Clean Technica: Where do you go after you`ve established yourself as one of the kings of late night TV? Perhaps instead of getting more people to laugh, you go on to try to make more people pay attention to one of the most pressing issues of our time, climate change. That`s what David Letterman will be doing, at least part of the time, now that he`s retired from the iconic Late Show.

Hill: Those who reject climate action have been increasingly reluctant to attack the underlying science, as overwhelming evidence points to the need to reduce manmade carbon pollution if we are to stop global warming. Instead, naysayers have adopted another line of argument: that the United States shouldn't take action because no one else is. A favorite punching bag has been China, which accounts for nearly 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Why should the United States reduce its carbon emissions,...

BBC: Divisions over money between rich and poor countries re-emerged as nations submitted their plans for tackling climate change to the UN.

HealthDay: Climate change is expected to bring about a host of health harms, and a new study suggests that a surprising addition to that list might be an increase in the number of low birth weight babies born in poor nations. The researchers looked at almost 70,000 births in 19 African nations. The births occurred between 1986 and 2010. The researchers hoped to assess the relationship between rainfall, temperature and birth weight. They found that that lower levels of rainfall and an increased number of very...
