Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: America's children have lots to celebrate this holiday season with climate victories both at home and abroad. The global climate agreement reached in Paris will help reduce the health threats posed by climate change, including extreme temperatures, poor air quality and more frequent deadly extreme weather events.

CBC: If climate change is weighing on your mind this holiday season, especially after the signing of the Paris agreement, you're not alone.

Huffington Post: Last weekend, 195 nations reached a landmark agreement that will commit the world to limiting its greenhouse gas emissions. Throughout the two weeks of negotiations, we saw significant discussion about how investing in forests can be a low cost climate solution. Unfortunately, these discussions often focused on international forests, and assumed that U.S. forests' ability to sequester carbon will remain the same without any special action.
