Ezra Klein Archive: Climate Change

What does Proposition 26 mean for climate change?

Given how low the chances of congressional action on climate change are now, state efforts like California's climate bill, AB 32, are going to pick up a lot of the slack. AB 32 requires the state to cut yearly emissions...

What life will look like if Republicans win the House, Part III

Environmental edition: Right now, Lisa Jackson's EPA is the country's last defense against endlessly rising carbon emissions. Thanks to a 2007 Supreme Court decision, the agency is supposed to start regulating greenhouse gases as soon as next year. That's not...

Stopping climate change 2.0

I've spent the past few weeks gathering string on a column about the best strategies for addressing climate change without a carbon price. Unfortunately for me, David Leonhardt wrote that exact column today. Fortunately for you, he did a...

The failure of conservative elites

There's been an interesting conversation happening about why the GOP is the only major right-of-center political party that doubts the science behind global warming. See Ron Brownstein and Bill McKibben's contributions, and then read this take from Ross Douthat, which...
