Southland Times: Southland could have its own goals for combating climate change - but getting councils on board could prove challenging. Australian, British and Swiss scientists argue in an article for science journal Perspectives that global targets to try and limit global warming to 2degC do not adequately address the urgency of the need to cut back carbon emissions. They say individual regions should set their own targets, as not every country will be affected by climate change in the same way. STEPHEN...

Grist: While we don`t generally advocate picking on kids over here, a hearty pat on the back to Bernie "Socialism!" Sanders for taking down a teenaged climate denier. Mashable reports on an event at a high school in Des Moines, Iowa, Thursday, at which a skeptical #teen addressed the presidential candidate: "From looking at the evidence I`ve seen the last few years," she said, "...
