EcoWatch: Every species adapts to its environment over time (or dies out trying), but climate change is simply happening too fast for most plants and animals to get their evolutionary bearings. Extreme weather, shifting seasons, changes in food availability and emerging diseases are just a small sampling of how global warming is wreaking havoc on wildlife--especially species that are already having a rough go of it. But there`s a minority of creatures actually thriving (for now, anyway) under the same conditions...

Quartz: When world leaders meet in Paris this December to agree on measures to fight climate change, they will be amply armed with information about how rising global temperatures affect the developed world.

New York Times: In recent years, Bill Nye, best known as The Science Guy, has become a must-book figure when a talk show, or President Obama for that matter, is looking for someone to challenge climate change denial. But however well intended, such efforts often seem to empower defenders of fossil fuels as much as those seeking a low-emissions energy future, given how name calling syncs with the nations broader, edge-driven political polarization.
