Climate Change: White House Obstacles
Writing in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ashley Zeigler and Rep. Dan Frankel want the federal government to get out of the way and let the states take the lead on global warming: “What is the Bush administration doing about this problem? In late September, the administration announced its “strategic plan” to address global warming, which fails to require any reduction in the pollution that causes global warming, let alone achieve the cuts necessary to avoid warming’s worst effects. On the heels of that announcement, the journal Nature revealed that the administration had blocked the release of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report suggesting that global warming is contributing to the strength of hurricanes.
As if blocking reports wasn’t enough, the Bush administration is also putting up roadblocks for states trying to take real and immediate action to cut global warming pollution from cars and light trucks.”
