      Uses backcasting from a process involving stakeholders including academics, NGOs, and the renewable energy industry. Uses carbon emission targets as starting point. Provides a perspective on current energy policy discussions that contrasts the IEA World Energy Outlook projections with more "realistic" projections without being overly optimistic. Uses conservative assumptions to modify projections based on business-as-usual scenarios. Focuses on regional and global scale and on all forms of energy production.

      This paper, which appeared in PNAS at the start of May, suggests that rice agriculture in Indonesia could suffer considerable damage as a result of long-term climate change. The researchers used a set of IPCC global climate models to look at how climate change could affect precipitation in Indonesia over the next 50 years. They found that the probability of harmful delays of more than 30 days could more than double by 2050.

      Perhaps unsurprising, but this paper by Raupach and coauthors shows that worldwide CO2 emissions increased more rapidly between 2000 and 2004 than predicted by even the worst case IPCC scenarios. The study shows that no region was decarbonizing its energy supply during this period and that CO2 emissions are accelerating worldwide, with China in the lead.
