* | What They're Protesting in Australia: Australian sheep farmer Peter Spencer, 61, has spent more than a month and a half on a hunger strike to protest a climate-change policy that prohibits him from clearing vegetation from his farm. Spencer--with the support of hundreds of other protesters--has argued that the laws, instituted to cut greenhouse-gas emissions, have reduced the commercial viability of his land. He is demanding compensation for his losses, something the government says should be decided by the courts.
