InsideClimate: In soaring tones, President Obama on Tuesday set out a revamped climate agenda for his second term, seeking to breathe new life into priorities that have been slipping from his control since his early years in the Oval Office. "The question now is whether we will have the courage to act before it's too late," said Obama, who assembled a long menu of initiatives, large and small, that he can carry out without the support of Congress. Mopping his brow in the sweltering heat, he declared: "I am here...

Agence France-Presse: The European Union is unlikely to hammer out its new policy on global warming ahead of a global climate deal that could be clinched in 2015, Poland's environment minister said Wednesday. "A long discussion on climate change is getting underway. There's no chance that new measures will be adopted during the current terms of the European Parliament and the European Commission," minister Marcin Korolec told Poland's PAP news agency. In its efforts to reduce global warming, the international community...

Canadian Press: The Conservative government has politicized its policy options at a time when harmonized federal and provincial carbon policies are needed to cut emissions as cheaply as possible, says a new report. An increasingly fragmented national approach to carbon policy could result in higher costs, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development.

Grist: A recent (subscriber-only) report from HSBC Global Research helps shed some light on what`s at stake in the fight over climate policy. Short answer: a hell of a lot, especially if you`re invested in fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency says that, to have a 50 percent chance of limiting global average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, we can only afford to burn about a third of known fossil-fuel reserves between now and 2050. That means leaving around $20 trillion worth of assets...
