Its targets vary by state, and its details can be confusing, so here's a myth-busting guide. The U.S. government plans Monday to release the final rule of its so-called Clean Power Plan, which aims to tackle climate change by reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions from its power plants. Senior administration officials gave a preview Sunday. Nationwide, the plan aims to cut these emissions...

National Geographic: Heres a fact that should be disturbing to anyone concerned about our imperiled forests: The pace of deforestation has accelerated so rapidly over the past 200 years that today our planet harbors only one-quarter of its original old-growth forest--i.e., forest that has never been logged or cleared.
