That isn't stopping Barack Obama's presidential administration from taking a stab at the problem, though.
The White House released a video on August 3 about President Obama's final plan to cut 32% of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants by 2030.
The new EPA-backed regulations are part of the Clean Air Act, and they outline the first federal limits on carbon emissions that coal-, oil-, and gas-fired plants can expel. (All US states have to submit plans to meet the new regulations by Sept. 6, 2018.) According to the Associated Press, the goal of a 32% cut in CO2 emissions in 15 years is an even stiffer regulation than his original plan, which called for a 30% cut. The Obama administration is referring to this as "the biggest, most important step we've ever taken to combat climate change."
