Justin Trudeau optimistic heading into Paris climate change talks-Parts of carbon reduction agreement could be legally binding, PM says-CBC News Last Updated: Nov 28, 2015 6:44 PM ET
This article is part of a package of special coverage of climate change issues by CBC News leading up to the United Nations climate change conference (COP21) being held in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's not only optimistic a deal will be reached during the United Nations climate change conference in Paris, but he's comfortable parts of that deal could be legally binding.Trudeau touched down in Paris Saturday night ahead of the two-week conference. He meets with French President François Hollande on Sunday.Leaders and climate negotiators from almost 200 countries are meeting from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 to try to work out the broadest and longest-lasting deal so far to slow global warming.However, the prime minister says it's unlikely that obtaining carbon reduction targets will be mandatory. That's largely because it would be politically impossible for U.S. President Barack Obama to get such legislation through the Republican-dominated Congress.'The one thing we are focusing on now beyond targets, which have time and time been set and not met, is establishing a plan to actually meet those targets.' - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau-Trudeau says he believes it could be legally binding for countries to disclose how they are aiming to reach targets."That's the balance President Hollande is looking for and certainly what we encourage," Trudeau said Saturday in Malta, where he wrapped up meetings with the heads of other Commonwealth countries."I have tremendous faith in Parliament and my friendly opposition leaders to ensure we are held to account for the commitments we make."-Concentrating on a plan-The premiers of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan will meet Trudeau in Paris this weekend. It's a chance, as Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says, to show the world they're dealing with a new Canada."I think it's just very, very important for people to see that they're dealing with a different thing now in Alberta, and hopefully they'll view our efforts to engage in international trade more positively as a result," she said.Trudeau will not provide a new greenhouse emissions target in Paris. He has committed to talking to the premiers within 90 days of the climate change summit to set targets.Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said the past target made under the Conservative government will be used as a minimum, referring to it as "a floor, not a ceiling."The Conservatives announced in May that Canada's contribution to this year's Paris talks would be a 30 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2030.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with the Canadian Ambassador to France Lawrence Cannon as he walks across the tarmac with his wife Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau and their children Ella-Grace Trudeau and Hadrien Trudeau as they arrive at the airport Saturday, November 28, 2015 in Orly, France.Trudeau said global warming could have "a catastrophic impact," especially for Canada's Arctic."The one thing we are focusing on now beyond targets, which have time and time been set and not met, is establishing a plan to actually meet those targets and that's why it is so important to demonstrate the kind of ambitious-commitments that Canada is making concretely around emissions reductions," he said."We are focused on the plan to reduce emissions as much as we are targets."-Trudeau to meet Indian PM-Trudeau will sit down with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on Sunday night in Paris to make the case for a comprehensive climate change agreement.Modi took a pass on Malta, and his country is seen as a significant impediment to a global climate change pact, given India's refusal to rein in its galloping greenhouse gas emissions.Trudeau told reporters he remains optimistic India will come on board for the post-2020 climate pact being negotiated in Paris.He said citizens "are going to look very negatively at countries that don't participate.""For a concrete example of that, we need not look much further than our own story and the difficulty we had getting pipelines built because people didn't believe we were taking our environmental responsibilities seriously."With files from The Canadian Press.
Notley says many ways to have success at Paris climate talks beyond GHG targets-By Dean Bennett, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – nov 28,15-yahoonews
EDMONTON - While the focus is expected to be on greenhouse gas emissions targets at the Paris climate summit, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says there are many ways to achieve success."I am hopeful to see that we agree to a number of significant policy changes that will bring about real emissions reductions worldwide," said Notley on Saturday, prior to boarding a plane for Paris."I think those will be achieved through a number of different mechanisms. I believe that Canada is going to working very hard to make sure that we play our part."Notley will be part of the Canadian delegation, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at the 21st Conference of the Parties meeting in Paris, where more than 160 countries will try to hammer out commitments to cut C02 emissions.Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, also in Paris, has said no one expects Canada to submit its emissions cut targets at the meetings, adding that Canada will craft its framework strategy in the three months following the conference.But federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says concrete action is critical and that without firm CO2 reduction targets, the Paris summit could be branded a failure.Trudeau's government has already stated its commitment to reducing the emissions that are heating the atmosphere and, if not reduced, are predicted to lead to catastrophic changes to the Earth's ecosystem.On Friday, Trudeau pledged another $2.65 billion over five years toward a UN climate fund to aid developing countries.Trudeau also takes with him in his back pocket Alberta's sweeping new climate change strategy, introduced by Notley a week ago.Notley's plan aims to impose a broad carbon tax and launch long-term changes to end coal-fired electricity generation and cap greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands.Alberta's resource-based economy makes up a third of Canada's total GHG emissions.Notley has said that not only is her plan the right thing to do environmentally, it will give Alberta some moral leverage when it bids to expand its oil and gas resource network through such mechanisms as pipelines.U.S. President Barack Obama recently rejected the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas on the grounds the line would further propagate the production of "dirtier" oilsands product.Notley says the steps Trudeau has already taken will help Canada in Paris and beyond."Coming from where we were before in terms of being a somewhat reluctant participant in this process, I think our renewed commitment to taking real action will in and of itself be a success for us," she said.Notley will stay in Paris for three days and then be replaced by provincial Environment Minister Shannon Phillips.The premier has a number of meetings planned, including talks with the international gas firm Air Liquide and the International Emissions Trading Association.She declined to discuss specifics of what will be discussed except to say she will make clear Alberta's renewed commitment and its actions to reduce greenhouse gases.
Wynne encourages Trudeau to pursue North American climate change strategy-CTV QP: Supporting provincial climate plans-Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne speaks about the federal Liberal win and what it will mean for the country and climate change battle.by Michelle Zilio-Published Sunday, October 25, 2015 10:58AM EDT
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is encouraging Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau to pursue more climate change agreements with international partners, including a major deal with the U.S. and Mexico. Speaking to CTV’s Question Period, Wynne was hesitant to tell Trudeau what to do, but pressed for more cross-border climate change agreements. “I think the more agreements we can get across jurisdictions, the better off we will be. And so my hope would be that he will be in conversation with those North American leaders. That can only support our position in the global discussion,” said Wynne. The Liberal premier was also hopeful that world leaders will reach a global climate change deal at the United Nations summit in Paris this December. And she’s confident that Trudeau, who has invited the premiers and his fellow federal leaders to join him at the Paris conference, will strengthen Canada’s position in fight against global climate change.“I think that our voice can be a very strong one, given our geographic size and given the fact that we’re pulling in the same direction now across the country,” said Wynne.Trudeau has also promised to hold a first ministers' meeting with the premiers within 90 days of the Paris meeting, where they are expected to discuss federal and provincial approaches to climate change. For instance, he has said he will work with the provinces and territories to set a national carbon price.Wynne said she is looking forward to more federal leadership on the climate change front, but she also called on Trudeau to support provincial programs that encourage the reduction of greenhouse gases.“For example, in Ontario, we’ll be looking to the federal government to help with investments to help people to live up to their commitments around reduction, whether it’s home-retrofit programs, that kind of thing.”The Ontario premier is “happy for the people of Canada,” saying she thinks Canadians now have a prime minister who understands the importance of working with the provinces, not only on climate change but also other issues, including infrastructure. Trudeau made headlines during the election campaign when he promised to run three years of federal deficits in order to invest in crumbling infrastructure across the country. Wynne said that Ontario will need to focus on improvements to roads, bridges and transit, while other provinces might have different requirements, such as rail and flood prevention. Ontario also stands ready to help Trudeau reach one of his most ambitious election promises – to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year. Wynne recently pledged $10.5 million to help more Syrian refugees settle in Ontario. “We are very eager to work to get as many refugees as possible. One of the problems we’ve had is that there has been a lot of administrative slowdown in actually moving people into the country. So I hope now we’ll see some of those blockages removed.”
From penguins to Pope's shoes, climate rallies pressure U.N. summit-Reuters By Megan Rowling and Alister Doyle-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people from Sydney to London joined one of the biggest days of climate change activism on Sunday, telling world leaders gathering for a summit in Paris there is "No Planet B" in the fight against global warming.In the French capital, where demonstrations were banned by the authorities after attacks by Islamic State militants killed 130 people on Nov. 13, activists laid out more than 20,000 pairs of shoes in the Place de la Republique to symbolize absent marchers.Among the high heels and sandals were a pair of plain black shoes sent by Pope Francis, who has been a vocal advocate for action to prevent dangerous climate change, and jogging shoes from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. One activist, dressed in white as an angel with large wings, held a sign saying "coal kills".About 10,000 people also joined arms to form a human chain through Paris along the 3-km (2-mile) route of the banned march, organizers said."This is a moment for the whole world to join hands," said Iain Keith, campaign director for Avaaz, one of the organizers.Elsewhere, more than 2,000 events were being held in cities including London, Sao Paulo and New York, making it perhaps the biggest day of climate action in history on the eve of the Paris summit which runs from Nov. 30-Dec. 11 and will be attended by about 150 heads of government. Around the world, activists marched, dressed as polar bears or penguins at risk from melting ice, or chanted slogans such as "climate justice".-CLASHES IN PARIS-In Sydney, about 45,000 people are estimated to have marched through the central business district towards the Opera House. Protesters held placards reading: “There is no Planet B,” and “Say no to burning national forests for electricity”.U.S. President Barack Obama and China's Xi Jinping will be among the leaders attending the start of the summit, which organizers hope will produce a first legally binding agreement to commit both rich and developing nations to curbing emissions of greenhouse gases, blamed for warming the planet, beyond 2020.Hopes are high that the Paris summit will not fail like the previous such meeting six years ago in Copenhagen.But all sides say pledges made in Paris will be insufficient to limit a rise in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, widely viewed as a threshold for dangerous changes in the planet's climate system.Almost all the demonstrations were peaceful but, after the human chain protest in Paris, riot police fired tear gas and clashed with about 200 protesters, some wearing masks, in the Place de la Republique.Demonstrators carried banners calling for the defense of the climate and democracy. The square has been a gathering place for Parisians since the Nov. 13 attacks.Using the state of emergency rules, police put 24 green activists under house arrest ahead of the summit, saying they were suspected of planning violent protests.In Berlin, about 5,000 people marched with some dressed as penguins. One carried a huge "There is no planet B for penguins," banner.In London, hundreds of marchers were joined by fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and actress Emma Thompson. "This is our planet and we are in deep, grave danger," Thompson told Sky television.In the biggest single march on climate change ever staged, last year organizers estimated 310,000 people took part in New York.(Additional reporting by Michael Shields in Vienna; Elizabeth Piper in London and Morag MacKinnon in Perth; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
Earth is a wilder, warmer place since last climate deal made-Associated Press By SETH BORENSTEIN-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (AP) — This time, it's a hotter, waterier, wilder Earth that world leaders are trying to save.The last time that the nations of the world struck a binding agreement to fight global warming was 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. As leaders gather for a conference in Paris on Monday to try to do more, it's clear things have changed dramatically over the past 18 years.Some differences can be measured: degrees on a thermometer, trillions of tons of melting ice, a rise in sea level of a couple of inches. Epic weather disasters, including punishing droughts, killer heat waves and monster storms, have plagued Earth.As a result, climate change is seen as a more urgent and concrete problem than it was last time."At the time of Kyoto, if someone talked about climate change, they were talking about something that was abstract in the future," said Marcia McNutt, the former U.S. Geological Survey director who was picked to run the National Academies of Sciences. "Now, we're talking about changing climate, something that's happening now. You can point to event after event that is happening in the here and now that is a direct result of changing climate."Other, nonphysical changes since 1997 make many experts more optimistic than in previous climate negotiations. For one, improved technology is pointing to the possibility of a world weaned from fossil fuels, which emit heat-trapping gases. Businesses and countries are more serious about doing something, in the face of evidence that some of science's worst-case scenarios are coming to pass."I am quite stunned by how much the Earth has changed since 1997," Princeton University's Bill Anderegg said in an email. "In many cases (e.g. Arctic sea ice loss, forest die-off due to drought), the speed of climate change is proceeding even faster than we thought it would two decades ago."Some of the cold numbers on global warming since 1997:—The West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have lost 5.5 trillion tons of ice, or 5 trillion metric tons, according to Andrew Shepherd at the University of Leeds, who used NASA and European satellite data.—The five-year average surface global temperature for January to October has risen by nearly two-thirds of a degree Fahrenheit, or 0.36 degrees Celsius, between 1993-97 and 2011-15, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 1997, Earth set a record for the hottest year, but it didn't last. Records were set in 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2014, and it is sure to happen again in 2015 when the results are in from the year, according to NOAA.—The average glacier has lost about 39 feet, or 12 meters, of ice thickness since 1997, according to Samuel Nussbaumer at the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Switzerland.—With 1.2 billion more people in the world, carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels climbed nearly 50 percent between 1997 and 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The world is spewing more than 100 million tons of carbon dioxide a day now.—The seas have risen nearly 2 1/2 inches, or 6.2 centimeters, on average since 1997, according to calculations by the University of Colorado.—At its low point during the summer, the Arctic sea ice is on average 820,000 square miles smaller than it was 18 years ago, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. That's a loss equal in area to Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined.—The five deadliest heat waves of the past century — in Europe in 2003, Russia in 2010, India and Pakistan this year, Western Europe in 2006 and southern Asia in 1998 — have come in the past 18 years, according to the International Disaster Database run by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster in Belgium.—The number of weather and climate disasters worldwide has increased 42 percent, though deaths are down 58 percent. From 1993 to 1997, the world averaged 221 weather disasters that killed 3,248 people a year. From 2010 to 2014, the yearly average of weather disasters was up to 313, while deaths dropped to 1,364, according to the disaster database.Eighteen years ago, the discussion was far more about average temperatures, not the freakish extremes. Now, scientists and others realize it is in the more frequent extremes that people are truly experiencing climate change.Witness the "large downpours, floods, mudslides, the deeper and longer droughts, rising sea levels from the melting ice, forest fires," former Vice President Al Gore, who helped negotiate the 1997 agreement, told The Associated Press. "There's a long list of events that people can see and feel viscerally right now. Every night on the television news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation."Studies have shown that man-made climate change contributed in a number of recent weather disasters. Among those that climate scientists highlight as most significant: the 2003 European heat wave that killed 70,000 people in the deadliest such disaster in a century; Hurricane Sandy, worsened by sea level rise, which caused more than $67 billion in damage and claimed 159 lives; the 2010 Russian heat wave that left more than 55,000 dead; the drought still gripping California; and Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,000 in the Philippines in 2013.Still, "while the Earth is a lot more dangerous on one side, the technologies are a lot better than they were," said Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University's Earth Institute. Solar and wind have come down tremendously in price, so much so that a Texas utility gives away wind-generated electricity at night.Another big change is China.In Kyoto, China and developing countries weren't required to cut emissions. Global warming was seen as a problem for the U.S. and other rich nations to solve. But now China — by far the world's No. 1 carbon polluter — has reached agreement with the U.S. to slow emissions and has become a leader in solar power."The negotiations are no longer defined by rich and poor," Gore said. "There's a range of countries in the middle, emerging economies, and thankfully some of them have stepped up to shoulder some of the responsibility."U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres said there's far less foot-dragging in negotiations: "There is not a single country that tells me they don't want a good Paris agreement."Figueres said that while the Kyoto agreement dictated to individual nations how much they must cut, what comes out of Paris will be based on what the more than 150 countries say they can do. That tends to work better, she said.It has to, Figueres said. "The urgency is much clearer now than it used to be."___Follow Seth Borenstein on Twitter at http://twitter.com/borenbears .

The Latest: Obama: US a leader in climate change progress-The Latest: Obama cites US leadership in making gains in global fight against climate change-Associated Press-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (AP) -- The latest from the much-anticipated U.N. climate conference that gets underway in Paris on Monday. All times local:6:25 p.m.President Barack Obama says American leadership is helping the global fight against climate change.As he left for the climate conference in Paris Sunday, Obama wrote a Facebook that the U.S. has shown it's possible to make environmental gains while creating jobs and expanding the economy.Obama will try to reassure world leaders in Paris that the U.S. can deliver on its own commitments. He says the goal in Paris is a long-term framework for more global reductions, with each nation setting targets that other countries can verify.He says leaders will try to support "the most vulnerable countries" in expanding clean energy and "adapting to the effects of climate changes that we can no longer avoid."___6:05 p.m.A well-known climate pressure group took its distance from a violent demonstration in Paris, saying the protesters were "unaffiliated with the climate movement."There were at least 100 arrests after the clash between riot police and groups of protesters, some wearing masks, but no injuries, police chief Michel Cadot said.On the eve of a climate conference, protesters threw glass bottles and even candles at police in the Place de la Republique, after two peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day in response to a ban on marches due to France's state of emergency imposed after the Nov. 13 attacks.In a statement, the climate group 350.org said that the violent protesters violated the "nonviolent pledge that every group involved in the climate coalition" agreed to.The statement expressed hope that France wouldn't clamp down further on freedoms during the conference following the incident.___5:30 p.m.Climate change negotiations in Paris have started with a moment of silence and commemoration for the victims of the attacks in the French capital.Negotiations started at 5 p.m. local time Sunday in Paris. After the moment of silence, Peruvian environment minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, who headed last year's negotiations, said a climate agreement is a good way to overcome the horrors of the Paris attacks.French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, president of the Paris conference, said the goal is an ambitious agreement that all countries can agree on."I am confident that you will be able to retrieve a good result," Fabius told negotiators. "Every day we have to make progress. No subject shall be left aside."He said negotiators owe it to the world to finish negotiations in an orderly time frame.___4:45 p.m.The Paris police chief says that about 100 people have been detained after a protest seeking a global climate deal turned violent.Michel Cadot told reporters that police identified about 200 or 300 people who violated a ban on all protests under the country's state of emergency. The state of emergency was declared because of recent extremist attacks that killed 130 people in Paris.Cadot said Sunday about 100 people who were found to have projectiles or other suspicious objects were detained.Police fired numerous rounds of tear gas on protesters to disperse them.The protesters were gathering ahead of critical global warming talks outside Paris.___3:55 p.m.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says governments' pledges to cut global warming emissions aren't enough and should be reviewed before 2020.In an interview on the eve of a U.N. climate summit in Paris, Ban told The Associated Press he has endorsed plans for reviewing targets every five years."I would propose that the first such review session should be held before 2020," Ban said.___3:35 p.m.Thousands of people are marching through London, urging world leaders not to blow their chance to take strong action on climate change.Actress Emma Thompson, designer Vivienne Westwood and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn are among demonstrators urging politicians to strike a binding agreement at climate talks in Paris.Corbyn told the crowd that the talks were "an enormous opportunity" to tackle "pollution, climate change, inequality, environmental refugees, war refugees and resources wars. If we are to make a real difference in Paris, all these issues have got to be thought about and addressed."Thompson said that climate change, once seen as a fringe cause, was now "the issue of the 21st century."Events are taking place around the world on the eve of the Paris talks.Numbers at the London march from Hyde Park to the Whitehall government district were swelled by a ban on a protest march in Paris in the wake of Nov. 13 attacks by Islamic extremists that killed 130 people.___3:20 p.m.Police fired tear gas and clashed with demonstrators on Paris' Place de la Republique square in an early test of the authorities' determination to ban public demonstrations during the international climate negotiations. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in central Paris Sunday and formed a human chain along the route of a long-planned protest march that was banned by France's Socialist government in a security crackdown following attacks by Islamic extremists earlier this monthIn mid-afternoon scuffles broke out between riot police and protesters on the Place de la Republique, where Parisians have gathered to place flowers in remembrance of the 130 mostly young victims of the Nov. 13 attacks.___2:35 p.m.Multiple sources have told The Associated Press that countries, high-powered companies and business leaders will announce an effort Monday to put tens of billions of dollars toward clean energy technology to fight climate change.A French source who was not authorized to speak publicly said French president Francois Hollande will attend the event they call the "Clean Tech Initiative" that is going to be launched by Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates in the presence of U.S. President Barack Obama. The source said France, the U.S., India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada and Norway have already decided to participate in the "ambitious" project that will aim at developing clean energies.Two other sources, including a former U.S. White House official familiar with the initiative, said the amount of money involved, from countries, companies and individuals would be in the tens of billions of dollars. The money would be geared toward research and development of technologies, such as energy storage that could make clean power from wind and solar more usable regardless of weather vagaries.According to an early draft of the initiative, which at the time was called "Mission Innovation," governments participating were pledging to double their clean energy research and development spending in the next five years.—By Sylvie Corbet, Karl Ritter and Seth Borenstein___11:55 a.m.The 53-nation Commonwealth says climate change poses an "existential threat" to some member states, and wants the Paris climate talks to produce a legally binding agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The Commonwealth — a grouping of Britain and many of its former colonies — covers more than 2 billion people. Its members include industrialized economies such as Canada and Australia, resource-hungry India and small island states vulnerable to rising sea levels.At a biennial summit in Malta, Commonwealth leaders called for developed countries to spend $100 billion a year by 2020 to "help developing countries implement plans for adaptation and mitigation."The United States has cast doubt on whether an agreement reached in Paris would be legally binding. Secretary of State John Kerry said this month that there were "not going to be legally binding reduction targets" agreed at the meeting.___10:20 a.m.Environmental and other activists are lining up shoes on Paris streets and holding a healing ceremony to urge world leaders to reach a deal to slow climate change.A big activists' march Sunday was banned because of a state of emergency imposed in France after Nov. 13 extremist attacks that killed 130 people. Instead, environmental groups are holding marches outside France this weekend, and some activists lined up shoes on the Place de la Republique square to represent the people barred from protesting.Tribal leaders from different indigenous groups around the world are also planning a healing ceremony Sunday near the site of the Paris attacks.They are urging leaders gathering for U.N. climate talks near Paris Nov. 30-Dec. 11 to agree to deep emissions cuts and to help poor countries cope with global warming.___9:45 a.m.More than 140 world leaders are gathering in Paris for high-stakes talks seeking a long-term deal to slow man-made global warming.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is meeting French President Francois Hollande on Sunday morning to discuss the talks, and U.S. President Barack Obama is among scores of other leaders arriving for the talks.The Nov. 30- Dec. 11 U.N. climate conference is under extra-high security after extremists killed 130 people around Paris earlier this month.Negotiators from 196 countries are seeking an accord that reduces man-made emissions to limit rising sea levels and increasingly extreme weather that is already threatening populations around the world.

Justin Trudeau optimistic heading into Paris climate change talks-Parts of carbon reduction agreement could be legally binding, PM says-CBC News Last Updated: Nov 28, 2015 6:44 PM ET
This article is part of a package of special coverage of climate change issues by CBC News leading up to the United Nations climate change conference (COP21) being held in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's not only optimistic a deal will be reached during the United Nations climate change conference in Paris, but he's comfortable parts of that deal could be legally binding.Trudeau touched down in Paris Saturday night ahead of the two-week conference. He meets with French President François Hollande on Sunday.Leaders and climate negotiators from almost 200 countries are meeting from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 to try to work out the broadest and longest-lasting deal so far to slow global warming.However, the prime minister says it's unlikely that obtaining carbon reduction targets will be mandatory. That's largely because it would be politically impossible for U.S. President Barack Obama to get such legislation through the Republican-dominated Congress.'The one thing we are focusing on now beyond targets, which have time and time been set and not met, is establishing a plan to actually meet those targets.' - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau-Trudeau says he believes it could be legally binding for countries to disclose how they are aiming to reach targets."That's the balance President Hollande is looking for and certainly what we encourage," Trudeau said Saturday in Malta, where he wrapped up meetings with the heads of other Commonwealth countries."I have tremendous faith in Parliament and my friendly opposition leaders to ensure we are held to account for the commitments we make."-Concentrating on a plan-The premiers of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan will meet Trudeau in Paris this weekend. It's a chance, as Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says, to show the world they're dealing with a new Canada."I think it's just very, very important for people to see that they're dealing with a different thing now in Alberta, and hopefully they'll view our efforts to engage in international trade more positively as a result," she said.Trudeau will not provide a new greenhouse emissions target in Paris. He has committed to talking to the premiers within 90 days of the climate change summit to set targets.Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said the past target made under the Conservative government will be used as a minimum, referring to it as "a floor, not a ceiling."The Conservatives announced in May that Canada's contribution to this year's Paris talks would be a 30 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2030.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with the Canadian Ambassador to France Lawrence Cannon as he walks across the tarmac with his wife Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau and their children Ella-Grace Trudeau and Hadrien Trudeau as they arrive at the airport Saturday, November 28, 2015 in Orly, France.Trudeau said global warming could have "a catastrophic impact," especially for Canada's Arctic."The one thing we are focusing on now beyond targets, which have time and time been set and not met, is establishing a plan to actually meet those targets and that's why it is so important to demonstrate the kind of ambitious-commitments that Canada is making concretely around emissions reductions," he said."We are focused on the plan to reduce emissions as much as we are targets."-Trudeau to meet Indian PM-Trudeau will sit down with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on Sunday night in Paris to make the case for a comprehensive climate change agreement.Modi took a pass on Malta, and his country is seen as a significant impediment to a global climate change pact, given India's refusal to rein in its galloping greenhouse gas emissions.Trudeau told reporters he remains optimistic India will come on board for the post-2020 climate pact being negotiated in Paris.He said citizens "are going to look very negatively at countries that don't participate.""For a concrete example of that, we need not look much further than our own story and the difficulty we had getting pipelines built because people didn't believe we were taking our environmental responsibilities seriously."With files from The Canadian Press.
Notley says many ways to have success at Paris climate talks beyond GHG targets-By Dean Bennett, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – nov 28,15-yahoonews
EDMONTON - While the focus is expected to be on greenhouse gas emissions targets at the Paris climate summit, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says there are many ways to achieve success."I am hopeful to see that we agree to a number of significant policy changes that will bring about real emissions reductions worldwide," said Notley on Saturday, prior to boarding a plane for Paris."I think those will be achieved through a number of different mechanisms. I believe that Canada is going to working very hard to make sure that we play our part."Notley will be part of the Canadian delegation, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at the 21st Conference of the Parties meeting in Paris, where more than 160 countries will try to hammer out commitments to cut C02 emissions.Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, also in Paris, has said no one expects Canada to submit its emissions cut targets at the meetings, adding that Canada will craft its framework strategy in the three months following the conference.But federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says concrete action is critical and that without firm CO2 reduction targets, the Paris summit could be branded a failure.Trudeau's government has already stated its commitment to reducing the emissions that are heating the atmosphere and, if not reduced, are predicted to lead to catastrophic changes to the Earth's ecosystem.On Friday, Trudeau pledged another $2.65 billion over five years toward a UN climate fund to aid developing countries.Trudeau also takes with him in his back pocket Alberta's sweeping new climate change strategy, introduced by Notley a week ago.Notley's plan aims to impose a broad carbon tax and launch long-term changes to end coal-fired electricity generation and cap greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands.Alberta's resource-based economy makes up a third of Canada's total GHG emissions.Notley has said that not only is her plan the right thing to do environmentally, it will give Alberta some moral leverage when it bids to expand its oil and gas resource network through such mechanisms as pipelines.U.S. President Barack Obama recently rejected the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas on the grounds the line would further propagate the production of "dirtier" oilsands product.Notley says the steps Trudeau has already taken will help Canada in Paris and beyond."Coming from where we were before in terms of being a somewhat reluctant participant in this process, I think our renewed commitment to taking real action will in and of itself be a success for us," she said.Notley will stay in Paris for three days and then be replaced by provincial Environment Minister Shannon Phillips.The premier has a number of meetings planned, including talks with the international gas firm Air Liquide and the International Emissions Trading Association.She declined to discuss specifics of what will be discussed except to say she will make clear Alberta's renewed commitment and its actions to reduce greenhouse gases.
Wynne encourages Trudeau to pursue North American climate change strategy-CTV QP: Supporting provincial climate plans-Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne speaks about the federal Liberal win and what it will mean for the country and climate change battle.by Michelle Zilio-Published Sunday, October 25, 2015 10:58AM EDT
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is encouraging Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau to pursue more climate change agreements with international partners, including a major deal with the U.S. and Mexico. Speaking to CTV’s Question Period, Wynne was hesitant to tell Trudeau what to do, but pressed for more cross-border climate change agreements. “I think the more agreements we can get across jurisdictions, the better off we will be. And so my hope would be that he will be in conversation with those North American leaders. That can only support our position in the global discussion,” said Wynne. The Liberal premier was also hopeful that world leaders will reach a global climate change deal at the United Nations summit in Paris this December. And she’s confident that Trudeau, who has invited the premiers and his fellow federal leaders to join him at the Paris conference, will strengthen Canada’s position in fight against global climate change.“I think that our voice can be a very strong one, given our geographic size and given the fact that we’re pulling in the same direction now across the country,” said Wynne.Trudeau has also promised to hold a first ministers' meeting with the premiers within 90 days of the Paris meeting, where they are expected to discuss federal and provincial approaches to climate change. For instance, he has said he will work with the provinces and territories to set a national carbon price.Wynne said she is looking forward to more federal leadership on the climate change front, but she also called on Trudeau to support provincial programs that encourage the reduction of greenhouse gases.“For example, in Ontario, we’ll be looking to the federal government to help with investments to help people to live up to their commitments around reduction, whether it’s home-retrofit programs, that kind of thing.”The Ontario premier is “happy for the people of Canada,” saying she thinks Canadians now have a prime minister who understands the importance of working with the provinces, not only on climate change but also other issues, including infrastructure. Trudeau made headlines during the election campaign when he promised to run three years of federal deficits in order to invest in crumbling infrastructure across the country. Wynne said that Ontario will need to focus on improvements to roads, bridges and transit, while other provinces might have different requirements, such as rail and flood prevention. Ontario also stands ready to help Trudeau reach one of his most ambitious election promises – to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year. Wynne recently pledged $10.5 million to help more Syrian refugees settle in Ontario. “We are very eager to work to get as many refugees as possible. One of the problems we’ve had is that there has been a lot of administrative slowdown in actually moving people into the country. So I hope now we’ll see some of those blockages removed.”
From penguins to Pope's shoes, climate rallies pressure U.N. summit-Reuters By Megan Rowling and Alister Doyle-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people from Sydney to London joined one of the biggest days of climate change activism on Sunday, telling world leaders gathering for a summit in Paris there is "No Planet B" in the fight against global warming.In the French capital, where demonstrations were banned by the authorities after attacks by Islamic State militants killed 130 people on Nov. 13, activists laid out more than 20,000 pairs of shoes in the Place de la Republique to symbolize absent marchers.Among the high heels and sandals were a pair of plain black shoes sent by Pope Francis, who has been a vocal advocate for action to prevent dangerous climate change, and jogging shoes from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. One activist, dressed in white as an angel with large wings, held a sign saying "coal kills".About 10,000 people also joined arms to form a human chain through Paris along the 3-km (2-mile) route of the banned march, organizers said."This is a moment for the whole world to join hands," said Iain Keith, campaign director for Avaaz, one of the organizers.Elsewhere, more than 2,000 events were being held in cities including London, Sao Paulo and New York, making it perhaps the biggest day of climate action in history on the eve of the Paris summit which runs from Nov. 30-Dec. 11 and will be attended by about 150 heads of government. Around the world, activists marched, dressed as polar bears or penguins at risk from melting ice, or chanted slogans such as "climate justice".-CLASHES IN PARIS-In Sydney, about 45,000 people are estimated to have marched through the central business district towards the Opera House. Protesters held placards reading: “There is no Planet B,” and “Say no to burning national forests for electricity”.U.S. President Barack Obama and China's Xi Jinping will be among the leaders attending the start of the summit, which organizers hope will produce a first legally binding agreement to commit both rich and developing nations to curbing emissions of greenhouse gases, blamed for warming the planet, beyond 2020.Hopes are high that the Paris summit will not fail like the previous such meeting six years ago in Copenhagen.But all sides say pledges made in Paris will be insufficient to limit a rise in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, widely viewed as a threshold for dangerous changes in the planet's climate system.Almost all the demonstrations were peaceful but, after the human chain protest in Paris, riot police fired tear gas and clashed with about 200 protesters, some wearing masks, in the Place de la Republique.Demonstrators carried banners calling for the defense of the climate and democracy. The square has been a gathering place for Parisians since the Nov. 13 attacks.Using the state of emergency rules, police put 24 green activists under house arrest ahead of the summit, saying they were suspected of planning violent protests.In Berlin, about 5,000 people marched with some dressed as penguins. One carried a huge "There is no planet B for penguins," banner.In London, hundreds of marchers were joined by fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and actress Emma Thompson. "This is our planet and we are in deep, grave danger," Thompson told Sky television.In the biggest single march on climate change ever staged, last year organizers estimated 310,000 people took part in New York.(Additional reporting by Michael Shields in Vienna; Elizabeth Piper in London and Morag MacKinnon in Perth; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
Earth is a wilder, warmer place since last climate deal made-Associated Press By SETH BORENSTEIN-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (AP) — This time, it's a hotter, waterier, wilder Earth that world leaders are trying to save.The last time that the nations of the world struck a binding agreement to fight global warming was 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. As leaders gather for a conference in Paris on Monday to try to do more, it's clear things have changed dramatically over the past 18 years.Some differences can be measured: degrees on a thermometer, trillions of tons of melting ice, a rise in sea level of a couple of inches. Epic weather disasters, including punishing droughts, killer heat waves and monster storms, have plagued Earth.As a result, climate change is seen as a more urgent and concrete problem than it was last time."At the time of Kyoto, if someone talked about climate change, they were talking about something that was abstract in the future," said Marcia McNutt, the former U.S. Geological Survey director who was picked to run the National Academies of Sciences. "Now, we're talking about changing climate, something that's happening now. You can point to event after event that is happening in the here and now that is a direct result of changing climate."Other, nonphysical changes since 1997 make many experts more optimistic than in previous climate negotiations. For one, improved technology is pointing to the possibility of a world weaned from fossil fuels, which emit heat-trapping gases. Businesses and countries are more serious about doing something, in the face of evidence that some of science's worst-case scenarios are coming to pass."I am quite stunned by how much the Earth has changed since 1997," Princeton University's Bill Anderegg said in an email. "In many cases (e.g. Arctic sea ice loss, forest die-off due to drought), the speed of climate change is proceeding even faster than we thought it would two decades ago."Some of the cold numbers on global warming since 1997:—The West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have lost 5.5 trillion tons of ice, or 5 trillion metric tons, according to Andrew Shepherd at the University of Leeds, who used NASA and European satellite data.—The five-year average surface global temperature for January to October has risen by nearly two-thirds of a degree Fahrenheit, or 0.36 degrees Celsius, between 1993-97 and 2011-15, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 1997, Earth set a record for the hottest year, but it didn't last. Records were set in 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2014, and it is sure to happen again in 2015 when the results are in from the year, according to NOAA.—The average glacier has lost about 39 feet, or 12 meters, of ice thickness since 1997, according to Samuel Nussbaumer at the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Switzerland.—With 1.2 billion more people in the world, carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels climbed nearly 50 percent between 1997 and 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The world is spewing more than 100 million tons of carbon dioxide a day now.—The seas have risen nearly 2 1/2 inches, or 6.2 centimeters, on average since 1997, according to calculations by the University of Colorado.—At its low point during the summer, the Arctic sea ice is on average 820,000 square miles smaller than it was 18 years ago, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. That's a loss equal in area to Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined.—The five deadliest heat waves of the past century — in Europe in 2003, Russia in 2010, India and Pakistan this year, Western Europe in 2006 and southern Asia in 1998 — have come in the past 18 years, according to the International Disaster Database run by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster in Belgium.—The number of weather and climate disasters worldwide has increased 42 percent, though deaths are down 58 percent. From 1993 to 1997, the world averaged 221 weather disasters that killed 3,248 people a year. From 2010 to 2014, the yearly average of weather disasters was up to 313, while deaths dropped to 1,364, according to the disaster database.Eighteen years ago, the discussion was far more about average temperatures, not the freakish extremes. Now, scientists and others realize it is in the more frequent extremes that people are truly experiencing climate change.Witness the "large downpours, floods, mudslides, the deeper and longer droughts, rising sea levels from the melting ice, forest fires," former Vice President Al Gore, who helped negotiate the 1997 agreement, told The Associated Press. "There's a long list of events that people can see and feel viscerally right now. Every night on the television news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation."Studies have shown that man-made climate change contributed in a number of recent weather disasters. Among those that climate scientists highlight as most significant: the 2003 European heat wave that killed 70,000 people in the deadliest such disaster in a century; Hurricane Sandy, worsened by sea level rise, which caused more than $67 billion in damage and claimed 159 lives; the 2010 Russian heat wave that left more than 55,000 dead; the drought still gripping California; and Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,000 in the Philippines in 2013.Still, "while the Earth is a lot more dangerous on one side, the technologies are a lot better than they were," said Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University's Earth Institute. Solar and wind have come down tremendously in price, so much so that a Texas utility gives away wind-generated electricity at night.Another big change is China.In Kyoto, China and developing countries weren't required to cut emissions. Global warming was seen as a problem for the U.S. and other rich nations to solve. But now China — by far the world's No. 1 carbon polluter — has reached agreement with the U.S. to slow emissions and has become a leader in solar power."The negotiations are no longer defined by rich and poor," Gore said. "There's a range of countries in the middle, emerging economies, and thankfully some of them have stepped up to shoulder some of the responsibility."U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres said there's far less foot-dragging in negotiations: "There is not a single country that tells me they don't want a good Paris agreement."Figueres said that while the Kyoto agreement dictated to individual nations how much they must cut, what comes out of Paris will be based on what the more than 150 countries say they can do. That tends to work better, she said.It has to, Figueres said. "The urgency is much clearer now than it used to be."___Follow Seth Borenstein on Twitter at http://twitter.com/borenbears .

The Latest: Obama: US a leader in climate change progress-The Latest: Obama cites US leadership in making gains in global fight against climate change-Associated Press-nov 29,15-yahoonews
PARIS (AP) -- The latest from the much-anticipated U.N. climate conference that gets underway in Paris on Monday. All times local:6:25 p.m.President Barack Obama says American leadership is helping the global fight against climate change.As he left for the climate conference in Paris Sunday, Obama wrote a Facebook that the U.S. has shown it's possible to make environmental gains while creating jobs and expanding the economy.Obama will try to reassure world leaders in Paris that the U.S. can deliver on its own commitments. He says the goal in Paris is a long-term framework for more global reductions, with each nation setting targets that other countries can verify.He says leaders will try to support "the most vulnerable countries" in expanding clean energy and "adapting to the effects of climate changes that we can no longer avoid."___6:05 p.m.A well-known climate pressure group took its distance from a violent demonstration in Paris, saying the protesters were "unaffiliated with the climate movement."There were at least 100 arrests after the clash between riot police and groups of protesters, some wearing masks, but no injuries, police chief Michel Cadot said.On the eve of a climate conference, protesters threw glass bottles and even candles at police in the Place de la Republique, after two peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day in response to a ban on marches due to France's state of emergency imposed after the Nov. 13 attacks.In a statement, the climate group 350.org said that the violent protesters violated the "nonviolent pledge that every group involved in the climate coalition" agreed to.The statement expressed hope that France wouldn't clamp down further on freedoms during the conference following the incident.___5:30 p.m.Climate change negotiations in Paris have started with a moment of silence and commemoration for the victims of the attacks in the French capital.Negotiations started at 5 p.m. local time Sunday in Paris. After the moment of silence, Peruvian environment minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, who headed last year's negotiations, said a climate agreement is a good way to overcome the horrors of the Paris attacks.French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, president of the Paris conference, said the goal is an ambitious agreement that all countries can agree on."I am confident that you will be able to retrieve a good result," Fabius told negotiators. "Every day we have to make progress. No subject shall be left aside."He said negotiators owe it to the world to finish negotiations in an orderly time frame.___4:45 p.m.The Paris police chief says that about 100 people have been detained after a protest seeking a global climate deal turned violent.Michel Cadot told reporters that police identified about 200 or 300 people who violated a ban on all protests under the country's state of emergency. The state of emergency was declared because of recent extremist attacks that killed 130 people in Paris.Cadot said Sunday about 100 people who were found to have projectiles or other suspicious objects were detained.Police fired numerous rounds of tear gas on protesters to disperse them.The protesters were gathering ahead of critical global warming talks outside Paris.___3:55 p.m.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says governments' pledges to cut global warming emissions aren't enough and should be reviewed before 2020.In an interview on the eve of a U.N. climate summit in Paris, Ban told The Associated Press he has endorsed plans for reviewing targets every five years."I would propose that the first such review session should be held before 2020," Ban said.___3:35 p.m.Thousands of people are marching through London, urging world leaders not to blow their chance to take strong action on climate change.Actress Emma Thompson, designer Vivienne Westwood and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn are among demonstrators urging politicians to strike a binding agreement at climate talks in Paris.Corbyn told the crowd that the talks were "an enormous opportunity" to tackle "pollution, climate change, inequality, environmental refugees, war refugees and resources wars. If we are to make a real difference in Paris, all these issues have got to be thought about and addressed."Thompson said that climate change, once seen as a fringe cause, was now "the issue of the 21st century."Events are taking place around the world on the eve of the Paris talks.Numbers at the London march from Hyde Park to the Whitehall government district were swelled by a ban on a protest march in Paris in the wake of Nov. 13 attacks by Islamic extremists that killed 130 people.___3:20 p.m.Police fired tear gas and clashed with demonstrators on Paris' Place de la Republique square in an early test of the authorities' determination to ban public demonstrations during the international climate negotiations. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in central Paris Sunday and formed a human chain along the route of a long-planned protest march that was banned by France's Socialist government in a security crackdown following attacks by Islamic extremists earlier this monthIn mid-afternoon scuffles broke out between riot police and protesters on the Place de la Republique, where Parisians have gathered to place flowers in remembrance of the 130 mostly young victims of the Nov. 13 attacks.___2:35 p.m.Multiple sources have told The Associated Press that countries, high-powered companies and business leaders will announce an effort Monday to put tens of billions of dollars toward clean energy technology to fight climate change.A French source who was not authorized to speak publicly said French president Francois Hollande will attend the event they call the "Clean Tech Initiative" that is going to be launched by Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates in the presence of U.S. President Barack Obama. The source said France, the U.S., India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada and Norway have already decided to participate in the "ambitious" project that will aim at developing clean energies.Two other sources, including a former U.S. White House official familiar with the initiative, said the amount of money involved, from countries, companies and individuals would be in the tens of billions of dollars. The money would be geared toward research and development of technologies, such as energy storage that could make clean power from wind and solar more usable regardless of weather vagaries.According to an early draft of the initiative, which at the time was called "Mission Innovation," governments participating were pledging to double their clean energy research and development spending in the next five years.—By Sylvie Corbet, Karl Ritter and Seth Borenstein___11:55 a.m.The 53-nation Commonwealth says climate change poses an "existential threat" to some member states, and wants the Paris climate talks to produce a legally binding agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The Commonwealth — a grouping of Britain and many of its former colonies — covers more than 2 billion people. Its members include industrialized economies such as Canada and Australia, resource-hungry India and small island states vulnerable to rising sea levels.At a biennial summit in Malta, Commonwealth leaders called for developed countries to spend $100 billion a year by 2020 to "help developing countries implement plans for adaptation and mitigation."The United States has cast doubt on whether an agreement reached in Paris would be legally binding. Secretary of State John Kerry said this month that there were "not going to be legally binding reduction targets" agreed at the meeting.___10:20 a.m.Environmental and other activists are lining up shoes on Paris streets and holding a healing ceremony to urge world leaders to reach a deal to slow climate change.A big activists' march Sunday was banned because of a state of emergency imposed in France after Nov. 13 extremist attacks that killed 130 people. Instead, environmental groups are holding marches outside France this weekend, and some activists lined up shoes on the Place de la Republique square to represent the people barred from protesting.Tribal leaders from different indigenous groups around the world are also planning a healing ceremony Sunday near the site of the Paris attacks.They are urging leaders gathering for U.N. climate talks near Paris Nov. 30-Dec. 11 to agree to deep emissions cuts and to help poor countries cope with global warming.___9:45 a.m.More than 140 world leaders are gathering in Paris for high-stakes talks seeking a long-term deal to slow man-made global warming.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is meeting French President Francois Hollande on Sunday morning to discuss the talks, and U.S. President Barack Obama is among scores of other leaders arriving for the talks.The Nov. 30- Dec. 11 U.N. climate conference is under extra-high security after extremists killed 130 people around Paris earlier this month.Negotiators from 196 countries are seeking an accord that reduces man-made emissions to limit rising sea levels and increasingly extreme weather that is already threatening populations around the world.
