Climate change is fueling extremism, raising tempers along with temperatures, and fueling tensions between religious groups. The U.S. and its allies have responded with a combination of military action and economic sanctions. But the problem is, these actions only inflame tensions. The climate change response could be decisive in achieving a more equitable and sustainable global ecosystem; here’s why.
As they await the 2016 presidential election, the country is gripped by an intense debate over how to achieve its climate goals. But as long as Washington remains preoccupied with presidential politics and the party primaries, it will remain unable to make the case for the most effective and comprehensive strategy to combat climate change.
As the Obama Administration prepares to launch a new national climate plan, it has a chance to use a different strategy. It can take an aggressive, pro-business approach that incorporates a new and comprehensive U.S. infrastructure investment that could produce real-term results.
“The United States is the world’s largest climate investor, but our government has been slow and methodical in promoting a business-friendly policy, even if it has been necessary. The Obama White House has to learn this lesson the hard way.”

As President Obama presses forward with a national climate change strategy, and as his administration prepares a new plan for the U.S.’s role as a world leader in energy, climate, and infrastructure investments — there’s a debate to be had about whether the administration is acting too slowly and methodically or whether it is working too hard on a small part of its environmental agenda.
