The Spectator has had
a go at adapting to the changing media climate by switching to the deniers new
‘adaptation’ meme. Will anyone notice the pivot? The evidence has been
carefully hidden away on the covers of their previous editions.

We know climate change is the biggest threat facing our
planet, which is why it is Greenpeace’s priority campaign across the world. Today’s
report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s highlights the
enormous impacts
and consequences climate change is having on our oceans. This must act as a
wake-up call for everyone who depends on, or cares about our oceans and the
vast array of life within them.
These are the most important messages from report - and they mean for our oceans.

Rich countries have paid only $67m into a UN fund designed to help the world's poorest countries adapt to climate change, according to a new report published today by develoment charity Oxfam. Although this may sound a lot, in fact it's less than what Americans spend on suntan lotion each month, and only a tiny fraction of the real amount needed. Oxfam estimates that the true cost of successful adaptation is likely to be at least $50 billion a year, and far more if global
greenhouse-gas emissions are not cut fast enough.

The head of the UN Environment Programme has warned that the biofuel market could crash if suitable environmental standards aren't established. According to the BBC, "Achim Steiner...
said there was an urgent need for standards to make sure rainforests
weren't being destroyed." The story also picked out Indonesia's tropical peatlands for special mention of what it terms "biofuel folly". (Nice phrase, I'll have to remember that one!)
Mind you, Steiner was making those comments in response to an independent group of scientists who criticsied the stance taken by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on biofuels, which was described as "naive".

Sometimes world-changing pronouncements aren’t delivered on stone tablets accompanied by thunder bolts, but in densely written reports, packed with charts, footnotes and appendices.

New report is final piece in jigsaw, now world leaders must act.
As the last of three ground-breaking climate change reports by leading UN scientists was published in Bangkok, Greenpeace today demanded that world leaders finally wake up to the scale of the climate crisis and act immediately to slash emissions.
"The final piece of the jigsaw in now in place and our leaders have no more excuses," said Charlie Kronick, Greenpeace UK's senior climate campaigner.
