Grist: Sen. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) is angling to turn herself into a Republican leader on climate change - at least in part to fight a 2016 reelection challenge from a climate-hawk Democrat. On Sunday, Ayotte became the first GOP senator to express support for President Obama`s Clean Power Plan, which will rein in CO2 emissions from electric utilities.

That question is on the working agenda for the upcoming Paris climate talks, at least sort of - and thats a good thing.

EcoWatch: Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz told Glenn Beck in a new interview that climate change is a religion, not a scientific position. According to the Texas senator, "global warming alarmists" (or the people who believe in climate change) don`t have evidence to prove that the planet is warming. What? It`s a comment so baffling that you have to watch the exchange for yourself (via Right Wing Watch): The card-carrying climate-denier was referring to his recent grilling of Sierra Club President...
