Partisanship has swallowed up the debate over climate change

FiveThirtyEight: For a moment Wednesday, it seemed like the environment, unlike nearly everything else in Washington, was a nonpartisan topic. Ninety-eight senators voted to pass a resolution declaring that climate change is real and not a hoax. (Republican Roger Wicker of Mississippi was the lone no vote.) The vote was meant to force Senate Republicans to take a stand a day after President Obama critiqued Republicans for refusing to acknowledge the scientific consensus that climate change is happening due to human...

As the special envoy for cities and climate change for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, I was especially impressed with the PMs ambition to create 100 smart cities, where clean energy will power green economic growth, while...

CNN: Oh no-no-no, says half the Senate. Forty-nine senators (full list here) voted on Wednesday against an amendment that said climate change is happening and, crucially, that it's actually-for-real caused by human emissions. That's something scientists are pretty darn sure about, and have been for more than a decade. These votes -- particularly the not-a-hoax vote -- have been heralded by some in environmental circles, including Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, as a sign of progress, like a "coming...

Daily Beast: When former ambassador John Bolton goes to Iowa this weekend to speak at the Iowa Freedom Summit, it wont just be his hawkish foreign policy that sets him apart from the other potential GOP presidential candidates attending. In an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday, Bolton, who is considering a run for the presidency, said I am perfectly prepared to accept that Earths temperature is warming and perfectly prepared to accept that part of the increase in temperature is because of human...
