Daniel Cressey; cross-posted from The Great Beyond The ice sheet covering east Antarctica may have been melting since 2006, according to new research, contradicting previous suggestions that it has remained stable or even grown in mass. Using measurements for 2002 to 2009 from a twin pair of satellites, researchers at the University of …

Everyone's talking about the CRU data hack. Quirin Schiermeier reports on Nature News: One of Britain's leading climate-research centres has had more than 1,000 files stolen from its computers and republished on the Internet. The cyber-attack is apparently aimed at damaging the reputations of prominent climate scientists. The full story is here: …

Keith Kloor While many are feeling pessimistic about the prospects for a deal at Copenhagen, Geoffrey Lean at Grist believes the big climate summit still has a pulse. He reports that ?environment ministers from 40 key countries?assembled this week for a two-day preparatory meeting in Copenhagen?made good progress towards a political …

Olive Heffernan This week's Nature [subscription required] is the third in a series of special issues celebrating the life of Charles Darwin. It focuses on the dire challenges to Earth's biodiversity ? and finds some reason for hope. Among the numerous biodiversity-related contributions is an opinion piece by Will Turner of Conservation …

Daniel Cressey; cross-posted from The Great Beyond The world?s carbon dioxide ?sinks? are not able to keep up with the amount of the greenhouse gas being produced, according to a paper published in Nature Geoscience. Reviewing the recent literature Corinne Le Quéré, of the University of East Anglia, and colleagues report that between …

Keith Kloor After world leaders announced over the weekend that no legally binding global warming treaty would be reached at the upcoming Copenhagen summit, the post mortems have started coming in fast and furious. Christian Schwägerl in Der Spiegel writes: ?The U.S. is quite happy to see itself as the leader of …

Olive Heffernan I've just returned from a two-day visit to the UK Met Office, where scientists are gathered this week to present and discuss the results of a five-year research initiative known as Ensembles. An EU-funded project led by the Met Office Hadley Centre, Ensembles brought together 66 research international institutes with …

Keith Kloor The U.S. Congressional climate bill will be tabled until next year, reports The Wall Street Journal. Says Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus: "It's common understanding that climate-change legislation will not be brought up on the Senate floor and pass the Senate this year." Just how important is the U.S. climate bill …

Quirin Schiermeier Rising temperatures cause melting and retreat of large ice sheets, sea ice, and mountain glaciers ? that?s pretty much common knowledge by now, as are implications on sea level, ecosystems, water supply and natural hazard risk. But a couple of news stories this week may cause confusion. That the Greenland ice …

Keith Kloor Passing climate legislation through the US Senate may be tricky, but that hasn?t scared off the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from doing its part. As Stephen Power at the WSJ?s Environmental Capitol notes: ?Congress might be a long way from passing legislation to fight climate change, but the Obama administration …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from The Great Beyond International delegates to the Montreal Protocol wrapped up their meeting in Port Ghalib, Egypt, over the weekend without taking formal action to curb hydrofluorocarbons, modern refrigerants that are also poised to become a major contributor to global warming. Some 41 countries joined in a …

Australia?s national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has denied claims that it prevents researchers from publishing work on politically-sensitive issues such as climate change, reports Nature News [subscription]. An ecological economist at the agency, Clive Spash, had a paper accepted for publication in the journal New …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from In the Field Things are winding down here in Barcelona. The latest negotiating text is out, and everybody is waiting for the final plenary session. Negotiators seem to have coalesced on what needs to come out of Copenhagen, as opposed to what many would like to see. The …

Keith Kloor All hope for Copenhagen seems lost. According to The Times: ?A world treaty on climate change will be delayed by up to a year and is likely to be watered down because countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions are refusing to commit to legally binding reductions.? So if Copenhagen …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from In the Field The European Commission's chief negotiator, Artur Runge-Metzger, acknowledged this afternoon that Europe might have to settle for a political agreement rather than a binding legal treaty in Copenhagen (see my post this morning for a quick discussion of the issue). Everybody else has been talking …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from In the Field And now I'll take a look at the major developing countries, as promised both yesterday and today. A new analysis of climate commitments by the six biggest emerging economies - Brazil, China, India, South Africa, Mexico and South Korea - suggests that their cumulative emissions …

I?m sitting in the plenary session of the Kyoto Protocol, listening to an old debate over the baseline year used to assess emissions. The protocol is currently tied to 1990 emissions, but Japan, Australia and Canada have all suggested that expressing emissions reductions according to multiple baselines might be useful. The …

Anjali Nayar, an International Development Research Centre fellow at Nature, recently visited a pioneering project in Madagascar that's aiming to protect one of the country's few remaining forests. About 90% of the species in Madagascar's rainforests are found nowhere else on Earth, but efforts to save the island nation's forests are …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from In the Field I arrived at the conference this morning only to encounter global leaders with unusually large heads pulling funny money out of one box labelled "aid" and putting it into another labelled "climate change." It was a short stunt by Oxfam - and just one of …

Jeff Tollefson; cross-posted from In the Field And now back to the case of the missing 10-word phrase, which says that any payments for reduced deforestation should include "safeguards against the conversion of natural forests to forest plantations." Just for amusement, here's the gist in UN climate speak: It was in "Non-paper …
