5 Things to Know This Morning

— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

1. State Department Publishes More Than 7,000 Pages of Previously Unseen Clinton Emails

The State Department published more than 7,000 pages of emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private account to its public records website Monday evening.

It's the fourth and largest installment of emails, most of which were sent or received within the years 2009 and 2010. The State Department has now released just over 25 percent of the total amount of her emails in its possession. The agency hopes to have all her emails released by the end of January 2016.

2. Why an Ohio Judge Is Using Unusual Punishments to Keep People Out of Jail

For this judge, justice is best served unconventionally.

From making a man wear a chicken suit to having a woman get sprayed in the face by what she thought was pepper spray, Judge Michael Cicconetti has become a viral sensation for his unique method of sentencing.

Just last month, the municipal court judge got international attention for giving 18-year-old Victoria Bascom the choice between 30 days in jail or walking 30 miles after she didn’t pay a cab driver for a 30-mile trip.

3. President Obama: Don't Condemn our Children to a Planet Beyond Repair

President Obama issued a stark warning on climate change Monday, stating that future generations will face harsh consequences if we don’t fix the issue soon.

“Climate change is no longer some far-off problem. It is happening here. It is happening now,” he warned the representatives of more than 20 countries attending the Conference on Global Leadership in the Arctic: Cooperation, Innovation, Engagement and Resilience, or GLACIER.

“The time to heed the cynics and critics and the deniers has passed. The time to plead ignorance has surely passed,” Obama said. “Those who want to ignore the science, they are increasingly alone. They are on their own shrinking island.”

4. Supreme Court Rules Against Clerk in Gay Marriage Case

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the Kentucky county clerk who has refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses, and the clerk will arrive at work Tuesday morning to face her moment of truth.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis will have to choose whether to issue marriage licenses, defying her Christian conviction, or continue to refuse them, defying a federal judge who could pummel her with fines or order that she be hauled off to jail.

"She's going to have to think and pray about her decision overnight. She certainly understands the consequences either way," Mat Staver, founder of the law firm representing Davis, said on Monday, hours before a court-ordered delay in the case expired. "She'll report to work tomorrow, and face whatever she has to face."

5. Chicago Teen Sings for Pope Francis

The day turned out to be extra special for Chicago, Illinois, student Valerie Herrera, who had the opportunity to sing before Pope Francis.

Herrera, 17, a senior at Cristo Bey Jesuit High School, joined Americans chosen from all over the U.S. in a virtual audience with the pope via satellite. The event was moderated from inside the Vatican by ABC News' anchor David Muir.
