Climate Change is a world agenda. And I didn't know that helping the poor was an American tradition either...
It is a POLITICAL AGENDA.
Hell is a neocon's dream come true.
Trying to control the entire world.
Take a closer look but what does this have to do with the topic?

That's because it is true and we need to do something about it. Who else should push it exactly?

No one should be pushing it.
Green legislation, and the EPA have existed for over half of a century.
Meaning the STATE has been in charge our environment in that entirety.
What the hell is the issue ?
Saying the last 60 years have been a waste of time, and BILLIONS of dollars to now people are running around with their hair all on fire saying 'oh god,oh god were all gonna die if we don't listen to the Pope, and the Potus.'
I pass on that stupidity.
Meteorologists say 2015 is a near certainty to eclipse 2014 as the hottest year on record. This year, six of the eight months have been record-breaking, with only April and January failing to set new records. Since 2000, Earth has broken monthly heat records 30 times and seasonal heat records 11 times. The last time a monthly cold record was broken was in 1916. Records go back to 1880.
(CNN)What President Barack Obama described as the greatest threat to future generations was neither terrorism nor ISIS. It wasn't nuclear weapons in rogue states either.
The 1955 Air Pollution Control Act was the first U.S federal legislation that pertained to air pollution; it also provided funds for federal government research of air pollution. The first federal legislation to actually pertain to "controlling" air pollution was the Clean Air Act of 1963. The 1963 act accomplished this by establishing a federal program within the U.S. Public Health Service and authorized research into techniques for monitoring and controlling air pollution. In 1967, the Air Quality Act enabled the federal government to increase its activities to investigate enforcing interstate air pollution transport, and, for the first time, to perform far-reaching ambient monitoring studies and stationary source inspections. The 1967 act also authorized expanded studies of air pollutant emission inventories, ambient monitoring techniques, and control techniques.[1]
Major amendments to the law, requiring regulatory controls for air pollution, passed in 1970, 1977 and 1990.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency[2] (EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the U.S. federal government which was created for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress.[3] The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order. The order establishing the EPA was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate.[4] The agency is led by its Administrator, who is appointed by the president and approved by Congress. The current administrator is Gina McCarthy.[5] The EPA is not a Cabinet department, but the administrator is normally given cabinet rank.
