...used ModelE, designed by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and one of the models used to produce the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The model does an excellent job of simulating climate change that resulted from volcanic eruptions in the past. That gave us confidence. What's more, a group repeated the calculations for the Pakistan-India scenario with a different model at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the results almost exactly agreed. Their research showed how the smoke from the fires would open up holes in the ozone...
...bomber and shot to death at Stockwell Underground station. The tragic bungle came 15 days after terror attacks in the capital killed 52 people and the morning after a second, failed bombing attempt. The shooting has already been the subject of two reports by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which found some fault with the handling of the original operation and the response to it among top brass. A separate investigation concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge individual officers, but prosecutors launched a case against the Met for breaching health and safety laws. A court later found...
...London, those woes have been compounded by a series of squabbles and scandals. The Met's Assistant Commissioner, Andy Hayman, resigned last December after press stories about his expenses and his friendship with a member of the IPCC during the Stockwell investigation, all of which Hayman dismissed in a statement as "leaks and unfounded accusations...
...What makes these findings especially troubling, of course, is that the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that ocean-water temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5 degrees over the course of this century - and they may even go up a few degrees more. "If climate change really does result in a rise of 4 degrees, which is the maximum the IPCC predicts, and if species can't adapt in time or migrate, then in the most sensitive cases of TSD, we're looking at extinction," says Piferrer...
Barroso would be right - if this were 2000, and not 2008. But a year after the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid out an alarming case for drastic action, and a month after the U.S. Senate began serious debate on sharply cutting American carbon emissions, the G-8's fuzzy-minded statement falls far short of what's needed from the world. Despite pressure from major developing nations attending the summit (who argue that industrialized countries need to act first on global warming), the G-8 refused to set short-term emissions-cut targets...
