The EPA recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft endanger human health, so it will implement an international plan to limit those emissions.
Too bad the proposed standard is so weak it will hardly do any good.

How Obama Went From Being a Peace Candidate to a War President.
He has used the US power foolishly, to no good — in many cases, not good even for US plutocrats (except military and surveillance contractors).
Obama will send a few hundred more trainers to Iraq.
I see nothing particularly bad about this move, but it is unlikely to make much of a difference. When the Iraqi army abandoned Ramadi in May, they did so in fear of the suicide bombings carried out in humvees that PISSI had captured from the Iraqi army in Mosul. Training alone won't make troops stand up to that. They have to be fighting for something they care about very strongly.
Kurdish peshmerga can do this; they are fighting to prevent a massacre of their people. Does Obama think he can convince soldiers to do this for the Iraqi government?
