In the months that have passed since November of 2008, it has been suggested that the Republican Party needs to re-brand itself. That it needs to abandon its old ideas and get with the program.

Ban applauded President Barack Obama’s engagement on global warming but said that other countries were doing more, and added that a new global climate pact meant to be agreed in December could not wait for the United States to pass its domestic rules. “That’s what I have been doing and will continue to do,” Ban [...]
