...sound like they accept the reality of climate change, and the major Democratic candidates have all released surprisingly aggressive plans on energy and carbon, including front-runner Hillary Clinton, who called on Nov. 5 for a cap-and-trade system that would cut carbon emissions to 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. She's in line with the rest of the Democrats, and it's fairly remarkable that a position that would have been considered extreme eight years ago - when a certain Nobel laureate was running for President - is now orthodox in the Democratic party. And even though GOP candidates...
...Millennials shake off their reputation for apathy and create environmental change on a national level? Last weekend suggests they might be on their way. At the Power Shift conference, student activists gave testimony to members of Congress and demanded a slew of aggressive measures on climate change, including a 30% cut in carbon emissions by 2020 and 80% cuts by 2050. While students marched on Washington, activists from around the country launched Step It Up 2 on Nov. 3, a nationwide, single-day campaign to kickstart political movement on climate change.

So while the new guidelines have reduced the penalties above the mandatory minimums, those minimums are still firmly in place...
...record 50% of Americans strongly disapprove of his presidency, according to a recent Gallup poll. Overseas, he has taken America to historic lows among poll respondents around the world. The war in Iraq, the rise of China and perceived American unilateralism have diminished U.S. global influence to its lowest level since the Cold War. But in all that bad news, smart foreigners see an opportunity - and that explains why the President finds himself on the receiving end of so much attention from abroad this week...
