Wisconsin Gazette: Activists in May put their bodies on the line -- across railroad tracks, in front of power plants and at the bottom of mining pits -- to demand that the world break free from fossil fuels. The global climate justice movement is rising fast, said environmental activist and author Naomi Klein. But so are the oceans. So are global temperatures. This is a race against time.

Grist: Imagine for a second how tough it is to get 187 nations to agree on anything.

Climate Home: US presidential hopeful Donald Trump says he will renegotiate the UN`s new climate deal if he comes to power in early 2017. In an exclusive interview with Reuters, the likely Republican nominee for the White House said the 2015 deal agreed by 195 countries was unfair on the US.
