Slate: Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, an evangelical Christian, has had quite a run lately. A few weeks back, she was featured in the first episode of the Showtime series The Years of Living Dangerously, meeting with actor Don Cheadle in her home state of Texas to explain to him why faith and a warming planet aren't in conflict. (You can watch that episode for free on YouTube; Hayhoe is a science adviser for the show.) Then Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people of 2014. Cheadle...

Mann's post-doctoral work (1) thesis introduced the "hockey stick," a graph showing the accelerated pace of warming, based on records of temperature over previous centuries.

Wichita Eagle: A group supporting the political views of retired billionaire investor Tom Steyer bought a full-page color advertisement Friday in The Wichita Eagle -- the Koch brothers' hometown newspaper -- inviting the brothers to a public debate on climate change. The brothers, Charles and David, don't plan to take him up on it. "We are not experts on climate change," wrote Koch spokeswoman Melissa Cohlmia in an e-mail Friday afternoon.
