Al Jazeera: After years of fruitless negotiations, world leaders finally reached an agreement to combat climate change, agreeing to cap greenhouse gases in an effort to slow down global warming. It was very interesting to see this mirror between what politicians were saying and what the media were saying. They all echoed a very similar narrative - they were using very, very similar terms, language, frames. The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, or COP21, set a target of limiting carbon...

Gearing up to fight climate change

Merced Sun-Star: One of the reasons society has so many rules and regulations is because its so difficult for most of us to do the right thing on our own. Take driving, for example. Most of us know that cars and trucks are responsible for 40 percent of our states air pollution. Most of us can see that we live in a bowl, that traps emissions in our air. Most will even admit that creating all that exhaust contributes to global warming, which is not-so-slowly destroying our planet (even Exxon admits it). And any...

Toronto Star: Have I told you about the time that I almost got punched in the face by a Newfoundlander? I lead a quiet life, so this doesnt happen to me often. But I was talking to a friend of mine, who comes from Corner Brook, and I said something very wrong. Wrong enough that I began to fear for my safety. For some reason we were talking about the sorry state of the fishing industry, and the impact it had on various members of her family. It was then that I made the awful mistake of suggesting that Newfoundlanders...

Press Herald: Twenty-five springs ago, U.S. Sen. George J. Mitchell of Maine put the finishing touches on a book called World on Fire, subtitled Saving an Endangered Earth. Mitchell had worked extensively on amendments to the Clean Air Act since he joined the Senate in 1980 and now, as majority leader hed just completed months of negotiating to get a reauthorized Clean Air Act through the Senate. The book, which addressed what Mitchell called the gathering environmental tragedy, sent out a clarion call...

Four ways to gear up on climate change

Sacramento Bee: This state is a national model for environmental action. But anyone who drives during rush hour knows that Californians are a long way from the finish line on climate change. Californians drive 330 billion miles per year, the vast majority on gasoline and diesel engines whose exhaust generates about 40 percent of the states contribution to global warming. Just getting those greenhouse gas-spewing motorists into cleaner cars, let alone mass transit, would make a huge difference in air quality...
