Fragile climate talks begin in the wake of Trump’s trashing of Paris Climate Agreement

sudshr47 November 6, 2017

During a year of climate confrontation, the world has closed ranks around the Paris deal struck in 2015.

Momentum was “irreversible”, said a statement released by the German, French and Italian leaders in the hours after Donald Trump said he would leave or “renegotiate” the accord.

In the lead up to the annual U.N. talks in Bonn, which kick off on Monday, rhetoric from all nations has been uniform — confident, calm, defiant. Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel will attend the meeting in solidarity.

Major federal climate report rebuts everything Trump administration has said about climate change

sudshr47 November 3, 2017

Global warming is real. It’s happening because of human activities, and it’s on the cusp of pushing the climate toward tipping points or other “unforeseen consequences” that could reshape the planet as we know it, warns a new federal report released on Friday.

The report, part of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, is mandated by Congress, and has undergone extensive peer review by the National Academy of Sciences, various federal agencies, and the public. It’s the most up-to-date climate science report since the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s last report was issued in 2013, and it paints an increasingly dire picture of where the planet — and the U.S. in particular, is headed. Read more…

Earth to overshoot global warming targets, U.N. warns in blunt report

sudshr47 October 31, 2017

Nations around the world still aren’t doing nearly enough to limit greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, a new report warns.

While progress is being made, a new United Nations report says that collectively countries aren’t on track to contain global warming to the level set by leaders in the Paris Climate Agreement. We are currently on course to see between 3 and 3.2 degrees Celsius, or about 5.8 degrees Fahrenheit, of warming by the year 2100.

To put this another way, countries have only committed to about one-third of the emissions reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement’s temperature target, the report found. Read more…
