  • Obama returns to Chicago Tuesday for Emanuel climate change meeting

        Former president Barack Obama will be in Chicago Tuesday to speak at Mayor     Rahm Emanuel’s two-day climate change conference. Mayors from North     American cities will sign the Chicago Climate Charter pledging to reduce     emissions and make their cities more environmentally friendly. “President     Obama helped lead the fight against climate change with bold and decisive     action, and we are honored he will be joining the North American Climate     Summit where local leaders from around the world will make meaningful     commitments to climate solutions,” Emanuel said.
