Scientific American: As go toucans, spider monkeys and tapirs, so goes the climate. Put another way, the hunting and poaching of tropical animals could change the face of rainforests such as the Amazon, diminishing their ability to store global carbon dioxide emissions by up to 20 percent. Those are the findings of research published Friday by a team of scientists at Sao Paulo State University in Brazil showing that the decline of large animals in tropical forests may be directly connected to the Earths ability...

Tampa Tribune: President Barack Obama claims the international community met the moment by agreeing to a climate change accord last weekend in Paris. He didnt mention that the more than 190 countries that signed the agreement are under no legal obligation to keep their promise to reduce carbon emissions.

A legally binding treaty among the...
