"Five years ago if you had asked the top 20 environmental leaders what the gravest threat to the environment was, they would have given a whole range of answers," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the onetime attorney general and a lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council. "Today, they would be united in saying it's George W. Bush."

"The environment is probably the single issue on which Republicans in general - and President Bush in particular - are most vulnerable," Republican pollster Frank Luntz said in a memo last year.
