Desmog: To no ones surprise, theres been an awfully wide range of responses to what caused the catastrophic Fort McMurray wildfires. Some blame climate change. Others peg it on the El Nio and forest management techniques. Still more suggest that nows simply not the time to be having such a conversation. But the one thing that appears to unite all sides is our alleged complicity in it as North American consumers. For instance, the National Posts Jen Gerson argued in a May 5 piece: We are...

Focus: Nuke plan diverts billions from climate change

Sandiego Union Tribune: Last month, Californias largest utility unveiled a deal with environmental groups to scrap Diablo Canyon, the states last nuclear power plant, by 2025. Regulators may get details later this month. The idea seems absurd, given the states campaign to combat climate change. Replacing the nukes output -- cheap, zero-carbon power for 1.7 million homes -- can only hurt the planet, as well as cost consumers billions of dollars that could otherwise go toward displacing fossil fuels. So the only...

But agricultural methods pose some of the biggest challenges. Over the past half century, the world has moved increasingly to industrial agriculture--attempting to maximize efficiency through massive, often inhumane livestock operations; turning...

Guardian: On a hot and lazy afternoon in Palm Beach, the only sign of movement is the water gently lapping at the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, the private club that is the prize of Donald Trumps real estate acquisitions in Florida. Trump currently dismisses climate change as a hoax invented by China, though he has quietly sought to shield real estate investments in Ireland from its effects.
