After TRILLIONS of dollars spent on alternative energy by Obama he refocuses on another angle. Honestly I was hoping something beneficial would come out of that spending but reality was nothing!

As US businesses must spend and cut back emissions China and India are ramping up as well as accepting more of USA's former production of products as this continues.

The alternative energies possibilities could benefit the planet. US restrictions will benefit China's GDP and dirty the planet worse that currently from the US.

Obama's built an impressive track record on the environment, new vehicle emissions standards and coal plant regulations among them.

The conservatives can blow all the hot air they like about Obama not consulting them and using executive orders, but they would have only have said 'no!' anyway, so they gave him no choice. 

Key point to me here is that Obama actually realizes and acknowledges climate change is real and that humans are causing it. AND that we must work together to mitigate it.

There's none of this waffle being peddled by conservatives about sun spots, earth cycles, etc.

Whining without doing - or without coming up with a half decent solution - is the stuff of losers, and something conservatives subsequently excel at.

In fact, conservatives' general attitude can be neatly summed up in this video clip - which is why the GOP needs to be locked out of power for the foreseeable future.

Obama's soft measures at this time of great urgency is like bailing water with a bucket as the Titanic sinks.

vocative a strongly Democratic agenda. Not very openminded points of view.

Global Warming fact or fiction? NOBODY KNOWS! Natural cycles are fact. Human generated pollution is fact. Human climate change theory. And I am a 'Tree Hugger'. I consume minimally, I reuse, recycle all I can. For decades! But facts are facts!

How great of Obama to save us all by stopping the sky from falling! And to all the falling-sky-deniers: The fact that we are astill alive as proof of Obamas noble effort to prop the sky up. And of course we all need to pay him generously for that.
