UK's Met Office to release records from land and ocean based temperature readings which proves 0.7 degree Celsius rise over the last 100 years to counter arguments raised by sceptics over the recent e-mail leak scandal.

September 2009 is 2nd Warmest On Record Since 1880.

September 2009 was the second warmest September on record for combined global land and ocean surface temperatures since records began in 1880, 2005 remains the hottest so far.

800,000 Journey Through Earth's Climate History

Take a journey through 800,000 years of climate change and judge for yourself whether the science is reliable or not... the graph and science behind it confirm without doubt that co2 levels are higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years, and the only consequence of this will be higher temps.

7 Days Until Copenhagen Conference

Only 7 days until more than 15,000 delegates and diplomats gather at the global warming meeting in Denmark to try and thrash out a deal to succeed the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012

Amazon Nations Require Rich to Preserve Rainforest

Nine nations from the Amazon region request that rich nations should pay for preservation of the Amazon forest, to prevent rainforest loss and consequently CO2 emissions. Brazil has already reduced rainforest destruction by 45% this year

2010 to be Hottest on Record

The UK Met Office says that 2010 is set to become the hottest on record, above that of 1998, which was boosted by a strong El Nino effect. The hottest years on record remain 1998, jointly with 2005.

Countries Emission Cuts Pledges

Various countries provide their emission cuts as Copenhagen approaches. USA agrees 17% cut from 1990 levels, but this only really equates to a 4% cut if calculated using "accepted" and other countries calculations!

Global Warming Science Alarming

Experts are becoming alarmed at the science now underpining climate change, following what they say, are clear patterns emerging in the world's weather systems, although no single weather event can be said to be caused by climate change per se.

World Heading For 6 Degree Temp Rise

Scientist's worst fears appear to becoming reality, as leading scientist's reveal that the planet is heading for a 6 degree Celsius rise by the end of the century. Such a rise, caused by positive feedback mechanisms as higher levels of greenhouse gases and CO2 trap more heat in, would cause a cataclysmic for all life on planet Earth.

Greenland Melt Accelerating

The rate of ice loss on the continent of Greenland is accelerating, adding to sea level increase. Evidence for this comes from NASA's Grace satellite, monitoring the situation. If Greenland lost all it's ice, sea levels would rise by a cataclysmic 7 metres globally.

Amazon Deforestation Down

Amazon rainforest deforestation drops by 45%, and is lowest on record, extremely good news as far as global warming is concerned, bearing in mind the amount of CO2 the Amazon absorbs through photosynthesis. Brazil is looking for an 80% reduction in deforestation by 2020.

UK Rules Out Deal At Copenhagen

With less than a month to go before the Copenhagen climate summit, most major powers are too far apart to agree any form of legally binding climate treaty. A further 50 billion tonnes of CO2 will be pumped into the atmosphere before the next major summit schedule for Mexico city in December 2010.

Nuclear Power Stations Fastracked

The UK government is to fastrack the building of many more nuclear power stations to obtain clean energy, in its bid to combat climate change.

No Snows of Kilimanjaro

Ice cores reveal that melting on the mountain is unprecedented in the last 12,000 years, and the ice cap could be gone within 20 years. The thining is even faster than when a 300-year drought took hold some 4,200 years ago.

Al Gore

Is accused of becoming the first carbon billionaire as he launches his follow up book to An Inconvenient Truth, Our Choice.

Study Reveals Meat Causes half of all Greenhouse Gases

A new study reveals that emissions caused by raising livestock are actually 51% not 18% as previously thought. This means that by reducing the amount of meat we all eat, could have a greater effect on global warming than trying to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources!

17 Tweaks to Limit Climate Change

If Americans made 17 simple tweaks to the way they led their lives, then they could cut greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of Frances total annual emissions, a study has found.

Climate Change Map Paints Bleak Picture

A new map reveals how global warming will affect the globe as temperatures are predicted to rise by as much as 4 degrees average by 2060. This translates to a possible 16 degree C rise in the Arctic. This means less water, more forest fires, total meting of the Arctic Summer Ice, and flooding of low lying levels ispredicted as sea levels rise. Click link to view map.

Arctic's Baffin Island Starts to Melt!

Baffin Island, the largest island in the Arctic Canadian Archipelago, reveals from it's sediment that it is undergoing a major warming trend, probably as a result of global warming.

As part of a 21,000-year cycle, ( Milankovitch Cycles ),the Arctic has been receiving less summertime energy from the Sun over the last 8,000 years because of a well-established "wobble" in the Earth's solar rotation – the Earth is now 0.6 million miles further away from the Sun during the Arctic summer than it some 2000 years ago. Despite this, the area is warming up, as proven from the sediment cores taken from the bottom of the lake. Further proof, that warming is in fact taking place at an unprecedented level.

Climate Change Protestors Arrested

80 protestors are arrested as they protest outside Nottinghamshire coal-fired power station.

World Must Act by 2014

UK prime minister gives his view on global warming, with only 50 days left to Copenhagen climate chaange conference. Unless a strict agreement on emissions is in place by 2014, it could be too later to stop runaway global warming, report reveals..

A-Z of Global Warming

Get all the information you need from the A-Z of Global Warming book, out now. From the Amazon, Biofuels, Carbon Dioxide, to the Weather, Hurricanes, Extinction and what You Can Do To Help...all chapters set out in unique A-Z format, explaining in layman's terms the essential facts about global warming and climate change.

Arctic Summer Ice Gone in a Decade?

Latest Arctic surveys suggest Arctic summer ice could be gone in a decade, certainly within twenty years as global warming caused by higher levels of greenhouse gases melts the sea ice. This will allow possible commercial shipping routes to open up along the fabled Northwest passage and the plunder of the Arctic's riches... eventually leading to more warming perhaps.

Nasa to conduct Antarctic survey

Nasa is about to conduct an extensive survey of Antartica which will reveal the true effects of global warming on the continent to determine how sea levels will be affected in the future......
