New York Times: Secretary of State John Kerry urged Indonesia on Sunday to take steps to combat climate change, warning that failure to act would jeopardize the nation's resources and damage its economy. Warming seas, he said, could deal a severe blow to Indonesia's fishing industry, while powerful storms could buffet the country and rising seas may put much of Jakarta, the capital, under water.

Washington Post: In the most unlikely of political talk show face-offs, Bill Nye ("The Science Guy") will debate Tennessee Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn Sunday on climate change and what's up with recent weather in Sochi, Russia and the United States (not a joke). The exchange on "Meet The Press" promises the familiar spectacle of controversy.
