Pelosi Statement on Presidents Announcement on Climate Change
Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today ahead of President Bushs expected announcement this afternoon of Administration efforts on climate change:
After seven years of denying the seriousness of the climate crisis and delaying tough action to save the planet, President Bush finally will discuss the subject this afternoon. With just nine months left in his term, the White House has already made clear that the Presidents announcement today will not reverse his record on global warming before he leaves office.
The President should encourage the efforts of governors and mayors across the country who stepped into the void of leadership when the Bush Administration failed to act. His Administration has been obstructing efforts by states, such as California, to take tough action against global warming.
The President should support the efforts of the New Direction Congress to pass historic cap-and-trade climate legislation, which will begin to limit emissions and serve as a basis for global cooperation. Instead, he is expected to reject all legislative efforts currently underway.
The President should begin using his regulatory power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, he has failed to utilize these tools, even in the face of the Supreme Courts ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency can take action to prevent greenhouse gas pollution.
As we are honored by the visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, the President should heed his warnings about our moral responsibility to act, calling for a strong commitment to reverse those trends that risk making the situation of decay irreversible.
Withered old hag...
“His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI”
Isn’t he one of the bitter people clinging to religion? :-)
the ONLY house that nancy pelosi should be speaker of !
New Direction Congress.
Zero Accomplishments. Year 2.
Once again we see Democrats kick Bush in the teeth. They are forever feigning their sincere desire and interest in rising above politics and moving beyond partisanship, but their record of deeds is abundantly clear. They ONLY care about partisanship and are simply not at all interested in political dialog. It is all about partisan games and the ability and attempt to accrue more power unto themselves by whatever means possible. Such a gracious statement by Pelosi.
Nancy Loudmouth Pelosi, go to hell, please
Well, Bush is getting what he deserves - as if joining the AGW club is going to get him any chits with the liberals or the media. McCain is going to find that out real soon also.
Isn’t she living in SanFransicko already?
And STFU Nancy you flaccid old Marxist hag.
I guess Nancy didn’t hear that we’re supposed to have snow flurries tomorrow night. Ah, but it’s all caused by global warming, doncha know.
Now, now, they accomplished one thing. They got the minimum wage increase that helped less than 1% of the working population.
“the seriousness of the climate crisis...”
Gotta call stuff a “crisis” so it’ll be easier to lift your wallet!
Really....
She sounds like adults on a Peanuts special.
oh.. yeah.. she is. lol
Man-made facial changes are eroding her landscape at a considerable pace.
The President should . . . the President should . . . the President should think for himself.
