InsideClimate: As the final weeks tick down to international climate treaty talks in Paris, social scientists are releasing a bevy of new data demonstrating the breadth and diversity of support for action on global warming. Four new climate polls were released last week alone. They looked at global warming opinions in 40 countries, the impact of Pope Francis' recent climate campaign and Americans'--and in one case, specifically African-Americans'--views on climate change, the Clean Power Plan and global treaty...

Guardian: With 100 days to go until the Paris climate summit, the EU's climate chief has warned that progress in thrashing out a draft negotiating text is proceeding too slowly and urgently needs to be stepped up. Miguel Arias Caete, the EU's climate commissioner, said that the 85-page draft agreement currently being poured over by diplomats still contains far too many bracketed options that need to be rapidly narrowed. "In the negotiating rooms, progress has been painfully slow. The technical talks...

Rutland Herald: I have had it with climate change deniers. The arguments are just reflexive now, and sometimes asinine, like the Fox News interviewer who insisted that there shouldnt be volcanos on the moon because we havent been burning any fossil fuels there.

Bloomberg: A typhoon that forced at least 900,000 people to evacuate their homes in the Philippines highlighted the stakes for envoys at United Nations climate talks as a rift opened over how to fight global warming. The storm named Hagupit was the third of its kind to strike the island nation in as many years during the annual round of UN talks aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Last years Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,300 people. Developing countries fear storms like Hagupit will become more intense...
