Al Jazeera: After years of fruitless negotiations, world leaders finally reached an agreement to combat climate change, agreeing to cap greenhouse gases in an effort to slow down global warming. It was very interesting to see this mirror between what politicians were saying and what the media were saying. They all echoed a very similar narrative - they were using very, very similar terms, language, frames. The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, or COP21, set a target of limiting carbon...

Reuters: New York City's museum devoted to climate change has no walls, no admission fee and no exhibits. In fact, it doesn't exist yet. It's an idea that its planners, led by Miranda Massie, attorney-turned-museum director, are hoping to make a reality. They are eyeing an opening in 2020, with pop-ups and publicity between now and then to get it off the ground. Yet, despite growing pressure to cut planet-warming emissions and the new historic global accord on climate change reached in Paris last weekend,...

New Scientist: To casual observers, the breathless headlines and scenes of joyous relief from within the Le Bourget complex in Paris after days of talks might suggest that climate change has been solved. They could be forgiven for concluding job done and perhaps switching off just at the point when a wave of public interest is required to transform the rhetoric of the deal into reality. But in the climate-change hall of mirrors, a historic agreement is never quite what it seems. As many observers pointed...
