Washington Times: With congressional elections looming, President Obama increasingly is catering to a staunch part of his political base: environmental groups, hard-core opponents of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline and others who share the administrations lofty goals surrounding climate change. White House officials will meet Wednesday with billionaire activist Tom Steyer, who is poised to pour $100 million into campaigns of congressional Democrats to help pursue the climate change agenda that he and the president...

Independent: Global temperatures - from Australia to Alaska - hit an all-time record high for the month of May, driven by exceptionally warm sea-surface temperatures according to the US's leading climate organisation. The combined average temperatures for the land and ocean around the world was 0.74C higher than the 20th Century average of 14.8C for May, said the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
