"I can hardly believe my luck: to interview the greatest climate researcher of our times!" Hella Wittmeier writes in "Captain Climate – Talking to WALLY BROECKER Part I" for ClimateSnack.

A new report shows that global emissions of carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels will reach 9,8 gigaton carbon (GtC) in 2013, which is 61% above the emissions in 1990.

Uni Research starts up four new research projects next year. 


Time is short to reach the two-degree target. This will demand an ambitious transformation to a low emission world and preferably the world’s leaders will be able to negotiate a global climate treaty from 2015.

Norway is punching right on top of climate change research, in spite of its small population claims Andrew Watson, University of Exeter, when visiting the Bjerknes climate research community in Bergen.

The footprints of mankind are imprinting ever more on the climate, according to the Fifth Assessment Report from the IPCC.
