New York Times: As world leaders assemble in Paris for the Monday launch of the 21st round of negotiations aimed at improving on the ineffective 1992 climate change treaty, Ive assembled some worthwhile reading on the risks attending human-driven climate change and a host of prescriptions worth considering.
