The Short List

Warming oceans are contributing to global warming and unusual weather patterns.
Here's the biggest news you missed this weekend
From a dire climate report from the Trump administration to a blizzard threatening the Midwest, here's what to know from this holiday weekend.

U.S. impacts of climate change are intensifying, Trump admin says

A massive report issued by the Trump administration emphasizes the dire threat that human-caused global warming poses to the United States and its citizens. "Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities," researchers say in the report. The 1,600-page report, published Friday, details the climate and economic impacts U.S. residents will see if drastic action is not taken to address climate change. The last few years have smashed records for damaging weather in the United States, costing nearly $400 billion since 2015. In a worst-case scenario, the researchers say, climate change could deliver a 10 percent hit to the nation's GDP by the end of the century.

Major winter storm upends holiday weekend travel

Holiday travelers in the Upper Midwest scrambled Sunday to make it home ahead of a major winter storm threatening heavy snow , strong winds and travel headaches to a wide swath of the region including Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports. Widespread snow of 6 to 12 inches was expected across the area with up to 18 inches possible in parts of Iowa into Illinois, the National Weather Service warned. More than 755 arrivals and departures had been canceled at O'Hare as of Sunday afternoon, part of more than 1,000 flight cancellations  nationwide. "It will snow this afternoon and tonight, and the heavy winds will bring blizzard-like conditions," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Paul Walker said.

Trump says asylum seekers will wait in Mexico until courts approve

President Donald Trump said on Twitter Saturday that asylum seekers at the southern border will wait in Mexico while their claims are processed in U.S. courts. The president also threatened to close the southern border "if for any reason it becomes necessary." In the same tweet, Trump said that "there is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!" The president's tweets followed a Washington Post report Saturday that described a new agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that would allow asylum seekers to stay in Mexico. Incoming Mexican officials later offered a conflicting statement, saying no such deal has been made. 

European Union seals Brexit with United Kingdom

In a bittersweet landmark, European Union leaders gathered Sunday to seal an agreement on Britain's departure next year — the first time a member country will have left the 28-nation bloc. The leaders endorsed a withdrawal agreement that would settle Britain's divorce bill, protect the rights of U.K. and EU citizens hit by Brexit and keep the Irish border open. British Prime Minister Theresa May hailed the deal as the start of a new chapter for Britain, but European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the U.K.'s departure was a tragedy. 

Seven overtimes: A game for the ages between LSU, Texas A&M

It was Saturday night when LSU doused coach Ed Orgeron with Gatorade, and Sunday morning when the Tigers lost, seven overtimes and a combined 91 points later . LSU believed it had intercepted a pass to seal the win, only to have the call overturned. Once jubilant LSU players returned to the field for another play. Then Texas A&M scored a touchdown to send the game to overtime, the first of many in what became the highest-scoring game in Football Bowl Subdivision history. Texas A&M is now ranked No. 22 in the newest Amway Coaches Poll, while LSU is No. 14.
