Why are you so concerned about American domestic politics. Clinton lost the election didn't she. Obama is the ex-president. They are not the news. The world is now waiting for leadership from this dunce. That is why his stupidity is covered. 

Yes the "climate scientists" bear some responsibility for the skepticism around global warming, because of their gestapo-like hounding of dissent and their blatant manipulation of data. However, the climate does seem to be changing and not for the better. Should the Great white Hope not have used his power to fund a proper, independent study of the available data before he made this decision. We really need to get away from the current uncertain "certainty" about climate change. Even if it is not wholly man-made, it seems to be happening. We need to know why it is happening and what can be done to mitigate it. I know it sounds like reinventing the wheel, but the dominance of one point of view is unsatisfactory.
