The Bush administration's refusal to cap carbon dioxide emissions acted as a catalyst, with 24 states acting on their own to put in place regional cap and trade networks. Some 27 states enacted renewable portfolios, mandating local power companies to produce more of their electricity from sun, wind and solar power. "A lot of things happened because the Bush Administration was so negative about a lot of things," said Claussen.<br />*****************http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/jan/16/greenpolitics-georgebushmmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-53887897984846541612016-01-28T16:35:38.985-05:002016-01-28T16:35:38.985-05:00So cute you pretend to think this should be a news...So cute you pretend to think this should be a news source since it criticizes your heroes.<br /><br />So cute the way you pretend you're a satirist since you can copy and paste.<br /><br />You're just worlds of cute!Anonymous Brings Itnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-11480723181855253572016-01-28T16:30:16.371-05:002016-01-28T16:30:16.371-05:00"(Except for CO2, which is different from the..."(Except for CO2, which is different from the real pollutants.)"<br /><br />Double O.M.G.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-83116612377509454592016-01-28T16:28:44.599-05:002016-01-28T16:28:44.599-05:00"Yet, during his Presidency, the environment ..."Yet, during his Presidency, the environment improved."<br /><br />O.M.G.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-37987086353758895362016-01-28T15:47:40.726-05:002016-01-28T15:47:40.726-05:00Greg's gonna hate this post.Greg's gonna hate this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-13922963260047252882016-01-28T15:22:31.968-05:002016-01-28T15:22:31.968-05:00So, you folks planning on having a nice cool glass...So, you folks planning on having a nice cool glass of Flint water anytime soon?Klaatu Fellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356095657056362583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-21609136725891190272016-01-28T14:30:56.654-05:002016-01-28T14:30:56.654-05:00As I wrote earlier, the prevailing narrative is th...As I wrote earlier, the prevailing narrative is that environmental problems get exaggerated, while environmental improvement gets ignored. I recall George Bush being severely criticized by environmental organizations (some that got money from me). Yet, during his Presidency, the environment improved. Even though he didn't introduce many new measures, the existing measures were working. Virtually every pollutant got better. (Except for CO2, which is different from the real pollutants.) But, nobody knew that the air and water were getting cleaner. That fact wasn't reported; it wasn't in the narrative.David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-72381672177580990232016-01-28T14:08:58.301-05:002016-01-28T14:08:58.301-05:00"On the Maddow show, you get a lot of shamele..."On the Maddow show, you get a lot of shameless clowning, mixed with a lot of proselytization. <br /><br />Information?
