How will history judge the climate change debate? One senator has a very specific idea.

Environmental Protection Agency regulations proposed at the beginning of June seek to cut carbon emissions 30 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030.

Opponents say the regulations are part of an “oppressive climate agenda” that threatens state economies.
