Channel 3000: We wish we could feel better about President Obamas soon-to-be-introduced, tough, new air quality standards. Heaven knows we need more action on climate change than we are getting. But the executive authority he is now forced to use is due in part to his failure to push for changes he himself has known weve needed for five years now. Some states are looking to undermine the new policies without even knowing what they are. And Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce trots out the usual accusations...

Asbury Park Press: Even for people who dont believe in it, climate change just got real. Its about time.

Sydney Morning Herald: A dramatic acceleration of America's response to climate change, including strong caps on coal-fired pollution threatens to expose Australia's humble 5 per cent emissions reduction target by 2020 as too low and out of step with the rest of the world. The US move may overshadow the first bilateral talks between Prime Minister Tony Abbott and President Barack Obama to take place in Washington next week. Those talks will cover trade, economic and strategic issues but with climate change again dominating...
