Washington Times: President Obama predicted Friday that Republicans eventually will come around and embrace his climate-change agenda, despite GOP opposition to global-warming action being as strong as it has ever been. Mr. Obama was questioned at his year-end press conference about the fact his successor could abandon U.S. commitments to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 26 percent by 2025. The U.S. made that formal pledge at a recent climate-change conference in Paris as part of a broader international...

Hillary Clinton accused Republicans of undermining American efforts to fight Islamic terrorism, saying Wednesday that the "hateful" campaign rhetoric of frontrunner Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP field is providing new material for Islamic State propaganda.

Washington Post: To understand how dangerously extreme the Republican Party has become on climate change, compare its stance to that of ExxonMobil. No one would confuse the oil and gas giant with the Sierra Club. But if you visit Exxons website , you will find that the company believes climate change is real, that governments should take action to combat it and that the most sensible action would be a revenue-neutral tax on carbon -- in other words, a tax on oil, gas and coal, with the proceeds returned to taxpayers...

EcoWatch: Science-denying Republicans--intent on derailing local, national and global attempts to avert a looming climate crisis--have their priorities all wrong, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said on Tuesday. "I find it unacceptable that many of my Republican colleagues are more worried about campaign contributions they`re getting from the Koch brothers and others in the fossil fuel industry than they are about preserving the planet for our children and grandchildren," Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) said...
