  5. Climate change won't wait

    Societal change usually happens slowly, even once it's clear there's a problem. That's because, in a country as big as the United States, public opinion moves in leisurely currents. Change often requires going up against powerful, established interests, and it can take decades for those currents to erode the foundations of our special-interest fortresses. Think civil rights, gay marriage, equal rights for women.

  7. Joining the EPA's war on soot

    Lisa Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, did not produce the record some had hoped for, as she was continually held back from her ambitious regulatory plans by business and political opponents. And even her last major action &mdash; she announced last week that she is leaving her post &mdash; is overdue but still welcome. The EPA is demanding of local governments a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-epa-tightens-standards-for-soot-pollution-20121214%2C0%2C2930521.story">20% reduction in soot emissions.</a> If it is successful in producing those results, the new standards will save thousands of lives and reduce the nation's healthcare costs by billions of dollars. The new rule is particularly important to Southern and Central California, where cleaning up soot emissions will be particularly challenging.
