Who can forget it? In April 2008, as he campaigned for the
Democratic nomination for president, Barack Obama intoned that
history would say of his election, “This was the moment when the
rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” The
messianic declaration sounded over-the-top laughable, political
theater meets theater of the absurd. But the future president was
completely serious. He was pledging to treat man-made climate
change as a real and present danger to the United States and the
world.
Mr. Obama assumed office almost a year after delivering those remarks. Bringing with him a nearly filibuster-proof Senate in a Congress of his own party, perhaps the most left-liberal national legislature in American history, he rushed to make good on this declaration of priorities. He vaulted cap and trade, the domestic policy nirvana of global warming activists, into the top tier of his legislative agenda, together with Obamacare and expiration of the Bush tax cuts. The environmental community rallied behind him, throwing its full and considerable weight into the effort.
