Economic Times: The latest report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has marshalled a mass of data, trends and analyses that unequivocally suggest warming of the climate system, albeit in the teeny decimal points of 0.85° C when globally averaged for the period 1880 to 2012. Now, in complex systems, small changes can add up to large effects. The Fifth Assessment Report does take note of extreme weather and climate events and global-scale changes in precipitation patterns witnessed in recent years,...

Latest IPCC climate report puts geoengineering in the spotlight

Nature: Attempts to counter global warming by modifying Earth's atmosphere have been thrust into the spotlight following last week's report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Mention of geoengineering in the report summary was brief, but it suggests that the controversial area is now firmly on the scientific agenda. Some climate models suggest that geoengineering may even be necessary to keep global temperature rises to below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels....

Yale Environment 360: Jennifer Francis, research professor at the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The just-released IPCC report summarizing progress in climate science over the past six years reaffirms the messages delivered in previous reports, but with more certainty, more urgency, more clarity, and more specificity. Bottom line: the Earth is warming and changing, and humans are causing it. In my view, the most noteworthy aspect of the report is the consistency of the trends...

Canada: IPCC report shows action on climate change is critical
2013-10-02 02:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Straight: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just released the first of four chapters of its Fifth Assessment Report. It shows scientists are more certain now than in 2007 when the Fourth Assessment was released that humans are largely responsible for global warming--mainly by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests--and that its getting worse and poses a serious threat to humanity. It contains hints of optimism, though, and shows addressing the problem creates opportunities. The IPCC...
