National Public Radio: For the developing countries at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris, it's more than a chance to talk. It's a chance to be heard - and their representatives are taking advantage of the world stage by airing their grievances and proposing potential fixes. How these specific demands will be addressed is still up in the air (along with way too much carbon dioxide).

Scientists at Boston University, United States, have been taking a very different approach. Theyve been digging into centuries of data from diverse sources: museum collections, photographic archives and the diaries of field naturalists, among others.

The ice was scooped from a Greenland fjord and hauled to Paris as part of an installation by the visual artist Olafur Eliasson, best known for building waterfalls in New York City in 2008 and an artificial sky inside the Tate Modern gallery in London in 2003....
