"GOP Presidential Hopefuls Blast Obama on Climate" [1]

"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."

Timothy Cama reports for The Hill August 3, 2015. [2]
