China to Start Carbon Trading While U.S. Senate Fiddles Around

Expanded offshore drilling was a key sweetener to attract Lindsey Graham and other swing votes to the Senate climate bill. Now that such a provision seems politically toxic, is the bill in jeopardy?

There are lots of good reasons to pass the climate bill, like reducing global warming and boosting the economy. But a lesser known reason is that it will also bolster our nation's security.
