Blue and Green: Big business needs to ramp-up its board-level understanding of built environment issues, such as dealing with problems related to carbon targets, a new report has warned. The University College London-commissioned report The Built Environment: Profit Warning looks at how the world and businesses will need to adapt to an increasing population, which is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, whilst dealing with other challenges, such as climate change, energy security and shifts in demographics....

No option left but to suck CO2 out of air, says IPCC
2014-04-14 18:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: It is a beguiling idea: grow crops that suck carbon dioxide from the air, burn them to generate electricity, then bury the resulting CO2. The result? Less CO2 in the air, and less climate change. This idea's time has come. The new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, says "widespread" use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) will probably be needed to stop the world warming by 2 °C, the politically agreed danger...
Renewables, nuclear must triple to save climate, UN says

Bloomberg: The world needs to triple the energy it gets from renewables, nuclear reactors and power plants that use emissions-capture technology to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, United Nations scientists said. Investments needed to keep climate change within safe limits would shave a fraction of a percent off annual global growth, the UN said today in the third part of its most comprehensive study on warming. A delay in stemming rising greenhouse gases will cut chances to limit the global temperature...
Climate Change Adjustments Must Be Fast And Large, U.N. Panel Says

National Public Radio: A new report from the United Nations' panel on climate change says major action is needed, and fast, if policy makers want to limit global warming to acceptable levels. There's an international target to control climate change: keeping the global temperature rise to just two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels--that's 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now says it's technically possible to meet that goal. But doing so will require rapid, large-scale shifts...
World must turn from fossil fuels to cleaner energy to avoid climate disaster, panel says

Washington Post: The amount of global greenhouse gas emissions soared to "unprecedented levels' over the decade ending in 2010, the world's top climate scientists said Sunday, and now governments must act aggressively to lower emissions or face the most dangerous consequences of global warming. At a meeting in Berlin, the scientists released an authoritative report showing that emissions from human development increased more between 2000 and 2010 than each of the previous three decades. It is a clear sign, they...
