WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday invoked his executive authority to undertake a slew of measures aimed at curbing climate change and preparing America for its costly impacts. 
The speech was hailed by environmentalists who've seen their policy priorities largely ignored since the president promised to address climate change in his State of the Union address earlier this year.
"The question is not whether we need to act," Obama said in a speech at Georgetown University. "The question is whether we will have the courage to act before it's too late."
Environmental activists were particularly pleased with the president's comments on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which the president was not expected to discuss. In the speech Obama asked the State Department not to approve the construction of the pipeline unless it can first determine that the pipeline will not lead to a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
that is your Pres. on the common sense tip, while those republicans who have lied to you about the keystone and want to do it two minutes after they heard about it.
Pres. hears the sense and sensibility of not forgetting the past and researching the ramifications of such a endeavor, tar sand oil through the middle of the country to be put on the international market not your corner gas station at 7pm Saturday evening.
the terrorist acts now homegrown make it vulnerable to attack spills are always a possibility, they like everything else knee jerk the project and they refuse disaster help until they can kill some bill for help to other Americans who had nothing to do with it.
"Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest," the president said. "And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward."
sense and sensibility, not conservative con., they claim jobs will be made but only 20,000 Pres.'s jobs act million plus
