<blockquote> <font size="-1"> ..., at year's end, the country’s
climate tab will be the smallest since 1992, continuing a
downward trend since its peak during the George W. Bush
administration, when carbon dioxide levels seemed destined to
rise inexorably....Meanwhile, the government cannot enforce the
country's centerpiece emissions-cutting policy, because the
Supreme Court has stayed the Obama administration’s Clean Power
Plan pending completion of a federal lawsuit, and Republican-led
states are resisting it....</font><br>

lessons from the Clinton campaign's hacked emails</a></b><br>

fixated on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">climate change</b><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- yet reluctant to make
overly sweeping promises about what they'd do about it.
"Climate change" comes up in more than 1,200 of the emails
released as of Friday, or more than Obamacare and the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant combined — and almost as many as
the 1,444 emails that mention the name "Sanders."..And Clinton’s
team think it’s deeply unrealistic to call for a quick end to
oil drilling, as some green groups and Sanders supporters demand
— but it’s also fanciful to think that the current U.S. oil boom
should continue indefinitely....The presidential front-runner’s
private quip that anti-fossil fuel activists should "get a
life," seen in context, reads like more of a rejoinder to remove
their heads from the clouds than a personal slam.<br>

<blockquote><font size="-1"> Dr. Julie Gerberding of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention addresses a US Senate committee
regarding the health risks of climate change. Her testimony was
extensively edited by the Bush White House to dramatically
downplay the severity of the risks. ..."It was eviscerated,"
said a CDC official, familiar with both versions, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the
review process....The official said that while it is customary
for testimony to be changed in a White House review, these
changes were particularly "heavy-handed," with the document cut
from its original 14 pages to four. It was six pages as
presented to the Senate committee....The White House’s deletions
included "details on how many people might be adversely affected
because of increased warming and the scientific basis for some
of the CDC’s analysis on what kinds of diseases might be spread
in a warmer climate and rising sea levels."....Sen. Barbara
Boxer (D-CA) today put out a statement, stating, "The
Administration should immediately release Dr. Gerberding’s full,
uncut statement, because the public has a right to know all the
facts about the serious threats posed by global warming."</font><br>
