But NASA’s Dr. Two of the world’s biggest aid groups admitted that the emergency response from aid agencies and the U.N. was so flawed that it allowed anything between 50,000 and 100,000 people to die. A senior Obama administration official says the White House will reject a Canadian company’s plan to build an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas An expert in school shootings analyzes the tragedy of Jaime Gonzalez in Browndville, Texas The severe droughts in Texas this year killed most of the state’s mistletoe crops, jeopardizing Christmas celebrations throughout the country. “The dangerous conditions behind the Kingston disaster were not isolated.” The big picture is that we know the planet is warming, humans are causing it, and there is a substantial risk to continuing on our current path.

According to the Texas Forest Service, as many as 500 million trees in the state — roughly 10 percent of the forests there — have been killed within the last year alone as a result of 2011′s bizarre lack of rainfall.
