Grist: Sometimes being a parent feels like a tedious vigil against death. The other day, when I asked my 4-year-old not to show me her somersault skills at the top of an unusually steep flight of stairs, she looked at me with wounded confusion. "Why?" she asked. "Well," I said, "because there`s a small chance you might fall, and you would land on the stairs, so you would keep falling, faster and faster, and every time you hit the ground you might break a bone, and maybe the broken end of your arm...

Economic Times: Climate change is a "pressing" global challenge and the poor people are "most adversely" affected by it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said and suggested a shift of the discourse on the issue from "climate change to climate justice." "In my view, the most adversely affected by climate change are the poor and the downtrodden. When a natural disaster strikes, they are hit the hardest.

Bloomberg: President Barack Obama's historic trip to the rapidly warming Alaskan Arctic could help put pressure on international negotiators to successfully ink a global deal to fight climate change at a year-end summit in Paris.

Forbes: It is understandable that people discussing global warming focus on air temperatures. Lower atmospheric temperatures are shown on the news and weather reports every day. We walk around in the air. We breathe it in. We talk about how hot its been this summer, how warm last winter was, or how this is the hottest day on record. But global warming is all about water. Water, not the atmosphere, drives the weather, and drives climate. The atmosphere is mostly affected by the water on Earth, not the...

Hill: President Obama is pointing toward Alaska as tangible evidence of the immediate danger climate change presents the U.S. This is all real, Obama said Saturday in his weekly address. This is happening to our fellow Americans right now. In fact, Alaskas governor recently told me that four villages are in imminent danger and have to be relocated, he said, citing Gov.
