National Journal: Hillary Clinton isn't afraid to talk about global warming--and she wants her fellow Democrats to join her. In closed-door meetings with House and Senate Democrats Tuesday, Clinton jumped at the chance to discuss the hot-button topic in political terms, numerous lawmakers said.

Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Brian Schatz of Hawaii chose to introduce an ambitious bill proposing a $45 fee on carbon dioxide at the American Enterprise Institute.
