The Bush administration yesterday laid out a long-term "strategic plan" for using technology to curb the impact of global warming, reiterating its position that basic scientific research and voluntary actions can curb greenhouse gases linked to climate change.

Addressing complaints by environmentalists and some scientists that Bush has not done enough to cut the nation's emissions of such gases, Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman said the 244-page "Climate Change Technology Program Strategic Plan" promotes initiatives such as sequestering carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere and promoting hydrogen-powered cars.

Energy Department officials described the plan -- which has taken four years to produce -- before the House Science subcommittee on energy yesterday. It immediately came under fire from senior Hill Republicans as well as several outside scientists and policy experts.

"It's good as far as it goes, but it needs to go a lot further," House Science Committee Chairman Sherwood L. Boehlert (R-N.Y.) said in an interview after the hearing. "It's good to look ahead, but people expect something immediate, as well as futuristic.

John Coequyt, an energy policy specialist for the advocacy group Greenpeace, said that the plan's biggest flaw is shown by the 2010 start of its initial goals.

"The big picture from the Bush administration is always the same: This is a long-term problem that will be solved by another administration," Coequyt said. "It's time to start talking about what are the things we can do tomorrow."

Now are they going to take back all the nasty things they (and their mouthpieces) said about Al Gore when "An Inconvenient Truth" came out? (FAT CHANCE.)

So Georgie won't be placed in the awkward position of having to admit he was wrong?
