The United Nations Climate Summit starts in New York tomorrow. We take a look at two big environment-related stories: The Rockefeller family, oil heirs, are divesting from fossil fuels and California Governor Jerry Brown just signed six bills to get more electric cars on our roads. Next, we take a look at how the drought is taking a heavy toll on organic dairy farms and cemeteries in California. Finally, in our weekly TV segment, we size up the new fall offerings, from the must-sees to the must-avoids.
