Clear the Road The bottom line is Republicans probably do not have the votes to repeal the EPA regulations, but they will use every power they can muster to launch a full-scale attack on the EPA in an attempt to delay, defund and otherwise vilify the agency and its actions on climate change. But these strategies represent more than chest pounding and the wasteful obstructionism that has become the norm. Each vote, hearing and procedural trick gives the GOP a megaphone to hammer on and repeat their false and dangerous rhetoric on climate change and the Clean Power Plan, which over time could potentially wear down Obama’s resolve, weaken the EPA’s position and negatively influencing public opinion. But what we need is to start drastically reducing the amount of carbon we are pumping into our gasping atmosphere. And we need to do it yesterday. Efforts – regardless of their nature – to stop or delay our plan to rein in climate disrupting pollution should be met with mass public outrage and demands to clear the way for bold aggressive climate action. takingnote.blogs.nytimes/2014/11/12/meet-the-republicans-top-guy-on-the-environment-james-inhofe/?_r=0
