Commentaries on today's federal politics of climate change and clean energy technologies like wind, solar and energy efficiency. The author highlights efforts of the Trump administration to roll back federal climate and clean energy policies and environmental regulations dating back to the mid-1970s.

The author details actions by the Trump administration and conservatives in Congress designed to de-regulate the environment, as well as the reactions by climate defenders, e.g., state and local governments, national environmental organizations and citizen advocates. A major theme running through the series of commentaries is that the gridlock plaguing Washington politics is a disservice to the nation and is forcing the courts to assume the role of policymaker--a role for which they are ill-suited.

Advocates are provided information on the legal and political factors impacting the actions and reactions and offered insights into administrative and legislative procedures. The articles are updated versions of commentaries the author has written over the past year and have been published in a variety of online publications and on his blog www.civilnotion.com.

The commentaries both inform and provoke the reader to think and consider for themselves their position on the global warming debate. The articles make complex legal, political, technical and scientific concepts and issues accessible to lay readers. The author encourages readers to themselves become engaged in the debate.
