Obama to take sweeping action on climate

President Obama will announce his intention to limit greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants, increase appliance efficiency standards and promote renewable energy development on public lands in a speech Tuesday outlining his plan to use executive powers to address climate change.

Unlike his other signature second-term initiatives, such as immigration legislation, gun-control measures and entitlement reform, Obama can undertake all of these policies without congressional input. Though Congress could theoretically overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule to regulate existing utilities under the Clean Air Act, Democrats have the votes they need in the Senate to block such an effort.

All you climate suckers out there ! This is coming from the same guy who spied on you, the same guy who helped to illegally topple the governments of Libya, Egypt and now Syria, the same guy who used the IRS to target opponents, the same guy who sent guns to the Mexican Drug Cartel, the same guy who kept Guantanamo Bay open, the same guy who escalated illegal drone attacks, and on and on.

Yet, you think he is correct about the Climate Change issue ?
