Guardian: Governments are running out of time to address climate change and to avoid the worst effects of rising temperatures, an influential UN panel warned yesterday. Greater energy efficiency, renewable electricity sources and new technology to dump carbon dioxide underground can all help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the experts said. But there could be as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more. The warning came in a report from the Intergovernmental...

Global emissions must fall by at least 40 per cent by 2050 and be cut to zero by the end of the century, the report from the UN's Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change warns.

Agence France-Presse: Time is running out to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the UN's climate experts warned Sunday, saying current carbon emissions were a potential path to disaster.

Earth, it warned, is on a likely trajectory for at least 4 C warming...
