Mother Jones: I think I found one!" I say, pointing at a small, round hole in the sand at the base of a cactus. "Nope. That's a little too small." I'm crouching in the middle of California's Mojave Desert, about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. I'm here with Ileene Anderson, a biologist with the Center for Biological Diversity, and two Sierra Club volunteers, and we're looking for tortoise burrows. The warm December sun brings out the desert colors: green creosote bushes, fading red wildflowers, golden...

Grist: In the wake of the U.K.s vote to leave the European Union, environmentalists have been in a bit of a tizzy. The Paris climate deal, negotiated late last year, needs ratification from 55 parties accounting for at least 55 percent of global emissions before it kicks into effect -- and the 28-member EU, which must ratify as a bloc, makes up the third-largest slice of the emissions pie. But things are tumultuous in Brussels these days, raising concerns that the EU might not manage the task anytime...
