Guardian: Barack Obama is expecting to discuss climate change at the G20 summit in Brisbane, with the US ambassador to Australia reinforcing the presidents message that it is a critical issue. In a wide-ranging address to the National Press Club on Wednesday, in which he also spoke about marrying his partner of 17 years thanks to same-sex marriage laws, ambassador John Berry said the US was raising climate change through its sherpas for the November summit.

Washington Times: With congressional elections looming, President Obama increasingly is catering to a staunch part of his political base: environmental groups, hard-core opponents of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline and others who share the administrations lofty goals surrounding climate change.

But industry could claim...

Guardian: Barack Obama ran for president six years ago promising to end a "dumb war" in Iraq and save a planet in peril. After last week, when the president was forced to send 300 troops back to Iraq, it would be easy to think he would break both those promises before leaving the White House.

He is doing so despite resistance from Congress, conservative groups and business lobbies, many of whose members...

CleanTechnica: President Barack Obama recently attended a commencement ceremony for the University of California, Irvine at the Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California. With the students, he mentioned the cold, hard reality that there are many politicians that deny climate change`s existence altogether. This compromises climate change mitigation efforts (which is most likely their goal). He mentioned that people didn`t deny the science behind space travel which was used to get to the moon, despite concerns that...
