Climate Central: To say Teddy Roosevelt was a wise man is an understatement. At the turn of the 20th century, in a time of rapidly increasing industrialization and the rapacious plundering of the natural world, Roosevelt got it. The giant sequoias tucked away in the folds of Californias Sierra Nevada mountains could have been a source for millions of wood planks. Instead, theyre the source of millions of memories and a reflection on what it means to be human, thanks to efforts of conservationists, including...

Financial Post: We need to talk about climate change. That was the headline on an article by Eric Holthaus in Slate magazine earlier this month as the Fort McMurray fire disaster raged. Holthaus is a U.S. meteorologist who in 2013 gave up air travel after he said he once broke down in tears at the airport over climate and decided he just couldnt fly any more.
