    “I have a comprehensive energy policy, but it really does include
    fighting*climate change*because I do think that's a serious
    problem,” Clinton responded.

*Hillary Clinton Is in Her Own Form of Climate Denial 
<http://inthesetimes.com/article/19516/hillary-clinton-is-in-her-own-form-of-climate-denial>*

      Silence is another form of denial and the TV networks are doing
    the public a great disservice by ignoring the issue, especially when
    there are such clear differences between the candidates."....Given
    those differences, the most profound impact of Donald Trump's
    campaign in terms of the climate may not be that he hopes to scrap
    the Paris Agreement, officially ratified by a critical mass of world
    governments

    It's that his candidacy has set the bar on climate for Hillary
    Clinton so low she might trip on it.... it seems climate could
    occupy a bigger spot in the Clinton campaign than it has since the
    primaries. Focus groups for the campaign have identified the
    environment as a key wedge issue, something that could set Clinton
    apart from Trump among voters likely to tilt toward third parties
    without inspiration from her on the issues that matter to them. It's
    especially key among young voters, who are showing surprisingly high
    levels of support for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.....To draw in
    millennials skeptical of the political system and passionate about
    climate change, Clinton staffers made the baffling move of tapping
    Al Gore, Bill Clinton's 68-year old former vice president. It's a
    desperate move but a telling one: Clinton needs climate voters, and
    she'll be working until the election to woo them. If it pays off,
    Clinton could be elected with the strongest popular mandate to take
    on climate change of any president in U.S. history.

    For example,*climate change*was discussed for an estimated 82
    seconds in the first presidential debate last week, and for just 37
    minutes in all presidential and vice presidential debates since the
    year 2000.


    Airlines Got a lot of What They Wanted in UN*Climate*Deal

    Enabling airlines to buy credits or carbon offsets instead of taking
    bold steps to reduce emissions isn't enough given the*global
    warming*crisis. The best that can be said about the deal is that at
    least the UN hammered out something and that the deal*...*
