Examiner: Republicans won't be happy about the leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) draft report on Monday, because it contains the most dire predictions about climate change to date, which is something they don't believe exists. The report is shocking in its bluntness, because it warns human-induced climate change may have already reached the tipping point and be past the point of no return and "irreversible". The IPCC report is the 4th installment of the 5th periodic climate progress...
White House report understates impact of climate change

Hill: The White House last week published an analysis by the Council of Economic Advisers which spells out the large economic costs of delaying action to tackle climate change. But the consequences of global warming could be much greater than the report suggests. It concludes that the price tag for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, which are the main driver of climate change, will increase by 40 percent if action is postponed for a decade. And the report points out that if the world misses its...

The cost of inaction--letting the temperature rise 3 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels instead of 2 degrees-- could increase economic damages by about 0.9 percent of global output. To put this percentage in perspective, 0.9 percent of estimated 2014 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is approximately...

White House climate change report: Act now, or pay later
2014-07-29 19:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: The longer the world waits to act on climate change, the more costly it will be to rein in the environmental impacts of releasing heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. That's the conclusion of a White House report on climate change released Tuesday. It comes on the same day the EPA begins public hearings on controversial power plant regulations that critics say will raise energy costs and do little to curb global warming. The timing of the Obama administration's report is not a coincidence....
