Albany Herald: Amazingly, tellingly, the last Republican debate included not a single question about one of the most ambitious international agreements in civilized history the recently concluded Paris accord on climate change. Signed by nearly 200 countries, including the United States, the agreement attempts to moderate a threat to human existence: the warming of the planet. But there was barely a mention of climate change on that debate stage. Not only didnt the moderators consider it worthy of a question,...
