Nature: Indonesias Central Kalimantan province, a lightly populated swathe of Borneo, is a hotbed for greenhouse gases that are emitted through deforestation, family farming and industrial palm-oil production. Last year, these activities fuelled devastating fires that torched more than 400,000 hectares in the province and at least 2.5 million hectares across the developing nation. By some estimates, the fires released into the atmosphere more than twice as much carbon as Germany emits in a year. Calculating...

Now, on the eve of his final year in office, the cheers in Paris marked the culmination...

National Public Radio: With a Paris climate agreement just over a week old, President Obama is singling out the GOP on climate change. In an interview with NPRs Steve Inskeep, the president lambasted Republicans, whom he views as excessively contrarian on the issue. The Republican Party in the United States is perhaps literally the only major party in the developed world that is still engaging in climate denial, he said. Heres his explanation for calling the GOPs stance an outlier on climate, even compared with far-right...
