In my opinion, he is not doing enough but at least the USA is finally doing something. I wouldn't rely on gas so much, fracking is such a dodgy process. It pollutes ground water and has been known to cause small earthquakes. Nuclear is not much better as it produces so much toxic waste which takes 1000's of years to decay although while renewables are still being developed and improved, it is an okay energy source. Much better than the fossil fuels which will run out in 100 to 200 years. He should of pledged to give tax incentives/ subsidies to companies who will improve renewable energy and make it affordable for people to use, which won't happen without investment. Also, surely new energy standards are a good thing as less energy is wasted, meaning we will pay less as less is used.

Also, where are the enforcements on stuff like recycling but also packaging of consumer goods? Afforestation? Protection of endangered species? A hint at promising to stay out of the Arctic? Instead, he would rather approve Keystone XL! He may deny it now, but he will approve regardless of what he said.

When it comes to climate there is a plenty we can do to adapt but we are still not awake to the reality. That is very dangerous to our future prosperity

Totally agree with this. At least he is trying. here in canada the  *** prime minister still call climate changes an hoax. What a bunch of retards we have here.

Yeah, it's a shame. Canada had a good reputation on the environment before Steven Harper became PM. Damn conservatives, would rather make a quick buck than adapt to one of the biggest challenges humans will ever face. Conservatives everywhere need to wake up to reality
