Independent: Sir David Attenborough is calling on global leaders to step-up their actions to curb climate change, saying that they are in denial about the dangers it poses despite the overwhelming evidence about its risks. The TV naturalist said those who wield power need to use it: Wherever you look there are huge risks. The awful thing is that people in authority and power deny that, when the evidence is overwhelming and they deny it because its easier to deny it much easier to deny its a problem and...

'The evidence is overwhelming' David Attenborough hits out at climate change deniers

Express: The naturalist said that it was "silly" to play down the issue of climate change in an interview with Sky News. The 88-year-old said: Wherever you look there are huge risks. The awful thing is that the people in authority and power deny that when the evidence is overwhelming. "They deny it because it's easier to deny it. "It's a very major, serious problem facing humanity but at the same time it would be silly to minimise the size of the problem. "Never in the history of humanity in the...

Forbes: People who worry about human-caused climate change are willing to pay higher energy bills to help stop it, but only up to 5 percent higher, or about $5 on the average American energy bill, according to a Harvard political scientist who has conducted a comprehensive survey of attitudes toward energy and climate for the last 12 years.

Can Pope Francis break deadlock on climate change?

Star-Ledger: Look back on 2014, and it seems like a pretty good year for climate activism. There was that massive rally in New York City's Central Park -- the largest climate march in history. The first-ever federal limits were imposed on carbon pollution by American power plants. And China finally agreed to limit its own emissions for the first time, singing a pact with the United States that could pave the way to a global pact. All cause for confetti. Make no mistake, though: This battle is still being...

Independent: In what is widely regarded as the last chance to save the world from the worst ravages of climate change, 192 nations have pledged to agree a global treaty at a two-week negotiating marathon in Paris at the end of 2015 setting themselves the most ambitious political task in history. The plan is for each country to commit to huge cuts in carbon emissions to give the world a reasonable chance of limiting global warming to 2C beyond which the consequences become increasingly devastating.
