Bangor Daily News: Only an appreciation of nature as a collection of specific threatened habitats, rather than as an abstract thing that is dying, can avert a complete denaturing of the world. This observation by writer Jonathan Franzen nicely captures the challenge of understanding climate changes impacts on nature. As Franzen also notes, climate change is so big that its everybodys -- and nobodys -- problem. To initiate change, we need to understand its impacts on a human scale. In an effort to communicate...

Kerry shared that as a former member of the Navy, he was deployed in Southeast Asia, stationed in Vietnam specifically during his second tour.

Reuters: This year many of us have increased our advocacy on this issue. And last month, companies responsible for a fifth of the world's oil and gas supply in the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) threw their support behind a new global agreement at the forthcoming UN talks in Paris. For oil and gas companies to take such a stance has been described as "unusual" -- and even "unprecedented".
