LCV: Climate change will hurt GOP appeal to young voters

Hill: A major green group is warning that failure by Republicans to offer solutions for climate change could entrench the GOP's deficit with young voters for decades to come. Navin Nayak, the League of Conservation Voters's senior vice president of campaigns, likened the challenge Republicans face with young voters to the challenge they face with Hispanics. The GOP has historically failed to win both demographic groups, and the party's deficit with Hispanics in particular -- one of the nation's fastest-growing...

Associated Press: There's a dangerous but basic equation behind the killer Yarnell Hill, Arizona wildfire and other blazes raging across the West this summer: More heat, more drought, more fuel and more people in the way are adding up to increasingly ferocious fires. Scientists say a hotter planet will only increase the risk. More than two dozen wildland fires are burning from Alaska to New Mexico, fueled by triple-digit temperatures and arid conditions. In the Arizona mountain town of Yarnell, a blaze apparently...

ABC: New research shows that global warming is turning the far west desert green. Findings by the CSIRO reveal that rising levels of carbon dioxide make plants in arid regions like Broken Hill grow bigger leaves. Research scientist Dr Randall Donohue says outback foliage initially expands to trap more water during dry periods. He says the process is extended when increased levels of carbon dioxide actually begin to fertilise the plants. "CO2 is needed by plants, it's a main source of food...

Warren Reporter: I recently watched as President Obama laid out his plan to stem the rapid effects of climate change. While I listened to the president, I couldn`t help but to be reminded of Keep America Beautiful`s "Crying Indian" advertisement in the 1970s. As Iron Eyes Cody shed a tear after seeing all the damage caused by litterbugs, the narrator said, "People start pollution. People can stop it." It was true then, and it certainly is true now. Scientists began to recognize the dangers of burning fossil...

Industry condemning climate change push

Associated Press: President Barack Obama's push to fight global warming has triggered condemnation from the coal industry across the industrial Midwest, where state and local economies depend on the health of an energy sector facing strict new pollution limits. But such concerns stretch even to New England, an environmentally focused region that long has felt the effects of drifting emissions from Rust Belt states. Just ask Gary Long, the president of the Public Service Co. of New Hampshire, the state's largest...
