LA Times: Starting Monday, diplomats and scientists, activists and heads of state at the 2015 U.N. climate change conference in Paris will scramble to reach the first truly global agreement on the greatest problem the planet has ever faced. It will make for compelling headlines, but it's not the real story. Because that already happened. Think back to Copenhagen in 2009 and the last of the great U.N. climate gatherings. There too the world watched expectantly, only to see negotiations break down. No firm...

Guardian: Was the Syrian civil war partly caused by climate change? Prince Charles, for one, seems to think so. There is very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, he told Sky News, adding that climate change is having a huge impact on conflict and terrorism. The Prince is not alone on this one: he joins a chorus of voices making similar claims. In the US President Obama, Al Gore, and the democratic presidential...

New York Times: As world leaders assemble in Paris for the Monday launch of the 21st round of negotiations aimed at improving on the ineffective 1992 climate change treaty, Ive assembled some worthwhile reading on the risks attending human-driven climate change and a host of prescriptions worth considering. None will be easy to achieve. As for the risks, Justin Gillis has a helpful set of basic climate change questions and answers. (You can ask more questions here.)

The Paris climate summit is a real test of humanity

Guardian: This morning I visited the place de la République, in many ways the beating heart of Paris. Its where people here chose to place their memorial to the victims of the attacks two weeks ago, and there is still a huge crowd, gathered round the central monument in intense, almost ritual silence, taking in the thousands of pictures, candles, flowers and messages left by wellwishers. Just a few steps away, a different ritual was taking place. Thousands of Parisians, denied by police security concerns...
