"Lindsey Graham: Too Green for the GOP?" [1]

"Lindsey Graham may paint some green onto the 2016 Republican presidential platform. Just don’t call him a moderate.

The South Carolina senator and potential GOP presidential contender is one of the few Republicans left on Capitol Hill to embrace the idea that humans play a sizable role in warming the planet. He spent months negotiating with Democrats on an attempt at major climate legislation during President Barack Obama’s first two years, and he’s received both praise and fundraising help from the Environmental Defense Fund, a centrist voice in the green movement."

Darren Goode reports for Politico April 5, 2015. [2]
