Environmental Diary: The Obama Years

This Environmental Diary gives you a look back at the key environmental events, opinions, facts, conspiracy theories, and advances during the Obama years (2010-2015). I do not blame our lack of progress on environmental issues on President Obama. His administration was obstructed so often and so stubbornly by a party that consistently denies that climate change exists, and yet we made more progress in these matters than you might think. If you can suspend your skepticism, or if you are a believer, there is much in this diary to give us hope that we can take good care of our planet. Or you can refresh your memory about some of the things that keep setting us back.
