IPCC clears North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom over dead biker c
2007-11-13 11:26:00 The Independent Police Complaints Comission (IPCC) has cleared North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom of any wrongdoing in an investigation into the display of a decapitated motorcyclist at the launch of a road safety campaign - without the consent of the biker's family. "The IPCC independent investigation has found no evidence that the Chief Constable contravened Criminal Law or breached the Police Code of Conduct." Although the investigation has ruled out any legal complaint, it does go on to look at the situation in which the the complaint arose: "The IPCC has recommended that the North Wales Police Force and its management, under the leadership of the Chief Constable, examine the issues arising from this incident and strengthen, where appropriate, the existing internal arrangements for events requiring the co-operation and involvement of the media. It has also recommended that the North Wales Police Authority, in line with its duties of public accountability, examine ...

PESKY POLES: THE IPCC SPEAKS
2007-11-05 03:43:00 If the arctic is warming and the antarctic is not, it’s hardly GLOBAL warming is it? The IPCC report on the subject has now apparently passed political vetting and a summary of it is below. The article notes the difference between the two poles but does not really try to explain it. But the difference is no great mystery. It is arctic sea-ice that has receded a bit recently. The land-based ice on Greenland appears to be stable or growing, just like the antarctic ice, which is also mostly land-based. So how come THAT difference — between different parts of the arctic? Easy. Right underneath the sea-ice is the Gakkel ridge, which is showing a high rate of vulcanism at the moment. If you had a volcano under you, you would melt too. : The Antarctic will be spared the worst of global warming and its ice mass could even grow, but the Arctic will be devastated by rising temperatures, a major new scientific report will claim. In contrast to earlier fears that ice around the Sout...

News covered previously: Global Warming Effects and ways of informing Society is supported and enforced by the factual evidence. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are the joint winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The reason to which is increased interest and efforts to solve the problem of Global Warming by informing and educating society emphasizing the seriousness and importance of the problem resolution.The committee says: "Al Gore has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians. His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of ...

IPCC - World Has 8 Years To Act To Save Itself From Global Warming, www.r10
2007-10-14 11:15:00 www.r10.net kuresel isinmaya hayir seo yarismasiToday the IPCC released its 4th installment of its report on global warming. It has found that only .12 percent of world GDP would be needed to stave off the harmful effects of climate change. Echoing the Stern Report it shows that the only thing we should be afraid of is doing nothing. The report focused on economic changes that need to be made, pointing out that emissions must start declining by the year 2015 to prevent the world?s temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrialized temperatures.

Biofuels Will Not Solve Global Warming: IPCC's Report Sparks Protest
2007-05-07 19:00:00 Last week's release of the IPCC's Summary for Policymakers on climate change mitigation sparked backlash from several environmental groups. In a joint press release, Biofuelwatch, Global Forest Coalition, Global Justice Ecology Project, and several others stated they are "deeply concerned" about the inclusion of "large-scale expansion of biofuels from monoculture", including Genetically Modified (GM) crops, as a specific recommendation for mitigating catastrophic climate change. According to the statement, the indisputable need for drastic greenhouse gas emissions reductions should not hinge upon wider implementation of biofuels that contribute to deforestation and compete so readily with the world's food supply: [M]onoculture expansion is a driving force behind the destruction of rainforests and other carbon sinks and reservoirs, thus accelerating climate change. . .[It] is a major threat to the livelihoods and food sovereignty of communities ma...

Environmental Community Responds to IPCC Report on Global Warming
2007-05-05 00:46:00 As Maria reported this morning, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did release the findings of Working Group III today, which focuses on the steps the global community must take to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. On one hand, the report was hopeful: we can lessen the effects of global warming with quick, substantive, mandatory action by the world's governments. Furthermore, the costs of such actions would be relatively low, and much of the technology needed already exists. On the other hand, the report does recommend the use of advanced nuclear power (let the arguments on this one begin!), and carbon capture and storage, which is not a fully developed technology. We've gathered some of the responses to today's report, and provided excerpts below. Please let us know about others in the comments. Environmental Defense: ?We have a window of opportunity, but it won't stay open forever,? said Steve Cochran, national climate campaign director at...

IPCC issues plan for global climate change
2007-05-05 00:24:00 In Thailand today, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) held a press conference to announce its Fourth Assessment Report which gathers together the research, opinions and prognosis of 2,000 scientists around the world. According to MSNBC, "the report said the world has to make significant cuts in emissions through increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and vehicles, shifting from fossil fuels to renewable fuels, and reforming both the forestry and farming sectors."According to MSNBC, the report warned:The document made clear that nations have the technology and money to decisively act in time to avoid a sharp rise in temperatures that scientists say would wipe out species, raise ocean levels, wreak economic havoc and trigger droughts in some places and flooding in others.Under the most stringent scenario, the report said the world must stabilize the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by 2015 ? eight years from now ? at 445 parts per million to keep g...
IPCC Report: Solving Global Warming is Cheap
2007-05-04 23:23:00 Which scenario would you prefer - a global economy with an annual growth rate of 4.9% per year that is plunging the world into catastrophic global warming? Or, enjoying a healthy world economy with an annual growth rate of 4.78% and averting a climate catastrophe?Those are the two options that were delivered to world leaders today in Bangkok as the UN's International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the results of its third report of 2007. Their first report showed that global warming is occurring and that human's are the primary cause. The second demonstrated the catastrophic impacts of unchecked global warming on the world. Now, in their third report, the IPCC's panel of scientists and economists offers the solutions to this problem.Keeping the global rise in average temperature to about 2C, the most radical and expensive scenario addressed here, would shave about 0.12% off the average annual GDP growth rate.For comparison, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projec...
IPCC to Release Global Warming Mitigation Report Today
2007-05-04 14:41:00 Today the fourth and final assessment from the United Nations? Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ?Mitigation of Climate Change,? will be released. More than 400 scientists and experts from 120 countries are in Bangkok, Thailand this week to finalize the report. The summary of Mitigation of Climate Change will be posted here; go here for a live webcast around 1PM local time. The full report will be released in September. The report will lay out ways to cut global warming emissions and prevent the worst impacts without seriously hurting the global economy. In fact, it is expected to show that the cost of doing nothing is far higher than the cost of taking action now. On Wednesday, the Taipei Times reported that talks were stalled by China, India, and Brazil, who insisted that industrialized nations take more responsibility for their pollution contribution. The stalemate took up other time meant for discussion on how to best tackle global warming. One European delega...

Mitigate and Adapt: The IPCC Global Warming Report
2007-04-07 16:08:00 Yesterday the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its second report of the year on global warming. Back in February, the IPCC explained the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. This time, we learn the impacts. For increases in global mean temperature of less than 1-3 degrees Celsius above 1990 levels, impacts may produce benefits in some places and some sectors, and produce costs in other places and sectors. However, some low latitude and polar regions of the world will see net costs rise even with only small increases in temperature. Once the average temperature increases more than 2-3 degrees Celsius in any region, however, it is ?very likely? that we wil see declining benefits and instead see an increase in net costs. The Summary for Policymakers of the Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability reports the projected effects of climate change: Costs and benefits of climate change for industry, settlement, and society will vary widely by locatio...

An IPCC primer
2007-01-30 10:13:02 Global warming is going to be a big news story this week as we approach the Friday release of a UN report on climate change. This would be a good time to pause for a review of some of the basics around the story.The report is the product of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)?an organization made up of thousands of climate change scientists from around the world. The IPCC was formed by the UN nearly twenty years ago and periodically releases a comprehensive report on what is known and not known about climate change. The last came out in 2001 and the report that will officially be released this week in Paris will be their fourth since the panel?s inception. The report undergoes several drafts and line-by-line vetting by hundreds of scientists in what I can only imagine must be an exhaustive and sometimes frustrating process. The final report must be given unanimous approval from all of the 154 countries that are represented on the panel. It is this process which giv...
