...Greenpeace's Moglen said the low targets would "handcuff" the President in talks with European leaders who are considering the more ambitious IPCC goals. Free credits, he said, would free industry from its responsibility to clean...
...because it assumes a much higher sea-level rise than previous studies. The 1.4 m figure used in the Pacific Institute report - which comes from research by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography - is considerably higher than the estimates put forth in the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) most recent assessment in 2007, which projected a sea-level rise of 18 to 59 cm by 2100. But the IPCC numbers were based on older data and took into account only the thermal expansion of the seas. (Water expands as it heats, so warmer seas rise.) The IPCC...
...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...
