Climate Home: The death of a 79-year-old Texan judge could have radically changed the mood music around US president Barack Obamas beleaguered plan to make states slash greenhouse gas emissions. Antonin Scalia was one of five members of the Supreme Court of the United States to last week vote to stay implementation of the Clean Power Plan, which mandates emission cuts from power plants. With the death of Scalia -- a distinguished justice appointed by Ronald Reagan -- theres now a 4-4 ideological split...

But there is one small change each of us can do to play our part shifting our diets to be healthier and more environmentally sustainable. The type of food we choose to eat makes up a big part of our personal carbon footprint. The meat and dairy that make up 22 percent of developed world diets are responsible for emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases, particularly methane and nitrous...

Clean Technica: The sea level rise that will accompany unmitigated anthropogenic climate change will last for at least 10,000 years, according to new research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. What this means, is that many of the most highly populated areas of the globe - many of which are now expected to go under the waves over the next few hundred years - will still be underwater nearly 10 millennia from now. Even if emissions are rapidly curtailed and warming is kept below 2° Celsius (a very...

Age: It may not be apparent yet, but the most important and enduring legacy of President Barack Obama's two terms in the White House may prove to be the Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
