Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ki te mea he ruarua noa iho te Mahere Mana Ma o te kawanatanga o Obama he mahere kaupapa here pūngao, ehara i te mahere whakaheke waro, ko te mea anake me titiro koe ki te huarahi e pa ana ki te kaha karihi. Ko te pūngao karihi te pūtake nui rawa o te pūngao kore-ā-waro, e whakaputa ana i te 60% o te hiko kore-ā-waro. Ko te mahere āhuarangi a te Perehitini Barack Obama, e kiia ana ko te whakaiti i te katoa o nga tukunga waro o te United States, ka whakaara ake i te umanga karihi, ka arahi ki te whakanui ake i te hanganga tipu me te awhina ki te whakatutuki i nga whaainga whakaiti waro kaha. Na, whakaaro anō. I kii a James Hansen, te tumuaki o mua o te Goddard Institute for Space Studies a NASA, i te tau 2013, "te whakahe tonu ki te kaha karihi e whakawehi ana i te kaha o te tangata ki te karo i te rereketanga o te āhuarangi". Heoi anō, hei te Rāapa, ka whakanui te Whare Pōtae i te Rā o te Whenua, ā, ka whakatairanga i tana mahi ki te aukati i te huringa o te āhuarangi, i te wā e whakahawea ana ki tana taputapu nui rawa hei whakaiti i ngā tukunga waro - te pūngao karihi - tae atu ki te whakatūpato a tētahi o ngā pūtaiao āhuarangi tino pai o te whakahaere. Ahakoa he kore-wāhanga te pūngao karihi, he āwangawanga te mahere kaupapa here pūngao a te tari Obama ki a ia. Ka hangaia tēnei pōhēhē nā te āhua o te Environmental Protection Agency e whakawhiwhia ana ki te pūngao karihi i roto i ōna tauira o ngā hauota o nāianei me te whakatinanatanga o te mahere. Ko te tauira a te EPA e wehe ana i te tūturu. Tuatahi, ko te "Whakaaturanga Tuatahi mo te Mahere Mana Maama" a EPA e kii ana ki te whakaatu i te ahua o te umanga i tenei wa ka puta te heke mai me te kore o te Mahere Mana Maama. Ko tēnei take taketake e whakaaro ana kāore he hanganga karihi hou, ā, e tohu ana i te whakatārewatanga o ngā tipu karihi 96 o ā mātou 99 e mahi ana i te tau 2050. Ko te tauira whakatinanatanga a te EPA, "Tātai 1 -- Kāwanatanga", e whakaatu ana i te āhua ōrite: kāore he hanga hou, ā, e 96 ngā reti hei te tau 2050. Arā, e whakaaro ana te EPA ka mutu te ahumahi karihi i te tau 2050. He tino nui ēnei whakaaro nā te mea e whakatau ana i te āhua o te whakatakoto i ngā whāinga tuku me ngā mahi a te kāwanatanga ka whiwhi i te nama ki aua whāinga....
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe: Ko te pūngao karihi te pūtake nui rawa atu o te pūngao kore-carbon, e whakaputa ana i te 60% o to tatou hiko kore-carbon. Na he aha te mahere āhuarangi a te Perehitini, e kīia ana hei whakaiti i ngā tukunga waro, e kore ai e nui ake te mahi ki te pūngao karihi?
