Just this weekend American Thinker published Lord Monckton's massive plea to John McCain that urged the Republican candidate to rethink his position on global warming. Today, the Wall Street Journal reports that Barack Obama intends to immediately impose draconian measures (using the EPA) on the American economy in a Don Quixotian effort to fix the fiction of man made global warming.

...that come January the Environmental Protection Agency "would initiate those rulemakings" that classify carbon as a dangerous pollutant under current clean air laws. That move would impose new regulation and taxes across the entire economy, something that is usually the purview of Congress.

The EPA would monitor and regulate the carbon emissions of "lawn and garden equipment" as well as everything with an engine, like cars, planes and boats. Eco-bureaucrats envision thousands of other emissions limits on all types of energy. Coal-fired power and other fossil fuels would be ruled out of existence, while all other prices would rise as the huge economic costs of the new regime were passed down the energy chain to consumers.
