[Get On Politics delivered to your inbox.] That’s a dangerous approach for the party, says former Representative Henry Waxman, a California Democrat once dubbed the “Bush administration’s worst nightmare” for his series of investigations as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. “I don’t think they should be moving to impeachment right away,” he told me this week. And while House Democratic leaders and committee chairs are saying that impeachment must wait until the special counsel issues his report, they’re already under tremendous pressure from their base to move forward. Successfully impeaching a president begins with an investigation by the House Judiciary Committee, which draws up articles of impeachment. Few politicians want to be the Republican who votes to impeach Mr. Trump only to see the effort fall short.

Finally, the state Legislature decided that if there’s a do-over in the election, there must be one in the primary, too. On Politics brings you the people, issues and ideas reshaping our world.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino used a summit of soccer nations in Qatar to gather support for his mission to add 16 teams to the 2022 tournament — a move that would require the tiny, energy-rich nation sharing games in the region. Difficult probably," Infantino said. "Is it feasible to have a few games being played in neighboring countries? Well, maybe this is an option, of course.

Infantino used a trip to Doha in October to ask the emir of Qatar if he would consider allowing matches to be shared with nations that are part of an economic and travel boycott against his country.

Global warming is a crisis for civilisation and a crisis for life on Earth. Human-caused climate change was behind 15 deadly weather disasters in 2017, including droughts, floods and heatwaves. The world’s leading climate scientists, in a special report for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have warned that there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C. To meet that target, global carbon emissions need to drop by 45% by 2030. We need radical, urgent change. This is largely because rising rightwing nationalism has vitiated the global solidarity needed to avoid a catastrophe. Yet none of this is possible when the most important actors on the world stage think that the chief business of the nation state lies at home. The biggest problem is the US president, Donald Trump – a longtime climate-change denier. Tens of thousands of people in Brussels marched ahead of the summit in Poland. Even the US has been allowed to play a constructive role in creating rules by which nations agree to abide by in meeting climate targets – because everyone has an interest in creating a backdoor for Washington to re-enter the agreement.

A Trump administration presentation extolling the virtues of fossil fuels at the UN climate talks in Poland has been met with guffaws of laughter and chants of “Shame on you”. Monday’s protest came during a panel discussion by the official US delegation, which used its only public appearance to promote the “unapologetic utilisation” of coal, oil and gas. Although these industries are the main source of the carbon emissions that are causing global warming, the speakers boasted the US would expand production for the sake of global energy security and planned a new fleet of coal plants with technology it hoped to export to other countries. The event featured prominent cheerleaders for fossil fuels and nuclear power, including Wells Griffith, Donald Trump’s adviser on global energy and climate, Steve Winberg, the assistant secretary for fossil energy at the energy department, and Rich Powell, the executive director of the ClearPath Foundation, a non-profit organisation focused on “conservative clean energy”. The only non-American was Patrick Suckling, the ambassador for the environment in Australia’s coal-enthusiast government. None of the US participants mentioned climate change or global warming, focusing instead of “innovation and entrepreneurship” in the technological development of nuclear power, “clean coal” and carbon capture and storage. Coal is deadly from the beginning to the end. This was the second consecutive year that the Trump team was heckled after promoting fossil fuels and nuclear power at the climate talks, underscoring how the US position has shifted since the president took power in 2017. In fact, scientists say their forecasts about climate impacts have been too conservative, while economists say the shift to renewables has resulted in cheaper energy for many users. Winberg said the US government was planning to support a new fleet of small, modular coal plants that he claimed would be energy-efficient and have near-zero emissions if combined with carbon capture technology.
