The article openly attacks president Obama on his policy regarding climate change. It puts the blame for failure to address climate change bluntly on the U.S. political situation and the U.S. president. It praises "Europe" as a whole and fails to mention the efforts of U.S. environmental groups. Quite a bitter piece of opinion.
