[quote:Question EVERYTHING:MV8yMjc0NDUwXzM4Njc5NjcwX0FEODYyQzcz] [quote:calx:MV8yMjc0NDUwXzM4Njc2MTg0XzcwNUZGMjc2] I'm pinning this. I've never seen corruption like this in my lifetime. Our governments do NOT represent us. Call your representatives. Call your senators. Tell them how pissed you are! News flash - they don't give a flying FUCK at a donut in the dark about you. They got into the game to make money and to get power. Insider trading? Hell yah! What was that pinned thread yesterday about two worthless Eurozone politicians that checked in for 300 Euros a day to do nothing! This is our world. The productive members of society are being shit on day after day. We have no functional government. We pander to the dregs of society who contribute nothing toward the evolution of mankind. We're infiltrated by Islamic militants who receive endless benefits at our expense! We have NO leaders that represent anything that is good and patriotic. Only psychopaths hellbent on getting the most power they possibly can while dancing on the backs of the bruised if I can steal a line from NIN. Now what the hell do we do? Anyone have any solutions? Riots? What will it take to make these degenerates listen to us? Is there any hope left? Will any vestige of what is left of humanity go down into the sewers? [/quote] Thx calx for the pin. This really is a huge deal in my opinion because it just shows how absolutely corrupt these people are with sucking the wealth out of this nation and leaving us a third world country... And you're right, calling them makes no difference because it's legal for them to inside trade... Why do you think the NSA spying thing was all known by these fuckers... As far as what to do? There are only a few choices as far as I can see but it's going to be ugly for anyone that is a decent human being. [/quote]
Original Message
In sweeping proposals released after four years of frustrated efforts, Mr Obama ordered new curbs on carbon emissions from power plants and called for America to ready its defences against an already-changing climate.
The president also surprised environmentalists by signalling he would reject a controversial oil pipeline if it was found to “significantly exacerbate” the problem of carbon pollution.
“I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that is beyond fixing,” Mr Obama told students at Georgetown University. “As a president, as a father and as an American I’m here to say we need to act.”
Mr Obama first promised a new push on climate change during his inagural address on a freezing morning in January, warning that failing to cut emissions “would betray our children”.
Today, as Washington sweltered in the summer heat, Mr Obama finally laid out the details of his plan, which can be carried out by executive order and therefore do not need Congressional approval.
