Campaign 2016 Why It Matters Climate Change.JPEG-050cc.jpg

FILE - In this July 21, 2016, file photo, the sun sets beyond visitors to Liberty Memorial as the temperature hovers around 100 degrees in Kansas City, Mo. It’s as if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump live on two entirely different Earths: one warming, one not. Clinton says climate change “threatens us all,” while Trump tweets that global warming is “mythical” and repeatedly refers to it as a “hoax.” Measurements and scientists say Clinton’s Earth is much closer to reality.

FILE - This handout photo, taken Aug. 17, 2005, file photo, provided by the US Geological Survey/Princeton University shows an American pika. A new study shows populations of the rabbit-like animal known as the American pika are vanishing in many mountainous areas of the West as climate change alters habitat. The U.S. Geological Survey research unveiled Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016, found ranges of the mountain-dwelling herbivore are decreasing in southern Utah, northeastern California and in the Great Basin that covers most of Nevada.

In this Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2016 photo, thousands of dead and decaying fish are washing ashore as they float up Waackaack Creek on the morning tide in Keansburg, N.J. State environmental officials say the scores of dead peanut bunker fish were likely chased into the Raritan Bay by other fish. Once there, they apparently were killed off by low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. (Robert Sciarrino/NJ Advance Media via AP)

The next three Olympics are headed for relatively calmer ports of call in South Korea, Japan and China following the organizational drama surrounding the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia and the just completed Summer Games in Brazil, but challenges remain, especially when it comes to finances and generating enthusiasm among home audiences.
