BBC: Even before he was sworn in for a second term President Obama's in-tray has been bulging with letters about climate and energy issues. The big, looming problem that encompasses both areas is the Keystone XL pipeline. This $7bn, 1,700 mile trans-national project is meant to bring oil from the tar sands of Alberta to the refineries of Texas.

Keystone XL Pipeline: Another Looming Cliff of Grave Consequence
2013-01-08 19:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The wake up call that Hurricane Sandy gave us was but one of many just in the last year. We can see that climate change is happening all around the country after the wildfires, droughts, floods and violent storms of 2012. So when President Obama said it was time to deal with global warming in his victory speech, that made perfect sense.
