Cap Radio: A crucial part of California's ecosystem has almost disappeared. Mountain meadows act like natural reservoirs, storing and cleaning water. But they may have another benefit -- capturing greenhouse gases. Scientists are studying if restoring meadows can play a small part in combating climate change. When you imagine a meadow, you think about soggy ground with tall green grasses and maybe a shallow stream running through it. It's unlikely you'd imagine the place we're walking through now.

Climate Central: While much of the attention on a historic Paris climate meeting in the coming weeks will focus on the confounding task of trying to keep global warming below 2°C, or 3.6°F, a battle over another goal -- one that has been forgotten by many -- will be playing out in the negotiating halls.
