Description
In August 2010 when it became clear that Congress would not act on a climate bill, we issued several additional recommendations for presidential action -- short-term steps the Administration could take to enhance U.S. credibility in international negotiations as COP-16 approached in Cancun, Mexico. In this final report, we make the case that President Obama’s legacy will be determined in the next two years, even if he is re-elected in 2012. Scientists have watched the consequences of global climate change appear more quickly than many predicted; they warn we are coming close to “tipping points”
