Political gold in climate clash for 2 attorneys

摘要

West Virginia's top prosecutor is a coal-state Republican who lives in a historic river town, has an office guarded by taxidermied bears and loves to hate government regulations. New York's attorney general is a Democratic health food fanatic who does yoga, lives on Manhattan's Upper West Side and has a penchant for going after big corporations. They are rival generals in the legal war over the Obama administration's signature climate change rule. West Virginia's Patrick Morrisey and New York's Eric Schneiderman both see taking a strong stand on the issue as a winner in their home states. Most with a stake in the climate debate love one and loathe the other, catapulting both of them into the national spotlight.
