Guardian: Democratic senators staged a show of force at the Paris climate meeting on Saturday, pledging they had Barack Obamas back and would defend his agenda in a Republican-controlled Congress. The appearance by 10 Democratic senators, days after Congress voted to repeal new power plant rules, was intended to demonstrate solid political support for Obamas climate plan despite Republican claims to the contrary.

An unspoken option if climate talks fail: Geoengineering
2015-12-05 03:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: It's the option climate negotiators here are loath to talk about. What if they fail to curb global warming and the environment gets so dangerous that someone decides to do something drastic and play mad scientist?

Associated Press: The once black-and-white world of climate negotiations for poorer countries has evolved into many shades of gray at talks this week in Paris. For years, many in the developing world said richer countries created the global warming problem with their industrial emissions so it is up to them to clean it up -- a sticking point in past climate negotiations. But there's no way that global warming can be kept below the international goal of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial...
