House votes to let governors ignore EPA on climate. - The Hill

House votes to let governors ignore EPA on climate. The Hill:

"The bill, passed 247-180, is a major blow to the main pillar of President Obama's effort to reduce the greenhouse gases that cause climate change, although the White House has promised a veto to protect his legacy."

Seems like he's his own worst enemy.

That's all that the politics game boils down to these days.
No difference in attitude between parties.
No difference in results for the 99.9% (much less the natural world).
Just bullshit about "legacy" whilst bending over with legs spread wide.

(OK, "Smoke & Mirrors & lots of money for me & mine&quot
