Are we on track for a catastrophe, or a meltdown? This somewhat gnat-straining debate has emerged around new modeling, some of which suggests that a much-dreaded “worst case scenario” of five degrees celsius of warming by 2100 is less likely than previously thought, and some of which suggests exactly the opposite.

Ever since visiting Davos for the World Economic Forum last month, Trump has been obsessed with trees. He continued going on about them at the State of the Union on Tuesday night.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was criticized by scientists after he claimed that teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg should not criticize American fossil fuel investments until she studies economics in college.

“Exxon knew.” Thanks to the work of activists and journalists, those two words have rocked the politics of climate change in recent years, as investigations revealed the extent to which giants like Exxon Mobil and Shell were aware of the danger of rising greenhouse gas emissions even as they undermined the work of scientists.

Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that environmental protection efforts need to be bigger than just focusing on President Donald Trump. In an appearance on Meet The Press Sunday, Schwarzenegger and former Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about their efforts to bring awareness to climate change and environmental issues through World War Zero, a climate coalition that includes both men as members.

Greta Thunberg has announced at COP25 in Madrid that she realises she has a platform but that she will share it with the worlds most vulnerable people for whom climate change is a reality today. This press conference took place on the morning of 9th December 2019 and includes personal statements from representatives of indigenous peoples on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Greta Thunberg told cheering protesters today 'we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall' if they fail to take urgent action on climate change. The Swedish teen activist was addressing the crowd at a Fridays for Future protest in Turin, Italy.

For decades, the fossil fuel industry funded climate change denial campaigns aimed toward young people to sow seeds of doubt on climate science. As the climate crisis has worsened, it has made a subtle shift to what critics call "youthwashing.".

If we want to avoid the possibly catastrophic effects of climate change, we’re going to have to transition to renewable energy as soon as possible. That will mean jobs will be lost in the fossil fuel industry, but a new study out of Stanford University shows a lot of jobs would be created. The study was recently published in the journal One Earth.

I have had so many conversations or email exchanges with students in the last few years wherein I anger them by indicating that simply saying, "This is my opinion" does not preclude a connected statement from being dead wrong. It still baffles me that some feel those four words somehow give them carte blanche to spout batshit oratory or prose. And it really scares me that some of those students think education that challenges their ideas is equivalent to an attack on their beliefs. -Mick Cullen

Say you're a cord-cutter without a cable subscription. Where can you get your live political theater? CNN has you covered. CNN has announced that it will stream its upcoming Republican debate on Sept. 16 for free, meaning no cable account authentication will be required to view the debate online or via its mobile app.

Now all he has to do is jump in the race.

The cable answer to Fox News is slowly shrinking from the fight. Can digital outlets fill the void?

During Tuesday night's debate between the Democratic presidential candidates, CNN took a question from a young black man who asked via satellite, "Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?" I hated the way that question was asked.

A federal judge has ordered Kentucky's Democratic governor to weigh in on whether altered marriage licenses issued by Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis' office are valid. Davis opposes same-sex marriage for religious reasons. She spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of a federal court order. When she got out of jail, she changed the licenses to remove her name and to say they were issued under the authority of a federal judge.

CBS hosted the second Democratic debate at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa on November 14. In it, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Martin O’Malley went head-to-head. The debate began at 9 p.m. EST and was moderated by John Dickerson, Nancy Cordes, Kathie Obradovich, and Kevin Cooney. A main focus in the debate were the recent attacks in Paris and ISIS’ role in the terror.

The DNC comes under fire for Saturday's low viewership.

When cord cutting naysayers try to argue that killing your cable TV subscription is a bad idea, they often point out that you won’t save money if you subscribe to all the major streaming services instead of getting all your channels through Comcast, Charter or Time Warner Cable. However, saving money isn’t the real point of cord cutting. The real reason to cut the cord is to simply give yourself real choices.

Who among us has not felt the affront? Macadamia nuts arrive in a bag, not on a dish, and something shrivels in the soul. Are we animals? Did we execute the challenging task of being born insanely wealthy only to eat in-flight snacks from a bag? We did not. And that is why, when Korean Air heiress Cho Hyun-ah was confronted by a bag of nuts on a flight out of New York in December 2014, she became enraged and forced the plane back to the gate.
