But while the report says the United States will be substantially changed in the next few decades — "very likely" seeing the disruption of snow-fed water supplies, more stifling heat waves and the permanent disappearance of Rocky Mountain meadows and coastal marshes, for example — it does not propose any major shift in the administration's policy on greenhouse gases.
It recommends adapting to inevitable changes. It does not recommend making rapid reductions in greenhouse gases to limit warming, the approach favored by many environmental groups and countries that have accepted the Kyoto Protocol, a climate treaty written in the Clinton administration that was rejected by Mr. Bush.
Well yes and no. He may not agree with the report but the fact remains, it came out during his term. I'll wait and see what he has to say about it, before I give him a pass.
If he says its all based on junk science and everyone should feel free to ignore it, than I'll be smiling. Otherwise he is responsible, after all he's the boss.
