Slate: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death at a remote Texas ranch has triggered a political earthquake and instantly changes the outlook for a host of high-profile issues the court is currently considering. But perhaps none of these are as consequential as the fate of the planet itself. As Climate Central's John Upton wrote, "in dying, Scalia may have done more to support global climate action than most people will do in their lifetimes.' Scalia's death comes just days after the Supreme Court...

When the court recently voted to suspend the Clean Power Plan -- the centrepiece of President Obama`s climate change efforts -- many worried the bill was in peril.

Vox: The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will have endless political and policy ramifications. But here's a big one: President Obama's plan to tackle global warming is in far less legal peril than it was just three days ago.

ScienceDaily: A common toxin used to kill yellow fever mosquito larvae -- the most prevalent transmitter of dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses -- is highly effective. While there are some fitness advantages to surviving adults, this is still an effective way to control the damaging health impacts of these mosquito-borne diseases, a new University of Florida study shows. Scientists and mosquito control officials want to kill mosquitoes during the larval, or juvenile stage, before they grow into adulthood and...

Climate Central: Just days after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling clouded the future of a new United Nations climate pact, the passing of one of its justices has boosted the pact's chances of succeeding. Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia died at a resort in Texas on Saturday. Scalia, 79, was the court's conservative leader and his death means it is now more likely that key EPA rules that aim to curb climate pollution from the power industry will be upheld. Here's how the sudden shakeup of the court could affect...
