  • Factory Emissions Obama 2012 Election Climate Change
    President Obama won the 2012 US election last night, and in a powerful victory speech he called for climate action to address a nation that is "threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet". The statement came after a long campaign that barely mentioned the environment, so now we look to our Commander in Chief to see what he will do in the face of a rapidly changing climate. With a Republican-controlled House of Representatives filled with many who are skeptical of climate science, what will four more years mean for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, and the growth of our economy? Read on for a look at critical opportunities for the Obama Administration to combat climate change in the years to come.
