The 2015 will, almost certainly, to 97%, the warmest year ever recorded for 136 years. Last August was the warmest ever since we have availability of data and the same record was scored in the first eight months of this year. To say it is the US federal agency for Meteorology (NOAA). In August, the thermometers worldwide were 0.88 degrees Celsius above the average of the twentieth century. Until today 6 months at 8, in 2015, were record, with the sole exception of January and April. On land temperatures were on average higher than 1.14 degrees, with the heat wave affected a large part of South America and parts of Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia. The surface temperatures of the oceans showed +0.78 degrees. Looking to the summer, the mercury between June and August reported 0.85 degrees higher in the globe. In January-August, however, the increase compared to the average of the last century was of +0.84 degrees. Among the ten largest monthly deviations from the mean of the thermometer, in the last 1628 months from 1880 to date, there have been five in 2015, continues the NOAA. On the first place there are February and March this year, with +0.89 degrees, while August is just past the third place tied with January 2007.
EU agreement Global includes cutting 50% CO2 for 2050; almost zero emissions in 2100
The European Union will go to the UN climate conference in Paris to cash a global agreement that includes the peak emissions by 2020 “at the latest”, a cut of 50% by 2050 compared to 1990 and almost zero emissions by 2100. This battle plan developed by the environment ministers of the 28 today in Brussels. The EU in Paris will fight for “a dynamic mechanism to review” every five years. “For the first time the EU reflects the purpose of stay within the threshold of two degrees of global warming to investors and businesses,” said Environment Minister Luxembourg, Carole Dieschbourg, for the EU presidency. “The EU will not sign any agreement,” said the European Commissioner for climate, Miguel Arias Canete, who recalled that at the present time “we already know that current contributions (emission reduction, editor’s note) will not be enough: why we will take stock of the situation at an ad hoc conference in Rabat, Morocco, in October. ” For now, “we have the commitments of 62 countries, covering almost 70% of global emissions,” Canete said. The EU will strive then to Paris for “a dynamic mechanism to review” every five years, in which each country will give an account of what had been achieved, will reduce their commitments, but when submitting! New. “Without this mechanism, the system will not be credible,” said the European Commissioner for climate. In terms of funding for activities to mitigate and adapt “Europe is ready to do its part and we will be able to give a first indication in November,” concluded Canete.
Environmentalists, location EU still too weak
The European Union’s position ahead of the UN climate conference in Paris is “still far” from what is necessary to reach an effective global agreement. This commentary by Jiri Jerabek Greenpeace, after the meeting of environment ministers of the 28 today in Brussels. A point of view that is shared by other organizations such as the Climate Action Network Europe (CAN) and WWF. According Jerabek “Europe can do more to accelerate the transition towards an energy system based on renewables and commit to eliminate fossil fuels at home.” The next step should be in Paris to present “a united front for the gradual ban of fossil fuels by 2050″. For Wendel Trio, director of Can, “the negotiating position includes ‘dark areas’ that undermine the EU leadership in the negotiations”. Those who lack second Trio are “details” on how to increase the fight against climate change and further measures for 2020. “Europe can not afford to plan a weak result in Paris” bolus Deladrière Genevieve Pons, director of ‘ WWF’s EU office. “The increase of the same target on the European climate and adequate levels of funding will be crucial points to be clarified in the coming months,” added Pons, recalling that “Paris will be judged on the basis of actions, not words.”
WWF, 2015 is warmest year also act
“The data from the NOAA predict that 2015 will be the warmest year, we also hope to act.” WWF says so with an eye to the UN climate conference to be held in Paris later this year, data released by the US for the atmosphere and the oceans (NOAA), that there is 97% chance that this year is the warmest on record since 1880. “The 2015 represents a ‘watershed’ in the history of the climate not only for the data records of fever of the planet, but also for the opportunity we have to agree on a new climate agreement in December,” said the WWF. “This long sequence of temperature records should be a warning to leaders around the world to have the courage to ‘change the climate change’. If we cut drastically greenhouse gases – warned the environmental organization – we deal with an unpredictable climate, unrecognizable and devastating to natural systems and all mankind “.
Greenpeace, quick stop coal to 100% renewable
” A quick abandonment of ‘ use of coal and the development of a European energy system which, in 2050, points out of 100% renewable energy for all, with the fundamental contribution of energy efficiency ”. This inquiry launched by Greenpeace demonstration at the meeting of EU environment ministers in Brussels, where they discussed the position to be taken to the UN climate conference to be held in Paris in December. ” The European Union – adds the association – aims to cut emissions by 2030 by at least 40% compared to 1990 levels ”. ” The position of the EU is still far from what is used to be able to achieve an effective global agreement – said Luca Iacoboni, climate and energy campaign manager of Greenpeace Italy – Europe can and must do more to speed up the transition Energy towards a system based entirely on renewables, while pledging to abandon the use of fossil fuels. In Paris we will need a united front that supports the output from the fossil globally by 2050 ”.
