National Public Radio: With a Paris climate agreement just over a week old, President Obama is singling out the GOP on climate change. In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, the president lambasted Republicans, whom he views as excessively contrarian on the issue. "The Republican Party in the United States is perhaps literally the only major party in the developed world that is still engaging in climate denial," he said.

Times of India: We just had an instance of US and India working together for a global goal on climate change. When and how did the breakthrough happen?

Guardian: American leadership in the world is not just a matter of us bombing somebody, Barack Obama insisted on Friday as he reeled off a year of achievements from a global climate deal to the Iran nuclear pact. During an end-of-year press conference at the White House, the president also claimed steady progress in the war against Islamic State and expressed optimism about working with Congress to reform the criminal justice system, but declined to rule out the idea of going it alone to close the detention...
