Grist.org It's go time! Obama is headed to Copenhagen and has announced provisional targets for cutting US greenhouse gas emissions (contingent on Congress getting their sh** together). What will the world do when it doesn't have to whine about total climate inaction from the U.S.?

www.grist.org
After keeping us on pins and needles for weeks, Barack Obama finally decided that he will attend the Copenhagen climate talks. Better yet, he's bringing a CO2 emissions reduction target. The American prez will swing by Copenhagen on his way to Oslo where he'll pick up his Nobel Peace Prize.

Grist.org Turns out even the IPCC's worst projections weren't dire enough. A new report shows climate change is happening faster, worser, and dire-er.

www.grist.org
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- the world’s foremost body for weighing and assessing climate science -- received a kick in the pants today from members who say the climate situation is much worse than the IPCC has so far reported.

Grist.org Michael Pollan and Joel Salatin have both lamented the lack of smaller slaughterhouses needed by farmers raising sustainable meats. In a Grist exclusive, Tom Laskawy examines whether Whole Foods' move into the meat-processing biz will help or squeeze out those small farmers it's out to assist.

www.grist.org
For years, small-scale poultry farmers have had trouble processing their birds for market. Grist has learned that Whole Foods is looking to solve just that problem. But will the retail giant's effort squeeze the very farmers it's designed to help?

To borrow a phrase from William Whewell, there is a ‘consilience of evidence... See More’ when it comes to the science of climate change: multiple, independent lines of evidence converging on a single coherent account. These forms of evidence are both observational (temperature records, ice core samples, etc) and theoretical (thermodynamics, atmospheric physics, etc). Together, these lines of evidence provide a conceptual and scientific backing to the theory of climate change caused by human greenhouse gas emissions that is simply absent for alternative theories, such as that there is no change or that the change is caused by something different.
