The fight against climate change remains a commitment of Barack Obama, who has pointed out the need to reduce U.S. carbon emissions in the first conference after his re-election as president

Obama explained the need to promote new strategies to curb climate change, “a consequence of human behavior and carbon emissions. And in response, I think we have an obligation to future generations to do something about it,” Obama said.

While it is true that during his first term, part of the Democratic political class opposed the president’s proposals in relation to climate change, an issue that during the last election campaign has had some relevance since the Sandy storm that hit the northeast coast of the United States, which caused the death of more than 110 people.
