President Barack Obama is quietly but steadily working
behind the scenes on what could become one of his signature
achievements: A global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Well, of course he is — that’s how Obama rolls. No Congress, no problem!
What he’s seeking out of the December U.N. climate talks in Paris
would create the broadest, farthest-reaching deal in history, reworking
environmental regulations for governments and corporations around the
world and creating a framework for global green policy for
decades.Republicans in Congress, sensing what he’s up to, are already
saying no. And Obama’s already preparing to sign on without them.
Which is why, even though reaching a climate change pact has become a top priority for the West Wing and part of nearly every conversation Obama has recently had with a foreign leader, Obama and his aides aren’t advertising it.
