Hill: President Obama is channeling his inner Al Gore in his new climate push with a public relations strategy that breaks with his first term. Obama, in short, is now talking loudly and directly about the peril of climate change as he promotes an array of executive-level actions. There has definitely been a messaging shift, said Brad Johnson of the advocacy group Forecast the Facts. The recognition that Americans are already suffering the consequences of climate pollution is long overdue,...

Obama climate change plan is 'advocacy for fracked gas,' says 'Gasland' director

msnbc: You may have missed it with all the news coming from the Supreme Court, but President Obama last week announced a plan to address climate change, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to 17% below their 2005 levels. Part of the presidents plan involves moving away from coal and investing in natural gas, which he described as cleaner and safer. Not all environmental advocates view the plan as a step forward. This plan is advocacy for fracked gas all over the United States and all...

Obama Administration to Rely on Clean Coal and Unproven Sequestration to Combat Climate Change

DeSmogBlog: The key takeaway from President Obama`s major climate change announcement last week was his intent to batten down on coal. But if history is any indication, the man Mr. Obama selected to run the Department of Energy may have different plans. Ernest J. Moniz has a long history of supporting coal-powered electricity, staking his arguments in favor of coal on a technology that remains entirely unproven: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). Mr. Moniz will be in a uniquely influential position...

On energy, Obama soars while GOP stalls

Grand Forks Herald: President Barack Obama delivered his most important national security and jobs speech last week. I think he also mentioned something about climate change. The headline from Obamas speech was his decision to cut Americas carbon emissions by bypassing a dysfunctional Congress and directing the Environmental Protection Agency to implement cleaner air-quality standards. If the rules are enacted -- they will face many legal challenges -- it would hasten our switching from coal to natural gas for...
Obama plan moves in right direction on climate change

Detroit News: Climate change is potentially the biggest environmental challenge facing this country and the world, and President Barack Obama has now acted forcefully in releasing on June 25 a Climate Action Plan that will help America address the problem. Michigan and the Midwest generally have disproportionately higher greenhouse gas emissions, due in particular to our generally high rate of coal combustion in power plants. Reducing these emissions needs to become a higher priority if we are to avoid significant...
