Pensacola News Journal: With the start of a new term, Gov. Rick Scott faces a fresh opportunity to confront the gravest environmental threat of our time: climate change. But with Florida widely regarded as Americas ground zero for global warming, the state is moving in the wrong direction.

Farmington Daily Times: On today's editorial pages we are publishing a point-counterpoint in response to a piece written by energy columnist Marita Noon that ran last week. Unfortunately, the two columns running today illustrate an increasingly common tendency to devolve into political polarization -- "climate change deniers" versus "alarmists."

But if hurricanes become more intense, as many climate researchers expect, the study found severe outages could occur in areas that now suffer relatively few storm landfalls - such as New York, Philadelphia and Hartford, Conn. "Hartford [is] not some place you'd think of...
