The Summary for Policymakers of the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report was approved, and the full report accepted, by the IPCC on 30 March 2014.
The focus now seems to have shifted from reducing Greenhouse Gas emmissions to how we will adapt to the reality of Climate Change by attempting to minimise the risks asasociated with increasing temperatures.

Farmed salmon show full reproductive potential to invade wild gene pools and should be sterilised - according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).
This is particularly interesting the light of the recent escape of some 230,000 farmed Salmon in Bantry Bay.

After moving all of his data home to write up, biologist Billy Hinchen returned one afternoon to find that his laptop and all his backup hard drives had been stolen. All that remained was a disparate collection of data, spread around numerous small flash drives, email attachments and scribbled drawings that were difficult to piece together once the main bulk of information had been lost.
