Daily Kos: The Pacific ocean is warming rapidly. This is apparently the early stage of a developing El Nino which will likely lead to record global warmth in the next 2 years. The day after President Obama announced his plan to cut carbon emissions from U.S. power plants 30% from 2005 levels, China's climate chairman has announced that, for the first time, China will place an absolute cap on carbon emissions. In tandem, these announcements are critical to stopping runaway climate warming because China and the...

Barack Obama's carbon cuts plan is a big step in the right direction

He has been frustrated in several other attempts to bring climate change to the fore of US politics, with the demise of cap and trade plans a notable failure, but his move to use the Environmental Protection Agency to cap carbon emissions is his boldest effort yet, trying to circumvent the Congressional stalemate on the issue using his constitutional powers....
