What Antonin Scalia's death means for Obama's climate plans

Vox: The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will have endless political and policy ramifications. But here's a big one: President Obama's plan to tackle global warming is in far less legal peril than it was just three days ago. Last Thursday, the Supreme Court surprised everyone by voting 5-4 to issue a stay and delay enforcement of Obama's Clean Power Plan, a major EPA rule to cut carbon-dioxide emissions from the electricity sector. That suggested the Court's five conservative justices...

Climate change may affect flight duration

Hindu: The study calculates that a transatlantic aircraft will spend an extra 2,000 hours in the air every year. Flights from London to New York could take longer and be more expensive in the future due to the effects of climate change, according to a new study that may have implications for the aviation industry. By accelerating the jet stream - a high-altitude wind blowing from west to east across the Atlantic - climate change will speed up eastbound flights but slow down westbound flights, the...

Why don't we treat climate change with rigor give to terror attacks?

Guardian: Extreme weather, water shortages and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like Zika are all having very real effects on everyday realities globally, and they are all linked to a fast-heating earth system. Yet we still dont treat climate change with the reverence we reserve for something like a terrorist attack. Maybe the blame goes deeper, into our very natures: evolution did not design our bodies to treat climate change with urgency. Evolutionary responses favor real-time threats, not those...

This climate scientist has tried really hard to get a date

Guardian: Seth Burgess has, literally, travelled to the ends of the Earth to find a date. Along the way he has endured attacks of giant flesh-eating bee-flies, paddled a raft 60 miles in driving Siberian rain, braved volcanoes in Alaska, and inhaled polluted air in China for weeks on end, all the while hauling pounds of rocks. And all in the name of Science. The date he seeks plays extremely hard to get. In Siberia, Seth and his colleagues whacked off rocks from cliffs in dozens of mosquito-infested...
What Scalia Death Means For Climate Change

Climate Central: Just days after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling clouded the future of a new United Nations climate pact, the passing of one of its justices has boosted the pact's chances of succeeding. Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia died at a resort in Texas on Saturday. Scalia, 79, was the court's conservative leader and his death means it is now more likely that key EPA rules that aim to curb climate pollution from the power industry will be upheld. Here's how the sudden shakeup of the court could affect...
