Arctic climate modelling is too conservative
Climate models used by the UN's IPCC may be seriously underestimating Arctic temperature trends, with implications for global forecasts.Francis Sedgemore (Hesgen)
The figure is the cost of buying carbon credits to make up for failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with EU regulations, and making other compensatory payments for failing to meet EU renewable energy targets

Un estudi explica ara que les persones amb ingressos baixos dels països desenvolupats contribueixen menys a la crisi climàtica que les persones riques dels països en desenvolupament.
L'informe també diu que la diferència entre les emissions de carboni dels rics i dels pobres dintre d'un mateix país és més gran que les diferències d'emissions entre països rics i pobres.
En resum "un grup relativament petit" de persones riques de tota mena de països contribueix de manera desproporcionada a les emissions globals.
