I will say this: Bush should not have this coming out of his White House's EPA, because, in it, he (i.e., his administration) talks out of both ends of his alimentary tract.
It indeed says that there are no changes in Administration policy planned.
But, amazingly, the report has as a 'given' that there IS climactic change due the presence of man, industry, fossil fuel, etc., and that it may cause environmental harm that is potentially serious, in the United States.
If so, W, aren't you as an Administration, supposed to consider some way to improve the situation?
This fuzziness is all it takes for W to have given away the farm to the liberals, and Rush is entirely correct to crack on him for this.
Because it is not at all established that there is any sort of global warming going on at all.
But if it WERE established, (and this is a premise of the document) then W's Administration sure as h&ll ought to have something more in mind than, "No changes in administrative policy are planned."
To even hint that there is going to be some effect on snowmelt water supplies, coastlines, etc., is totally inflammatory to the populace, and so, to the Greens it is the same as to give away the GOP farm.
It is to acknowledge that the sky is falling, when it really is not.
One aside: A table in the back does show small, gradual increases in estimates of CO2 production by fossil fuel burning, and a concomitant loss in "woody biomass stocks" a.k.a., trees.
Nobody has suggested just planting a boatload of trees, except as an aside program for middle school students.
If W had any brains, he would not have let this panic-piece out, and would have just said, "There is no evidence of global warming. There is a little more CO2 production, and a few less trees to soak up the CO2. It would make sense to plant more trees, since there are fewer of them around today than in the time of George Washington.
That's what he should be doing, instead of kissing some Saudi Prince's a$$ at his Texas Double Wide Ranch.
This is exactly what Rush was complaining about. In fact, he said he's upset that "the WH signed onto a report that insults my intelligence."
