President Barack Obama today announced the final version of a landmark rule aimed at forcing states to cut greenhouse gas pollution from power plants.

"Climate change is no longer just about the future that we're predicting for our children or grandchildren, it's about the reality that we're living with every day," he said.

The rule is the central plank of Obama's environmental agenda and crucial to his hopes for achieving a global agreement to stem climate change, a problem that scientists call a threat to human civilization.

But the regulation has drawn fierce opposition and threats of lawsuits from GOP lawmakers and coal-dependent industries, which say it will force coal-fired power plants to shut down, prevent new ones from opening, make electricity more expensive and possibly cause blackouts. Hillary Clinton and other Democrats running for president have praised the rule, while Republican 2016 hopefuls condemn it.
