If the United States leads on climate will anyone follow?

Even leaving aside the moral imperative for the United States to lead, the latest news out of China, India, and Europe shows that the United States is far more likely to be isolated as a laggard than as a leader who no one follows. This week's blog reviews the bidding:

In other news, my new colleague Colin Murphy, in his first NextGen Climate America post, describes the huge gap between the environmental performance of diesels in real world driving versus emission tests:

And my friends at NextGen Climate Action<https://nextgenclimate.org/> have posted great new videos on the sad history of science denial<https://nextgenclimate.org/climatechange/filmmaker-darren-aronofsky-and-woody-harrelson-rally-voters-for-climate-change-with-new-ad/> and the stories of three hometown heroes fighting for the future of their communities. Stand with Emma<https://nextgenclimate.org/our-communities/>, Tiernan<https://nextgenclimate.org/our-security/>, and Dolf<https://nextgenclimate.org/our-prosperity/>.
With champions like these this is a fight we will win.
