U.S. Senate says 'NO' to Obama climate regs

The Senate has voted 52-46 for a measure that would block President Barack Obama's highest-profile climate regulation, a symbolic rebuke that comes less than two weeks before he is due to travel to Paris for negotiations on a major global warming deal.

The White House says Obama would veto the resolution, which aims to prevent the (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency from implementing new limits on greenhouse gas pollution from power plants.

But Republican leaders say its passage underscores their message to other world leaders:
Congress is not behind Obama's agenda, and a GOP president would most likely abandon his focus on climate change.
The House is expected to approve a similar set of resolutions as early as Nov. 30, the first day of the Paris climate summit.
