It's hotter than ever hears climate change talks
Published on Nov 28, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ Arctic ice is melting at an, "alarming rate". That's at the core of a report by the World Meteorological Organisation. Its findings were presented to the global climate change talks in Doha.
The ice has melted to its lowest recorded level this year and add to that other weather extremes is proof that climate change is happening before our eyes underlines the report. It has meant warmer temperatures explained Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General the World Meteorological Organisation.
"So definitely the message here is that the trend is not only continuing, but accelerating with the respect to the melting of the Artic ice and this is linked to the change in the temperature."
That change has resulted in the first ten months of 2012 being the ninth warmest since records began in the mid-19th century. About 15,000 daily heat records were broken across the United States.
The WMO also reported on extreme weather conditions noting the Atlantic basin had an above average hurricane season for the third year running while Superstorm Sandy was particularly devastating.
The atmosphere has never been so polluted with concentrations of greenhouse gasses. They have risen constantly to reach record levels which will lead to continual climate change warns the WMO. The Geneva based organisation is a an agency of the United Nations.

Eurozone edges towards two-speed Europe
Published on Nov 28, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ The eurozone will move closer to creating a two-speed Europe if MEPs and the 17 countries using the single currency back plans by the European Commission for closer economic integration.
Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said: "In the next six to 18 months we are putting an ambitious work program including the start of the fiscal capacity for the euro area. We propose to rule this fiscal capacity initially in a convergence and competiviness instrument"
More centralised power at the European level and more money is the answer, according to Guntramm Wolff, deputy director at the Bruegel think-tank.
"I think it's a real step towards a two speed Europe, that's for sure. We are going to have a very strong eurozone budget which is quite big compare to eu budget, and we are going to have the right institutions for that, including some form of parlamentary control at eurozone level," he said.
The proposal for deeper economic ties goes hand-in-hand with plans for a European banking union, to be discussed at an EU summit in Brussels in two weeks time.
