Washington Post: I just think we have much bigger risks, Donald Trump told us last week. We had asked the Republican presidential candidate about human-caused climate change, a phenomenon in which he said he is not a big believer. Dont good business leaders hedge against risks, spending something now to avoid potentially negative outcomes later? I think our biggest form of climate change we should worry about is nuclear weapons, he responded. Trump is not alone among Republicans in citing other scary problems...

I needed some strong convincing from my wife when it came time for us to make it. Most of my reluctance was self-interested: I liked my life well enough, and I didnt want to change it. My wife talked about feeling a biological imperative, which I had no answer for. Who was I to stand in the way of something like that? I signed on. But there is a whole other potential person...

ClimateCentral: Even as the number of Americans relying on the Colorado River for household water swells to about 40 million, global warming appears to be taking a chunk out of the flows that feed their reservoirs. Winter storms over the Rocky Mountains provide much of the water that courses down the heavily tapped waterway, which spills through deep gorges of the Southwest and into Mexico. But flows in recent decades have been lighter than would have been expected given annual rain and snowfall rates - and...

Inquisitr: There is an entire world beneath the soil, an intricate network of fungi that stretch for miles in immense communities. In a forest, this fungi plays a critical role in the ecosystem and may help scientists map the effect climate change has on the Earth`s precious trees. The underground forest of fungi can be mapped from space, and NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has gotten involved in an exhaustive attempt to map these huge fungal networks using satellites, United Press International reported....
