Time: As the data show, China is now burning almost as much coal as the rest of the world -- combined. And despite impressive support from Beijing for renewable energy and a dawning understanding about the dangers of air pollution, coal use in China is poised to continue rising, if slower than it has in recent years. That`s deadly for the Chinese people -- see the truly horrific air pollution in Beijing this past month -- and it`s dangerous for the rest of the world. Coal already accounts for 20% of global...

It covers much of the continent, and has proved astonishingly persistent. Periodically, low pressure systems spill the heat towards the coast, where most Australians live. At Christmas it was Perth. Then the heat struck Adelaide, followed by Tasmania, Victoria, and southern New South Wales and Canberra. Over this weekend, it's...
Australia: Climate confusion as bush burns

BBC: I don't know about you, but the recent row about Met Office climate predictions and a slowdown in global warming has left me shrugging my shoulders. Yes, obviously the science is important and the issue is critical to our survival as species etc etc, but arguments about experimental models and degrees of difference seem really far removed from the concerns and interests of many people. Except perhaps in Australia right now, where temperatures are quite literally heading off the chart. The ongoing...
