A Man with a Plan

President Obama is a man with a plan. He recognizes how crucial it is to address #ClimateChange both here at home and in developing countries throughout the world. That's why he has pledged resources to address the issue. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jun/09/white-house-climate-plan-developing-countries You can read about this initiative at the link.

At home, his plan is ambitious, but, doable. That is, if we can get the GOP on board. The Republicans in Congress have vowed to fight the new rules put forth by the EPA and they are aiming to cut back the money that President Obama has pledged to help developing countries deal with #ClimateChange.

There will always be challenges to the President's authority and to the EPA authority to put limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But, there will be victories in the battle. Today was such a victory. The US Court of Appeals barred the coal mining companies from challenging EPA at least until they get all the regulations in place. Once the EPA adopts and releases the rules, then the challenges will begin anew.

Here is another issue where there is a clear distinction between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats tend to favor regulations to protect citizens and the environment and Republicans tend to fight those regulations to protect coal companies and their profit margins.

Let's all support our president and his efforts to address #ClimateChange. Read all about it here:  https://www.whitehouse.gov/climate-change
