The Patriot Post® · WashPo Urges Climate Action

The Washington Post editorial team penned an urgent request over the weekend, urging lawmakers to act now on global warming. “The United States needs to lead the way with a smarter climate policy and then encourage a global response,” they conclude. (Keep in mind, data reveals no warming over the last 15 years.) The timing couldn’t be more ironic as millions of Americans are shivering their way through an epic Arctic outbreak. (No doubt they’d appreciate a little more warming right about now…) Meanwhile, WashPo’s friends over at the Environmental Protection Agency have proposed new regulations targeting wood burning stoves. The goal is an 80% reduction in fine particular emissions by 2019. In addition to the war on coal, this is the Left’s version of “smarter climate policy.” Next up: Regulating forest fires.
