ClimateWire: A growing number of leaders are openly acknowledging that a 2015 international agreement to avert catastrophic global warming will surely fall short of what's needed to achieve that goal. But another consensus is also forming among top U.S. experts: that shortfall is OK, as long as the deal puts all major climate polluters on a serious, upward and transparent path to cutting greenhouse gases. "The big question the public is going to ask is: Are all the major emitters participating? And are...

Guardian: Research into ways to engineer the Earths climate as a last-ditch response to global warming will be rendered unviable if the associated ethical issues are not tackled first, a leading environmental philosopher has warned.

Today, a new study in Nature makes an even more grim prognostication about the future of the species: Thanks to declining...

Guardian: Children in the US are traumatized by a school shooting roughly every week. Radical religion-fueled vigilantes have bombed abortion clinics and stalked and killed the doctors who perform them. But it's not gun rights or abortion that has Democrats and Republicans most at odds today it's the science of climate change.

Agence France-Presse: With 19 months to go until the deadline for a new, global pact on climate change, the United States' top negotiator cautioned on Thursday against unrealistic expectations, saying the deal "won't be perfect"."It is important that our expectations be ambitious, and also grounded in reality," special envoy Todd Stern told journalists in Paris, where he met officials of the French government, who will host the 2015 meeting where the agreement must be signed."I'm sure it won't be perfect," he added. "This...
