Leaked IPCC drafts lift confidence in humans' carbon culpability

Reuters: Climate scientists are surer than ever that human activity is causing global warming, according to leaked drafts of a major UN report, but they are finding it harder than expected to predict the impact in specific regions in coming decades. The uncertainty is frustrating for government planners: the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the main guide for states weighing multi-billion-dollar shifts to renewable energy from fossil fuels, for coastal regions considering...

New IPCC Report: Climatologists More Certain Global Warming Is Caused By Humans

ClimateProgress: The Fifth - and hopefully final - Assessment Report (AR5) from the UN Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) is due next month. The leaks are already here: Drafts seen by Reuters of the study by the UN panel of experts, due to be published next month, say it is at least 95 percent likely that human activities chiefly the burning of fossil fuels are the main cause of warming since the 1950s. That is up from at least 90 percent in the last report in 2007, 66 percent in 2001, and...

IPCC chair Pachauri seeks cleantech help in climate battle

Yle: In 2007, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its Fourth Assessment Report. The report included work by thousands of specialists from around the world, synthesising findings from more than 6,000 scientific studies. It set off a wave of debate and shock over the apparent pace of global warming and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for the IPCC. Now the IPCC is drawing up its Fifth Assessment Report, which will again be co-edited by the IPCCs chair, Dr. Rajendra...

Leaked IPCC report doesn't let us off the hook

New Scientist: Can we all stop worrying about global warming? According to a recent rash of stories in the media, the "climate sensitivity" - the extent to which temperatures respond to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - is lower than expected, and thus that the world won't get as hot as predicted. One story, in The Economist, based on leaked information from a draft of the next assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, claims the IPCC will revise its sensitivity estimate downwards when...
Rising sea levels threaten big cities, IPCC chair says

Press Trust of India: Rising sea levels due to climate change are threatening the survival of big cities located near coastal areas like Kolkata, Shanghai and Dhaka, said Dr RK Pachauri, chairperson of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). "There is a very high risk in delta cities like Kolkata, Shanghai and Dhaka. They are very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to sea level rise and coastal flooding. Both people and property would be affected in such a scenario," Pachauri told reporters....
