Grist: Sen. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) is angling to turn herself into a Republican leader on climate change - at least in part to fight a 2016 reelection challenge from a climate-hawk Democrat. On Sunday, Ayotte became the first GOP senator to express support for President Obama`s Clean Power Plan, which will rein in CO2 emissions from electric utilities.

Grist: How should governments treat people who are forced to migrate due to climate change? That question is on the working agenda for the upcoming Paris climate talks, at least sort of - and thats a good thing. As it stands, theres no clear definition of what, exactly, a forced climate migrant is; nor is there an international legal framework to deal with the mass movement of people (and, sooner than you might think, entire nations) displaced because of global warming. Paris could go a long way toward...

EcoWatch: Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz told Glenn Beck in a new interview that climate change is a religion, not a scientific position. According to the Texas senator, "global warming alarmists" (or the people who believe in climate change) don`t have evidence to prove that the planet is warming. What? It`s a comment so baffling that you have to watch the exchange for yourself (via Right Wing Watch): The card-carrying climate-denier was referring to his recent grilling of Sierra Club President...
