Excellent- More about The Politics of Climate Change under President Obama
The partisan divide in US politics over climate change and global warming has widened in the last two decades, with significant elements in the Republican Party becoming hostile to the scientific evidence. This has led to legislative action at the state and local level, with cities such as Chicago, San Francisco, and New York implementing initiatives. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 seemed to open new possibilities for federal and global leadership, but the Obama administration has been criticized for a contradictory approach. This book argues that there is a latent potential for America to act as a world leader on climate change, particularly for students and scholars in American Politics, climate change, sustainability, and environmental studies.

The last two decades have seen a growing partisan divide in US politics over climate change and global warming, with significant elements in the Republican Party becoming openly hostile to the scientific evidence. This led to legislative action at the federal level effectively halting, opening up space at the state and local level to develop climate change policies. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 seemed to open new possibilities for federal and global leadership, with the Obama administration being criticized for a contradictory approach at times. However, there were still substantive policy developments.
This book examines the politics of climate change in the US and argues that there is a latent potential for America to act as a world leader on the issue. It provides a substantive and detailed analysis of the evolution of US climate policy and places it within broader debates on the nature of politics in the US. The book will appeal to students and scholars in American Politics, as well as those in the fields of general Politics, climate change, sustainability, and environmental studies.
