Nevermind that there has been no global warming for 18 years, Barack "Benito" Obama is going into full Mussolini mode on us and burden us with new draconian laws and regs. Who needs a federal legislature when you can go it alone?

The coming climate onslaught - Andrew Restuccia and Erica Martinson - POLITICO

The Obama administration is set to roll out a series of climate and pollution measures that rivals any president’s environmental actions of the past quarter-century — a reality check for Republicans who think last week’s election gave them a mandate to end what they call the White House’s “War on Coal.”

Tied to court-ordered deadlines, legal mandates and international climate talks, the efforts scheduled for the next two months show that President Barack Obama is prepared to spend the remainder of his term unleashing sweeping executive actions to combat global warming. And incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have few options for stopping the onslaught, though Republicans may be able to slow pieces of it.

When your first sentence is utterly false, why bother responding to the rest of the OP?

Oh. I thought maybe it meant 'they' were going to take away fresh air and potable water.

The Titanic is heading for an iceberg and Captain Obama is worried about what the orchestra is going to play before dinner.

Never mind everyone across the globe has acknowledged the reality of climate change (sans the American Republican Party), Republican politicians will only answer with "I'm not a scientist" as to not be "dead wrong in public" while simultaneously not offending the dirty-energy industrial giants who bought them off at election time.

O's first act of vindictiveness is against the Dem Party which is becoming totally toxic.

Everyone across the globe?

You have discussed this with "everyone across the globe" and they stated this? Reaching a bit there, aren't you? Not even every scientist agrees with your stance, which is merely a re-statement of those who are making great amounts of money with their opinion.

Perhaps you and yours should just sit back and realize that the climate changes on its own constantly, without need for onerous taxes and restrictions. Been doing it for as long as there has been an Earth.

Check out the climate and temperatures during the time of the dinosaurs. Not even close to the way it is now. Check out the various ice ages. Yet you want to claim that mankind (which did not exist for most of these times) is responsible.

Give it some real, unguided thought and see what you come up with.
