"In Paris, Clean energy gathers steam" is a call to action to objectors to climate change reform. By appealing to these objectors sense of international competition, Robinson is attempting to make a fresh argument for international climate change legislation. He cites India and China's efforts towards climate change reform--effectively showing how the United States is being left behind. He even highlights Europe's collective efforts to enact change. The article is an impressive attempt at rallying politicians who have made it clear that they are not interested in discussing climate change. Its a unique approach that might prove successful.
