Bush administration quietly works to torpedo global warming regulations

White House emailing mayors to oppose greenhouse gas limits
On his way out the door, President Bush seems to be taking one last shot at torpedoing court-ordered action to restrict global warming.

Top Bush administration figures have been e-mailing sympathetic mayors and other allies encouraging them to oppose Environmental Protection Agency rules to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The Supreme Court last year ordered the EPA to craft a proposal to limit the emissions under the Clean Air Act, but the White House made clear it doesn't like the idea.

Seems Bush is determined to screw up as much as possible before he leaves the White House.

2. Is it even Bush that's doing it or the criminals around him?
The last couple of times I've seen him he flat out does not give a shit about anything right now. He's obviously drinking heavily. At the G20 he didn't shake anyone's hand at the group picture and no one wanted to shake his hand. I don't think it's him doing this. It's the criminals around him.

3. It is Cheney. Cheney said a year ago that he would spend the last year
getting rid of all environmental regulations. If you have been watching closely this last year, the environmental protection laws have been taking big hits through Cheney's evil efforts.
