InsideClimate: The typical scene at New England ski resorts over Christmas vacation--madhouses filled with students as young as 2 or 3 packing onto bunny hills while parents head to higher elevations for their first runs of the season--has been replaced by a sobering reminder that climate change is already taking a bite out of winter. Most mountains in the northeast this December are covered in brown, not white. Killington Ski Resort in central Vermont has 24 of its 155 trails open. Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine...

Climate Home: What do US presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the Prince of Wales and pop star Charlotte Church have in common? Theyve all linked climate change to the Syrian refugee crisis and drawn scorn for it. To critics, blaming global warming diminishes the responsibility of people, whether President Bashar Al-Assad, Daesh or Western leaders who failed to intervene.

GlobalPost: The phrase climate change often summons images of exhaust-spewing trucks and coal plants blackening the skies. But theres a lesser-known source of emissions that the public should fear alongside traffic jams and filthy factories. And if this top polluter isnt reined in, humanitys efforts to ward off climate change disaster -- exemplified by the recent 196-country United Nations agreement in Paris -- could be doomed.
