Every year seems to furnish us with more and more graphic images of climate change. And yet, other than the temporary reprieve we got during the world's deepest post-war recession, there seems to be no let-up in the growth of carbon emissions.

The air Americans breathe today, while far from perfect, is far cleaner than it would have been without EPA's expertise in developing and enforcing regulations. Much of our water is cleaner too.

At least 30 million acres of America's forests could be cut down and used for fuel at US power plants if renewable fuels and biomass provisions of current Congressional climate and energy proposals aren't radically revised.

BP's spill safety response plans include references to protecting walruses, which have not called the Gulf of Mexico home for 3 million years. The American people deserve oil safety plans that are ironclad and not boilerplate.

Cap and trade has proved infeasible. But it remains critical to put a price on greenhouse gas emissions. We need to do it right this time. Let's avoid complexity and adopt a straightforward carbon charge.

This is not the 17th century, when "beliefs" trumped science, forcing Galileo to recant his understanding of the solar system. The president should unequivocally support the climate science community.

Because President Obama will be focusing on jobs and the economy between now and November, climate and energy legislation will only gain traction as part of an economic initiative to create jobs.

Some politicians and environmental organizations are using the Gulf Coast tragedy to push for passage of this flawed bill. To hear their arguments, you'd think the bill adds important safeguards and limits to offshore drilling.

Someone tell me ... which is the real environmental news and which is fake?

Glacier National Park could lose all its glaciers, Joshua Tree National Park all its Joshua trees and Saguaro National Park all its saguaros, according to a new report on climate change from NRDC.

Nontroversy feeds on empty, twisted brains. In this case, a general unfamiliarity with the language of scientific banter allows the "climategate" nontroversy to overwhelm the consensus on global warming.

The Copenhagen game of tag-in-the-dark enters its eleventh hour. With over 100 heads of states arriving in the next hours, negotiators are gearing up for the last miles of this two week marathon.

How many epidemics and Katrinas will it take to expose the myth that the U.S. economy is somehow exempt from the threats of climate change?

Romney, and the other opponents of clean energy legislation, are now claiming it will cost $1,761 per household. But the actual household costs are predicted to be about a postage stamp a day.

EPA's proposal to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants is a hacksaw, when the Obama Administration would rather operate with a scalpel.

Climate change threatens our national security in two ways. First, U.S. dependence on oil entangles America with hostile regimes. Second, climate change creates chaos, tension, and human insecurity.

There's no way between now and Copenhagen that Obama can get a strong climate bill through Congress. So here's my suggestion.
