Obama Campaign Group Targets Climate Change
2013-05-28 21:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: While President Obama's reelection campaign was almost completely silent on the issue of global warming, Organizing for Action, the advocacy group tooled from his 2012 campaign machine, has launched a campaign designed to build support for the president's climate-change agenda. The multipronged, multiyear effort aims to inject climate change into the heart of national politics--and make it an election issue as well. Conventional wisdom held that the issue is a loser on the trail, but former...

Reuters: President Barack Obama arrived in Moore, Oklahoma, on Sunday to tour the town that was hammered last week by a powerful tornado that killed 24 people and assure its residents that the federal government would provide long-term help. Obama, who arrived in Moore early on Sunday afternoon, is scheduled to witness the response effort in the storm-hit corridor and meet with members of affected families in a four-hour visit to the state.

Keep climate change out of Keystone decision, GOP warns in letter to Obama
2013-05-23 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
The Hill: Two dozen Senate Republicans are warning President Obama not to link wholly unrelated climate change policies to approval of the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline. You should approve the Keystone XL pipeline project on its merits alone without suddenly moving the goalposts after more than four years of review by tethering its fate to wholly unrelated and economically disastrous new regulatory policies, states the new letter to Obama led by Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and John Hoeven...

Keystone pipeline: House votes to bypass Obama
2013-05-23 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Congress has voted to shut Barack Obama out of the biggest environmental decision of his presidency -- the fate of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline -- and claimed the authority to approve the project. The vote to approve the pipeline, which passed 241-175 in the Republican-controlled house, was pure political theatre. The measure would dispense with additional environmental reviews of the pipeline and would allow only 60 days for legal challenges. The bill was unlikely to pass in the Senate...

House Bill to Override Obama on Keystone Passes With Less Bipartisan Support
2013-05-23 03:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The House of Representatives approved a bill as expected on Wednesday declaring that a presidential permit was not needed to approve the Canada-to-Nebraska leg of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a move that would take a decision on the project away from the Obama administration. The Republican-controlled House voted 241-175, with less support from Democrats than during the most recent attempt to speed up pipeline approval. The bill faces an uphill battle because it would have to pass the Senate...
