Didn't mean to include the link in the title. Ken Ward's writing is good so I just quote here, but I didn't notice the tag-a-long link there.

An order contrary to an existing court decision will get an immediate injunction. You really seem confused.

You are very confused. http://www.epa.gov/climatechan...

You are talking in circles. The more expensive the tar sands are, the less they will be mined. Allow no permit for Keystone.

Executive action carried out to comply with a court order would be difficult to undo. Same goes for action taken to comply with a ratified treaty like the Framework Convention on Climate Change. Some executive action is just carrying out the law of the land. That sort of thing is hard to reveres.

Show votes are pretty silly when it is known they won't pass in the other house.

We'll be at war if nothing is done. Too much territory lost to desert with be very destabilizing.

You may not have noticed that DoD is making climate change a priority. Are you really worried about enforcement?

Neither is mercury specified yet it is regulated. A substance only needs to be found dangerous to be regulated. That is how the Clean Air Act is written.

It is already in the regulations that came in to being as a result of a Supreme Court order. We are already delivering through CAFE standards, new point source regulations and the regulations that are available for public comment for existing point sources. There is nothing that congress needs to do. In fact, since Paris in 2015 will just be an update to the already ratified Framework Convention on Climate Change, there will be nothing to ratify for that either. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08...

The NYT is about three steps ahead of you. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08...

You've got that completely wrong. The court ordered the EPA to consider if carbon dioxide was dangerous. Patience had run out because the former administration was dragging its feet and not complying with the law.

Wow, you really don't know what Chinese motor vehicle efficiency standards are. You seem very uninformed. You don't even realize that refined products will be exported, not used here. http://tarsandsaction.org/spre... And, you seem to be completely baffled about our own CAFE standards, which are rising. The deal you want is already on the books. You are like a guy who has just won the Superbowl saying you want to get ready for the big game.

Actually, it was to the beat of a Supreme Court Order. You seem very uniformed on this topic.
