"Obama's
Legacy at Stake in Climate Negotiations." By Coral Davenport,
The New York Times, 11/28/15. "All year, Mr. Obama’s negotiators have
worked behind the scenes to fashion a Paris deal...Crucial to Mr. Obama’s
leverage has been the release of his domestic
climate change regulations, which he then pushed other countries to
emulate. So far, at least 170 countries have put forth emission reduction
plans. But even as Mr. Obama presses for a deal in Paris, it faces steep
obstacles, not least the legal
and legislative
assault on his own regulations at home...if his domestic regulations and a
Paris accord withstand efforts to gut them, “climate change will become the
heart and soul of his presidency.”’
