In a major speech on climate change, the president declared war on coal without congressional, or even U.N., authorization. Instead the EPA will lead the charge against CO2 emissions.
Those emissions, by the way, declined in the US over the last 15 years, while soaring world-wide. Global warming has stalled over the same period according to The Economist.
