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.

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...
