Along with his normal anti-gun crusade.

Outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would do “anything I can” to help lawmakers committed to climate change-friendly policies get elected in 2014.
Although Bloomberg stopped short of saying he would spend money on specific races, he noted in a Tuesday call with reporters that “I certainly look at the overall voting records and interests of elected officials. … I certainly am putting a lot of money into environmental causes.”
Referring to increasingly destructive storms and weather that some scientists have linked to a warming planet, Bloomberg said, “I think across America there’s a much greater understanding that something is going on. And what we have to do is make sure that the political leaders here have the courage to” address climate change.
The possibility of Bloomberg wading more deeply into the nexus of Congress and climate change would add to a list of policy issues on which the multi-billionaire has flexed his muscle — and could provide considerable backing to candidates advocating climate positions.
