Andriy OnufriyenkoGetty Images We often talk about the ways climate change affects the Earth (think: polar bears teetering on shrinking ice caps) but forget to consider its impact on our own health. Recently, an urgent report from several federal agencies emphasized this connection, including both straightforward consequences (such as that warmer oceans mean more frequent and intense hurricanes) and indirect hazards like how extreme weather events knock out medical services, making it harder t...

Death in this case. >> yeah. let me jump in. youre hitting on this point. none of the conversation among the legal community here has been about a murder charge, which would be, oh, did you set out to murder him? all the conversation about manslaughter or negligent homicide. today at this hour, we have much more information than we had yesterday because as you mentioned, there is a court order that releases a small amount of information that the d.a. requested. and i got to tell you, looking at ...

14-year-old son says what happens, im afraid of the police and the police are afraid of me. how is this solution going to work? a 14-year-old boy. >> heartbreaking. >> this is where the problem is. >> yeah, that is absolutely heartbreaking. congressman, this broke about 24 hours ago, the decision in the eric garner case. and its really something everyone here in new york is talking about and really all over the country. you are there on capitol hill. sometimes, you know, it could be in a whole o...

To die for breaking that law there is no excuse for it. >> dana, lets also listen to conservative media, as well. take a listen. >> from looking at the video, the grand jurys decision here is totally incomprehensible. >> it ought to have been an indictment for some sort of manslaughter. >> yes, he should not have resisted, but all americans, every one of us should pity mr. garner and his family. he did not deserve what happened to him, and i think officer pantaleo and every other american police...

Secret. it is a crime to negligently or recklessly use force that results in somebodys death. and that means to disregard a substantial risk. in this case, we seem to have the intentional application of a choke hold, and the officer should have been on notice over the last four years that was likely to pose a substantial risk of serious injury or death. i think the case, you know, could have been charged. could have been indicted. i cant say that im, you know, shocked or surprised, certainly, th...

About police justification, but we dont know whether they were instructed on those violent crime charges, nor whether he recommended any charge to this grand jury. >> i would be curious to see if the d.a. is going to make another public statement. it appears from the public statement he did release that he does not feel he is authorized to make any other statement except what is in the court order. i think he may not tell us. i would be hesitant to read into this order the conclusion that he did...

Look at these cases, it takes two things to bring indictment. you have to have the will as a prosecutor to bring the case and you have to have the evidence. everyones seen the evidence in this case. more than enough to support an indictment. and i think what the prosecutor didnt have was the will to bring it. i think youre going to see a different outcome here with the federal review thats going on. different than what youre likely to see in ferguson. in this case, the justice department has the...
