"GOP Presidential Hopefuls Blast Obama on Climate"

"Top Republican presidential candidates blasted the Obama administration’s landmark climate rule for power plants.

Citing concerns, like the science behind climate change or the economy, 2016 hopefuls said at a late-Sunday event hosted by Freedom Partners that President Obama’s carbon limits would only hurt the country.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said climate change simply isn’t happening, and the temperature data proves it."
