The decision to block construction of a controversial portion of the Dakota Access Pipeline could be overturned by Donald Trump. But it could also kindle new activism.  

The EPA aims for US car fleets to average 54.5 miles per gallon in 2025 – and seeks to keep Republicans from changing the policy in 2017. 

Walking along Cua Dai is like visiting a beach-restoration technology exhibition, with efforts ranging from stone seawalls to fiber-and-sand wave breakers.

In this edition: Talking with friends or neighbors about a polarizing issue may not be easy, but some experts see a need for more climate conversation; a lesson from Australia; the meaning of melting sea ice.

In this edition: What does the election of Donald Trump really mean for global progress on carbon emissions? Plus: For native Americans, pipeline sparks climate awakening; global carbon emissions flat for three years in a row.

Two-thirds of Americans are very or moderately interested in global warming. Yet two-thirds say they hear or talk about the issue only 'several times a year or less.'

Donald Trump won't be the first person to lead a Western democracy after a campaign dismissive of climate change. Canada and Australia have been there before.

Here's why the US election outcome became the worried focus of climate diplomats gathered in Morocco. And here's why they're not giving up on making headway against greenhouse emissions.

Barack Obama showed how a president can wield broad power over environmental policy. But with a majority of Americans concerned about ciimate change, other forces are also influential. 

Opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline has unified tribes from across America. Some here believe this protest is becoming something bigger – a turning point for both native Americans and the climate movement.

Former French President Sarkozy calls for trade penalties on the US if it pulls back from carbon-reduction commitments. But many prefer a 'carbon club' strategy that maximizes the benefits of participation.

In this edition: Whoever is president, individual Americans can still do something about emissions; the big tasks facing global climate diplomats in Marrakech; the hottest five-year span on record.

Speaking to delegates at UN climate-change summit, Secretary of State Kerry says marketplace forces and public opinion give the president-elect cause to reconsider his stance opposing the Paris agreement.

The US helped forge the Paris agreement for international reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Now the election of Donald Trump is resetting the climate-diplomacy landscape, and casting a Green Climate Fund for developing nations into doubt.

Possible changes include slashing EPA regulations and opening more federal lands to fossil fuel extraction.

Negotiators from around the world, gathered in Morocco, are trying to build on last year's landmark Paris agreement to cut carbon emissions. 

In this edition: a protest taps into native American religion and traditions; you can now measure your carbon 'ice-print;' why solar industry is against a vote 'for the sun' in Florida. 

Emission cuts that countries have pledged in Paris aren't expected to hit the goal of holding Earth's temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. This leaves a lot of work for a Morocco conference starting this week.
