Republicans still hunting a way forward on landmark climate deal

ClimateWire: If Republicans are preparing to launch an offensive against the historic climate change agreement the Obama administration struck in Paris last month, they're being awfully quiet about it. While die-hard congressional opponents of President Obama's climate policies did respond to the mid-December news that nearly 200 nations had accepted a long-sought deal, those statements were fewer and less vitriolic than expected -- especially considering that the White House was claiming the accord as a cornerstone...

After Paris accord, most US Republicans back action on climate

Reuters: A majority of U.S. Republicans who had heard of the international climate deal in Paris said they support working with other countries to curb global warming and were willing to take steps to do so, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday. The desire for action is notable for an issue that has barely made a ripple on the campaign trail among 2016 Republican presidential candidates. Few of the Republican White House contenders have said much at all about the United Nations summit in Paris...

New York Times: More than 40,000 people are attending the climate talks, including scientists, activists, people living on the front lines of global warming and the negotiators for the 195 nations represented. One group is noticeably missing, however: Republicans. Except for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, no prominent Republican has participated in the events in this Paris suburb. No Republican attended a meeting of 400 mayors in Paris last Friday, convened by Michael R. Bloomberg, the...
Republicans ransom US Green Fund pledge ahead of Paris climate summit

Climate Home: Republicans are grappling to erode US climate credibility ahead of December`s Paris climate conference as payback for their exclusion from negotiations by President Barack Obama. GOP senators are taking ransom a US$3 billion pledge to the UNs flagship Green Climate Fund which helps developing countries tackle climate change. Unless the Republican-dominated Senate gets a vote on an anticipated new climate agreement, it wont release the $500 million first tranche. Americas contribution...
