Fuel Fix: President Barack Obama`s pledge to combat climate change - even as his administration weighs a verdict on the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline - has some analysts buzzing about a possible horse trade. The possible deal could go down like this: First, Obama`s EPA proposes greenhouse gas emission standards for existing power plants, to the delight of environmentalists who note that the largest single stationary source of pollution is from coal-fired facilities already in use.

Obama Is Going To Combat Climate Change With Or Without Congress

Business Insider: Are we witnessing a strange kind of symmetry? In his first presidential election Barack Obama constantly talked about taking measures to combating global warming all the time -- as, indeed, did his Republican opponent, John McCain. But, once in office, he did little or nothing about it. In his second campaign he hardly mentioned climate change at all. Does that, equally paradoxically, mean that he will now take action. If what he has said since being re-elected is anything to go by, he...

Canadian Press: President Barack Obama's State of the Union message to act swiftly on climate change should be interpreted as a challenge to Ottawa as well, says the U.S. ambassador to Canada. Obama used Tuesday's speech to present Congress with a choice: either agree to market-based solutions to climate change, or else the president will use his executive powers to achieve the same result. In an interview, Ambassador David Jacobson said the message to move more aggressively against climate change was meant...

Obama: Will Act on Climate, With or Without Congress

Climate Central: President Barack Obama said Tuesday night that he will use his executive powers to enact new policies to fight climate change if Congress does not address the issue. In his fourth State of the Union address, and his first since winning re-election, Obama linked climate change to recent extreme weather events to make his case. "For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change," he said. "No single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years...
