Miami Herald: Climate change, it seems, is no longer a dirty phrase for Democrats to disavow. President Barack Obama promised in his second inaugural address to respond to climate change, casting it as a moral obligation and warning that failing to take action "would betray our children and future generations." It's not just a responsibility to his fellow Americans, Obama said Monday, but to "all posterity." Persuading Americans that they should care about climate change _ or have a duty to do so _ is one...

Agence France-Presse: President Barack Obama still wants to tackle climate change in a way that does not hurt the US economy or jobs, and has yet to frame an immediate plan for action, his spokesman said Tuesday. Obama caused a stir on Monday when he promised in his inaugural address to "respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations." The White House said Tuesday that Obama still backed congressional action to curb global warming but noted...
