This is what Bush said today....notice what he blames it on....HIS EPA appointee, HIS chairman of the committee appointee...and now they are bureaucrats. Excuse ME! You appointed them...SHRUB! "WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Tuesday dismissed a report put out by his administration warning that climate changes caused by human activity could have significant effects on the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency compiled the report for the United Nations from information provided by its own climate experts and those of five other agencies. It puts most of the blame for recent global warming on the burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the environment. But it suggests nothing beyond voluntary action by industry for dealing with the so-called "greenhouse" gases, the program Bush advocated in rejecting a 1997 treaty negotiated in Kyoto, Japan, calling for mandatory reduction of those gases by industrial nations. "I read the report put out by the bureaucracy," Bush said Tuesday when asked about the EPA report, adding that he still opposes the Kyoto treaty. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the report was the result of work by staff at the agencies and the White House's Council on Environmental Quality, whose chairman was appointed by Bush to serve as his principal environmental policy adviser
