  9. Bill McKibben: The IPCC still underestimates the situation

    Bill McKibben writes that the IPCC’s latest assessment report on climate change is stern – but that it still underestimates the situation. “Breaking the power of the fossil fuel industry won’t be easy, especially since it has to happen fast. But, thanks to the IPCC, no one will ever be able to say they weren’t warned,” McKibben writes.

  11. UN report: 2013's extreme weather is consistent with climate change

    A new UN report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that many of the extreme weather events last year were consistent with human-caused climate change. The study also shows that there had been no 'pause' in global warming - disproving recent claims by climate deniers. 2013 is revealed as the sixth-hottest on record, meaning 13 of the 14 warmest years on record have occurred this century.

  13. Global CO2 emissions flatlined in 2014 while the economy grew

    New data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that global CO2 emissions stalled in 2014 while the economy grew. This marks the first time in four decades that the world economy grows while carbon emissions don't. The change is likely due to an increase in renewable energy.

  15. Syrian conflict likely fueled by climate change, study claims

    As the war in Syria enters its fifth year, a new study claims that the conflict in Syria was fuelled by global warming. A devastating drought, which lasted for three years before the start of the conflict, was made more severe due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The study claims that the drought was 2-3 times more likely because of climate change.

  19. IPCC: Climate efforts not sufficient, huge increase in green energy required to avert climate disaster

    The latest scientific report from IPCC concludes that current efforts to contain global warming are not sufficient to stop catastrophic climate change. To avert climate disaster, the world needs to urgently end its dependence on fossil fuels and switch to green energy. The study concludes that a global roll-out of clean energy is remarkably cheap – but only if we act now.

  20. Climate politics must be as radical as the climate crisis

    If the climate action movement allows its goals to be shaped by what is permissible in a capitalist economy then it has already failed, writes Simon Butler. "It’s wrong to think that we can campaign to stop climate change in the same way we might campaign to end a war. All the evidence says we are well past that stage now."

    Inaction on climate change will result in costly and deadly consequences for Europe. It's estimated that climate change could cost Europe more than €190 billion, be responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Europeans, and result in a net welfare loss of 1.8% of the union's current GDP.

  25. Wildfire is first of many more due to California drought

    Experts warn that as the historic drought continues to bash California, climate change will cause more frequent and vicious wildfires in in the state. "California water policy, water management, and infrastructure need to be changed: those systems were built in an old climate and the reality is, we're in a new climate," said Noah Diffenbaugh, a climatologist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
