President Barack Obama is preparing to tell all federal agencies for the first time that they should consider the impact on global warming before approving major projects, from pipelines to highways.

Atta Boy, Brack! Create those jobs by stopping work!Yeah, that's the ticket!
I'm sure Obama will charge a climate change tax on his subjects (I mean U.S. citizens)

Geez, these alarmists drive me nuts!
Look at some Earth history and don't fool with trying to figure out what the mother nature will do next.
A knee-jerk columnist in the WP, musing at the last missed Snowmageddon in D.C., actually stated the computer models were excellent, but Mother Nature failed to cooperate.
Oh, the Climategate 3.0 is out there now. The original guy released ALL the e-mails.
