The Supreme Court ruled that the government has the right to regulate CO2 emissions, not the obligation to under the law. Also, Obama could allow Congress to pass comprehensive legislation. Something Congress has not been willing to do under Republican or Democratic control - do you want to tell us why? If Obama has control of Congress he can certainly have them address the issue if he wanted, why is he going to act unilaterally?
