Weather Network: Whether you believe humans are contributing to it or not, climate change is happening, temperatures are rising and ice caps are melting. At this point, even if we limit global temperature rise to 2oC, studies suggest sea levels will still rise by several feet. Our civilization is in many ways a coastal one, so when the seas rise, and stay risen, that'll do a real number on world populations and economies. Here are five metropolises in climate change's crosshairs. Bangkok Thailand's...

In a move which could anger Tory backbenchers, the Prime Minister increased the amount of aid money going to the International Climate Fund by around 50 per cent. Britain will put 5.8 billion into the fund between April 2016 and March 2021 far higher than the 3.87bn spent over the last five years. Mr Cameron said the commitment...

New Democrats released their plan to address climate change, one that would allow provinces to opt out if their efforts to minimize carbon emissions are as good or better than those of the federal government.

Nation: Jeb Bush may not be very good at running for president. But he has a remarkable talent for wedging his foot in his mouth. The former front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination-who struggles to get above single digits in the polls-has frequently played the fool on the 2016 campaign trail.
