPCC has completed since 1990. The report demonstrates...

Economic Times: Levels of three key greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide - are the highest in at least 800,000 years, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC) said Sunday in the final chapter of a landmark report. From 1880-2012, the global average surface temperature rose by 0.85 degrees Celsius (1.5 degrees Fahrenheit), while the global mean sea level rose by 19 centimetres (7.6 inches) from 1901-2010, it said.
