2013-07-01 18:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: Bypassing Capitol Hill, President Obama is throwing his political power behind his administrations actions to combat global warming. For the sake of our children, and the health and safety of all Americans, Im directing the Environmental Protection Agency to put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution from our power plants, and complete new pollution standards for both new and existing power plants, Obama said last week in a speech at Georgetown University on a 90-degree, humid...
