No US-India deal on climate change

BBC: US President Barack Obama's "historic" climate deal with China last November raised expectations that his visit to India would produce something similar. The world's largest carbon emitter, China, announced for the first time that its emissions would peak by 2030. The second biggest polluter, the US, said it would cut carbon emissions by 26%-28% by 2025 compared with 2005 levels. All eyes were then on the third largest carbon emitter, India, for a similar commitment that could set the stage...

Nature World: The drastic decline of a group of early Mesoamericans from the region around Canton was due, at least in part, to climate change, according to a new study.

And by 1150 AD, this population was completely wiped out, and researchers are just beginning to understand why. Described in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers...

A helicopter equipped with magnetic sensors flew over three plots of Pennsylvania state lands hunting for signs of forgotten oil and gas wells last summer at a cost of about $2,000 an hour. Meanwhile, a promising tool that had potential to be part of the research mission was parked in Pittsburgh: an unmanned six-foot-long helicopter that can fly for an hour and a half on $3 worth of gas.
On climate change, "not a scientist" not enough for some US Republicans

Reuters: Rick Perry's farewell speech to the Texas legislature listed the accomplishments expected from an outgoing Republican governor of the country's largest oil-producing state. But his Jan. 15 speech also did something less predictable: touting his environmental record, from lowering Texas' carbon emissions to turning the state into a global leader in wind energy production. "We have expanded our economy while protecting our environment," said Perry, who is openly exploring a second White House run...
