President Obama is set to unveil the most significant American attempt yet made to curb carbon dioxide emissions when he announces new restrictions on existing power plants on Monday.
(Webmaster's comment: There has been no reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the United States for at least 22 years. The capitalists are going to fight this mandate with tooth and claw. They stand to lose millions in future personal wealth. The rest us just stand to lose a decent environment to live in. But what's more important, the environment we all live in or a few getting obscenely rich!)

However the collapse will take centuries.
