Obama administration orders EPA to regulate "climate change"

Outside of the community of "true-believer" zealots, the question of the veracity of man-made global warming has not been settled.

I believe a majority in both houses of Congress--Democratic-controlled Congress I'd like to add--understands.

But as the Washington Post tells us, the Obama administration is comprised of "true believesr."

The Obama administration told Congress to find a way to regulate greenhouse gases -- or else.

Last month, Congress refused: Democratic leaders in the Senate declined to take up climate legislation before their August break, which means it looks effectively dead for this session.

Now the White House is stuck with "or else."

The Environmental Protection Agency will soon begin regulating greenhouse gases factory by factory, power plant by power plant. That could be unwieldy, expensive and unpopular -- even President Obama has said it's not his preferred solution.

But for now, it's his only option.

Hope and change, baby.

The people should have the final say.
