Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:27 AM PST Policies to protect the global climate and limit global temperature rise offer the most effective entry point for achieving energy sustainability, reducing air pollution, and improving energy security, according to a new article. By adopting an integrated perspective on energy and climate policy, one that simultaneously addresses three of the key objectives for energy sustainability, major synergies and cost co-benefits can be realized.

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:13 AM PST Increases in air pollution and other particulate matter in the atmosphere can strongly affect cloud development in ways that reduce precipitation in dry regions or seasons, while increasing rain, snowfall and the intensity of severe storms in wet regions or seasons, says a new study. The research provides the first clear evidence of how aerosols can affect weather and climate, with important economic and water resource implications.

Thanks for this one Paul. I think this issue of cost-saving synergies is a key focus for reversing the debate about "jobs" and the EPA. Even without considering health benefits the study finds that synergies between air pollution control, greenhouse gas reduction, and energy security all move us in the same direction. Planning for a single aspect means we forego the synergies that would come from the others, leading to piecemeal regulations instead of a coordinated approach that achieves all three goals simultaneously.
This should be the theme for a major Op/Ed, and it is a perfect rebuttal to Manchin, McKinley, et al.
Who wants to start on one?
