New York Magazine: The White House released an exhaustive and ominous report on climate change this week that attributed a host of destructive weather patterns to rising temperatures and stated "climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present."

Climate change not fully to blame for melting sea ice: Study
