This list is not about light bulbs, hybrid cars and Energy Star appliances -- about the little things that we as individuals can do to solve climate. This is about what we as citizens can demand from our country, so that it does the big things that can only be accomplished on a national scale.

So I asked myself - What stands in the way of climate action that would benefit every American -- and every citizen of the world? Here's a list seven changes for the coming year, changes that would utterly transform the global search for climate solutions.

They would also extend the hope of peace and prosperity around the world, and chart the course for a new America that leads the world by example.
