That is the way we all like it. Global warming may be real but the idea that humans can affect it to any extent is a farce.

Fix Kyoto? When the evidence now shows that the Sun's output has been increasing for the past 3 decades? On a personal level, increasing CAFE and appliance efficiency standards would be an economic boon to me - as my major holdings are in "power management" semiconductor companies.

Improved Air Quality for All Americans “America and the world share this common goal: we must foster economic growth in ways that protect our environment. We must encourage growth that will provide a better life for citizens, while protecting the land, the water, and the air that sustain life.” - President George W. Bush The EPA has released important new information about the unprecedented health and environmental benefits of the Clear Skies initiative that President Bush proposed in February. The President will work with Congress to strengthen the Clean Air Act through the passage of Clear Skies so we can improve air quality for all Americans. Clear Skies will clean our skies, bring greater health to our citizens, and encourage environmentally responsible development in America and around the world. The Clear Skies initiative will reduce air pollution from power plants by 70 percent while using a market-based system to keep electricity prices affordable for hardworking Americans. . Cuts power plant emissions of the three worst air pollutants -- nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and mercury. The most significant step America has ever taken to address this problem. Clear Skies will bring Americans much cleaner air, and healthier forests, lakes, and estuaries. Many cities and towns will meet air quality standards for the first time in years. The problem of acid rain will be virtually eliminated, which affects many lakes and forests in the Northeast. Urban smog will be dramatically reduced and nitrogen and mercury deposition. Protects Americans from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Commits America to an aggressive strategy to cut greenhouse gas intensity by 18% over the next 10 years. The initiative also supports vital climate change research and ensures that America's workers and citizens of the developing world are not unfairly penalized. The President's budget in FY 2003 provides $4.5 billion for global climate change-related activities -- a $700 million increase. This includes the first year of funding for a five-year, $4.6 billion commitment to tax credits for renewable energy sources.
