Obama signed a new executive order on Friday that gives him and the federal government unlimited power over all fossil fuels, land, water, air space.
Through the guise of dealing with global warming, the new order can be used to justify any action against you, from preventing you to make changes to your property to any activity that could possibly increase greenhouse gasses.
Executive orders are unconstitutional in the first place by creating laws outside the legislative process.
This is ‘in your face’ totalitarianism!
Through the stroke of the pen, President Obama on Friday used his executive powers to elevate and take control of climate change policies in an attempt to streamline sustainability initiatives – and potentially skirt legislative oversight and push a federal agenda on states.
The executive order establishes a task force of state and local officials to advise the administration on how to respond to severe storms, wildfires, droughts and other potential impacts of climate change. The task force includes governors of seven states — all Democrats — and the Republican governor of Guam, a U.S. territory. Fourteen mayors and two other local leaders also will serve on the task force.
All but three of those appointed are Democrats. The task force will look at federal money spent on roads, bridges, flood control and other projects. It ultimately will recommend how structures can be made more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels and warming temperatures.
“We’re going to need to get prepared. And that’s why this plan will also protect critical sectors of our economy and prepare the United States for the impacts of climate change that we cannot avoid,” President Obama said back in June, when he first launched a Climate Action Plan. “States and cities across the country are already taking it upon themselves to get ready… And we’ll partner with communities seeking help to prepare for droughts and floods, reduce the risk of wildfires, protect the dunes and wetlands that pull double duty as green space and as natural storm barriers.”
The White House added in Friday’s statement that even as the United States acts to curb carbon pollution, officials also need to improve how states and communities respond to extreme weather events like last year’s Superstorm Sandy. Building codes must be updated to address climate impacts and infrastructure needs to be made more resilient.
Critics of the order charge, among other things, that it groups together everything from forest fires to heavy rains as evidence of climate change – despite scientific testimony from both sides of the debate.
Repeal it!!! This is bull.
There is no repeal to it, he can’t make a law only Congress can. If everybody will just ignore it and tell him to stick it where the sun don’t shine there is nothing he can do about it. He can’t enforce it.
Guess again. Watch the video in this link.

The power of Executive Orders, do not now, nor ever will, give the President the Constitutional Authority to increase his own “powers”. His powers are detailed and outlined in the Constitution. Otherwise any President could willfully and with malice aforethought, merely make himself KING, and it was designed expressly to prevent just such an action.
You comment is good, with one exception: HE DOES NOT, NOR HAS HE EVER BELIEVED HE IS BOUND BY THE CONSTITIUTION OR ANYTHING ELSE.
oh yeah, and who has stopped him thus far? look at how many coal companies have shut down after he gave the authority to the epa. he has issued many executive orders, all of which go against our constitution and nothing has been done about it. he ignored the supreme courts ruling on his illegal recess appointments, thus giving the finger to americans and our values.
DICATATOR.
This isn’t good
