Boston Globe: The Northeast is bearing the brunt of climate change in the nation, assaulted by heat waves, torrential rains, and flooding that are the result of human action, according to a federal report released Tuesday. Over the past century, temperatures in Northeastern states have risen by 2 degrees Fahrenheit, and if heat-trapping gases increase at current rates, warming could spike as much as 10 degrees by the 2080s, prolonging bouts of extreme heat, taxing electrical systems, and disrupting ecosystems....

Washington Times: Republicans vowed Tuesday to fight back against the Obama administration`s regulatory agenda, dismissing the White House`s massive new climate change report as nothing more than a "political document intended to frighten Americans." The 840-page "National Climate Assessment" paints a bleak, almost apocalyptic future for America, warning of severe droughts, rising sea levels, water shortages and other catastrophic consequences if global warming isn`t fully confronted.
