UXBRIDGE, Canada, Oct 9 (IPS) 
The prospect of a four-degree Celsius rise in global average temperatures in 50 years is alarming &#8211; but not alarmist, climate scientists now believe.
Eighteen months ago, no one dared imagine humanity pushing the climate beyond an additional two degrees C of heating, but rising carbon emissions and inability [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stephenleahy.net&blog=466880&post=2299&subd=stephenleahy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Climate change and the resulting need for low-carbon energy sources is driving the current interest in nuclear energy despite the industry&#8217;s near universal legacy of staggering cost-overruns, technical difficulties and dependence on enormous government subsidies.

Analysis by Stephen Leahy
BERLIN, Jul 13 (IPS)
The G8&#8217;s failure to make meaningful commitments on climate last week pushes the world ever closer to global climate catastrophe, experts warn. Without commitments to take action, there is little comfort in G8 countries&#8217; agreement to keep overall global warming below 2.0 degrees Celsius.
