Don't Go Wobbly on Us George The Commons blog By shayward on Climate I was recently related a story of a prominent historian—a liberal Democrat—who visited with President Bush at some length at the White House, where in the course of conversation Bush said that he had changed his mind about some things (though not the Middle East), including the environment. Our interlocutor didn't pursue this topic, being more interested in larger matters. Then, too, there have been rumors the last several days that the Administration might do something to "take global warming off the table" in the 2008 presidential election. Why they would want to do such a thing is beyond me, but there it is. Comes today this report from Mike Allen in Time: "Previewing the final quarter of Bush's presidency, officials disclosed to TIME that the Administration is formulating a huge energy initiative designed to "change the whole nature of the discussion" and challenge the G.O.P., Democrats, the oil and electricity industries, and environmentalists. An adviser said Bush's views about global warming have evolved. "Only Nixon could go to China, and only Bush and Cheney--two oilmen--can bring all these parties kicking and screaming to the table," the adviser said.
