New York Times: Jay Famiglietti, one of the authors of an important new study on the rapid depletion of aquifers under the Tigris and Euphrates river basins, has posted an excellent overview of the work and its context for policy, and noted that he and other authors are preparing for a two-week "water diplomacy" tour to discuss their findings in the affected region. The project shows how improving systems for observing and analyzing environmental trends are brightening prospects for better management of resources...

Huffington Post: Tonight, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) will offer the rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union address. This isn't a casual designation: Top Republicans and outside commentators are hailing the young Senator as the very future of the GOP.

The Nation: President Obama's new push on climate change will be an "aggressive campaign built around the use of his executive powers to sidestep congressional opposition,' which makes some sense: Republicans in the House of Representatives are so stridently against taking action on global warming they even killed an amendment in 2011 that simply stated humans are driving climate change.
