The revisions are in response to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe`s order to rethink the internationally pledged emissions goal announced in 2010 by the Democratic Party of Japan-led administration of Yukio Hatoyama, which states Japan will cut carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions...

Grist: Its been a few years now since Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) led an ambitious but doomed charge to get a carbon-pricing bill through Congress. But in the wake of President Obamas climate-centric State of the Union and inaugural addresses, a growing number of Democratic lawmakers are grinding out bills that would make polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions.
