How does one focus an issue into public awareness that makes environmental retards look like environmental retards.
Bush Scoffs at Own Administration's Report on 'Global Warming'
Will President Bush ax Environmental Protection Agency chief Christine Whitman? She, or some of the Clinton leftovers under her care, evidently slipped that [22]"global warming" report past the president, and he expressed his displeasure today.
"I read the report put out by the bureaucracy," Bush told reporters. He said he would not accept the Senate-rejected Kyoto Protocol, which would devastate the U.S. economy and give the likes of Mexico and communist China an even greater trade advantage.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer observed that "considerable uncertainty" remained on global warming.
That Monday's report first surfaced in the Bush-hating New York Times indicates that someone in the EPA leaked it without the president's knowledge.
National Public Radio leftist Mara Liasson said today on the Fox News Channel that "the most delicious part" of Bush's reaction was his "sneer - you could almost see his lip curling." She disagreed with the Times' claim that the report showed "a stark about-face" by the White House.
NPR fellow traveler Juan Williams said Bush was "dissatisfied with what he's getting" from his own EPA and claimed that there was no dispute that those rotten humans were causing Earth to heat.
Fred Barnes of Weekly Standard agreed that Bush was unhappy with the EPA. He noted, however, that "there are a ton of scientists who don't believe" human activity causes global warming.
Don't put anything past the EPA. These are the same drones who [23]wanted to price 1 million Americans out of the housing market until others in the administration stopped them.
'Al Gore Did Not Win'
Meanwhile, Competitive Enterprise Institute has this to say:
"The Environmental Protection Agencys latest report on global warming to the United Nations, Climate Action Report 2002, violates an agreement between the White House and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, three members of Congress, and other non-profit advocacy groups, struck in settlement of a lawsuit. The report relies in part on the discredited National Assessment on Climate Change.
"As a result of the lawsuit filed in October 2000, the Bush Administration ultimately agreed in September 2001 to withdraw the National Assessment and stated that its unlawfully produced conclusions are 'not policy positions or official statements of the U.S. government.' EPA has ignored this agreement in issuing its report to the United Nations.
"'Through Freedom of Information Act inquiries, we learned that the National Assessment was hurriedly slapped together in an incomplete and inaccurate form,' said Christopher C. Horner, CEI counsel who filed the lawsuit. 'The current Climate Action Report inappropriately cites the disgraced National Assessment, in clear violation of the spirit and letter of our agreement with the White House in return for withdrawing our suit.'
"Adds Myron Ebell, director of global warming policy at CEI: 'The Administration has recognized that the National Assessment is the worst sort of junk science. For the EPA now to accept the National Assessments findings as valid undermines and contradicts President Bush's global warming policies. The EPA needs to be told that the Clinton Administration is gone and Al Gore did not win the election.'"
