The new regulations are designed to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions* on a state-by-state basis, and like most of his well-honed speeches, rhetoric trumped reality. With the Iranian nuclear deal looming, homegrown terrorists sprouting up like dandelions, and ISIS fomenting terrorism across the globe, Obama says climate change is the greatest threat we face. He also said global warming is the one issue he can't fix through executive fiat. So using executive fiat, his EPA footmen launched the Clean Power Plan upon America. A plan that calls for a 32 percent reduction in CO2 emissions below 2005 levels by the year 2030. A plan that precedes the upcoming Paris Climate Talks in December. A plan that declares war on an odorless, colorless, invisible trace gas (.04%), erroneously referred to as a potent greenhouse gas (water vapor is actually what keeps our sun's heat from escaping back into space, but that's a whole other article).https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama.jpg
