I say it's a big difference, too, as what is currently being done is not federally mandated. Yet, the article still misleads the readers, in the sense that apparently, there are plenty who believe nothing is being done by this administration. The fact remains, that much is currently being done and global warming has been officially addressed since 2002. That fact is not even alluded to in the article, among with several other facts.
