Telegraph: The new assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that it is "extremely likely" humans have been the principal cause of warming since the 1950s. Without making "substantial and sustained reductions" of greenhouse gas emissions, the world can expect an increase of extreme weather including heatwaves and heavy rainfall. Three out of four future climate change scenarios, based on projected levels of gas and aerosol emissions, suggest that by the end of this century global...

Telegraph: Energy from the sun arrives as visible and ultraviolet light, which is absorbed by the Earth. Some of this energy is released from Earth again as heat. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap this heat and bounce it back towards the Earth's surface. Laboratory experiments show that carbon dioxide can absorb and then emit heat, while satellite observations reveal that the amount of heat being released into the atmosphere is changing. Some greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide,...

Climate Central: On Friday, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release a major portion of its latest tome updating the science of global climate change. The report, the group's fifth since it was created in 1988, is expected to contain few surprises. And it's that lack of surprises and new findings that may mark the end of business as usual for the Nobel Peace Prize-winning panel, which has been instrumental in raising the profile of the climate issue to the top of the international agenda....
