Christian Science: When it comes to energy and climate policy, President Obama will likely have more luck reaching across borders than he will reaching across the aisle. This week, Mr. Obama is pressuring world leaders to reduce global emissions as he and more than 100 other heads of state meet for the UN climate change summit in New York. The summit comes as a reluctant Congress at home largely opposes Obamas goals of promoting renewable energy and protecting against extreme weather associated with climate change....

Al Jazeera: Ahead of a day-long climate summit scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, a portrait of a conflicted Obama administration has emerged. While President Obama and his advisors have spoken more about climate change than any other administration, and pushed for new limits on the amount of carbon dioxide that cars and power plants can emit, Obama has also presided over one of the biggest increases in oil and gas production in the United States in...

Guardian: Barack Obama applied the brakes to the most critical component of his climate change plan on Tuesday, slowing the process of setting new rules cutting carbon pollution from power plants, and casting a shadow over a landmark United Nations summit on global warming. The proposed power plant rules were meant to be the signature environmental accomplishment of Obamas second term. The threat of a delay in their implementation comes just one week before a heavily anticipated UN summit where officials...
Obama Charges Ahead on Climate Change Policy

U.S. News and World Report: The Obama administration will seek a non-binding international accord rather than a treaty at a United Nations climate summit in Paris next year on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, The New York Times reported Wednesday. Obama addresses reporters at the White House on Monday, Aug. 18. It was a widely anticipated move, as President Barack Obama has repeatedly said he would act alone, bypassing Congress, if lawmakers declined to support his proposal....
