re: What I find exceedingly ironic is that Democrats assail Bush for not doing anything about global warming, but when the price of gasoline rises to a point at which people might actually respond and curtail their consumption, Democrats all chime in and blame him for that, too. It's ironic only if you don't think about the problem. Increasing the efficiency of energy clients will both reduce global warming and reduce the price of energy. And pump $'s into the economy and reduce the trade imbalance (funding the ME with debt). But it would also lower profits for big oil... and they are the Bush/Cheney constituency. Any irony there?

Not everyone believes that higher gas prices are a reasonable solution for global warming. I personally do not. We need a solution (or probably a combination of several) that keeps transportation costs low while reducing emissions. -Z
