*ClimateCentral.org These Are the 10 Most Important Climate Stories of 
2016 *
http://www.climatecentral.org/news/most-important-climate-change-stories-2016-21007

     10.  The world struck an airline carbon pollution deal
     9.  An extremely potent greenhouse gas is also on its way out
     8.  July was the hottest month ever recorded. Then August tied it
     7.  Arctic sea ice got weird. Really weird
     6.  Divestment and clean energy investments each hit a record
     5.  The Great Barrier Reef was decimated by warm waters
     4.  The world breached the 1.5°C climate threshold
     3.  Carbon dioxide hit 400 ppm. Permanently
     2.  The Paris Agreement got real
     1 . It was the hottest year on record. Again.
     Of course, that was the biggest story in 2014. And 2015 for that
     matter. This year marks the third year in a row of record-setting
     heat, an unprecedented run. It’s a reminder that we’ve entered a new
     era, where our actions have changed the world we call home. We also
     have the ability to decide what comes next.

     Of course, there have always been extreme weather events. But the
     probability of these extremes is higher now, due to climate change.
     And the frequency, intensity, timing or duration of these events is
     having a bigger impact on society. Some of the fastest-changing
     parts of the planet, such as the Arctic, are highly likely to endure
     increased warm extremes due to climate change, and as more ice
     melts, more sunlight gets absorbed, amplifying the changes...

*COP28: Talk Green, Play Dirty - Patrick Bond*
theAnalysis-news
Dec 29, 2023  #PaulJay #theanalysis #climatechange
Patrick Bond, political economist, Professor of Sociology at the 
University of Johannesburg, and Director of the Centre for Social 
Change, expands on the first Global Stocktake produced at COP28. He 
criticizes the document's weak language of "transitioning away" from 
fossil fuels, which he says is a distraction from the need to phase out 
fossil fuels outright. Sanctions such as the Carbon Border Adjustment 
Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent carbon leakage were removed from the GST in 
the name of promoting global trade, another aspect Bond problematizes. 
He also addresses the BRICS+ divided approach toward Israel's 
bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

/[The news archive - looking back at a pevious decade  ]/
/*December 31, 2013*/
December 31, 2013:

  In The Guardian, Dana Nuccitelli notes:

    2013 was a good year for climate science, but a mixed bag for
    climate policy
    2013 saw a lot of good climate science and myth debunking, but not
    much progress in solving the climate problem...
    - -
    "As 2013 comes to a close, a review of the key climate events of the
    year reveals some interesting new research and effective myth
    debunking, but little net progress in terms of addressing the
    problem through policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."...
    - -
    Skeptical Science also released a new global warming widget showing
    that when accounting for the entire global climate, the planet has
    been accumulating over 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations worth of
    energy per second, and over 2 billion detonations worth of heat
    since 1998...
    - -
    However, on an international level, 2013 passed with very little
    progress in terms of establishing a new international climate
    agreement. 2015 is the target date for new emissions reductions plans.

    Overall, 2013 was a productive year in terms of reducing the
    consensus gap and debunking the 'pause' myth. Climate policies were
    a mixed bag, with some steps backwards and some steps forward.
    Climate media coverage was likewise a mixed bag, with continued
    false balance and inaccurate reporting from the politically
    conservative media, also seeping into the BBC. The New York Times
    eliminated its environment desk, but The Guardian stepped in to fill
    the gap with its new Environment Blogs.

    A lot of interesting new climate research was published during the
    year, including a new IPCC synthesis report. However, progress
    toward solving the climate problem remained far too slow. Here's to
    2014 being a more productive year for climate solutions.
