Poliltico: It was never any surprise that a climate deal wouldnt cut emissions enough to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, what is surprising is that the debate is now about adopting an even more ambitious target -- 1.5 degrees. The goal is one that is practically impossible to reach because it would require countries to stop emitting greenhouse gases almost immediately.

FiveThirtyEight: During Keystone XLs seven-year review process, the pipelines political significance ballooned far beyond its measurable consequences. In partisan narratives, it was often framed as a fight pitting jobs against the climate and energy security against environmental concerns.
