WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he planned no new action to impose caps on greenhouse gases blamed for global warming despite the Supreme Court ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency must regulate U.S. emissions.

Instead, Bush pointed to his proposal to require cars to burn more gasoline made from home-grown sources like ethanol, and repeated his long-held stance that U.S. action is meaningless without changes by China and India.

"In other words, there is a remedy available for Congress. And I strongly hope that they pass this remedy quickly."

5. Time to impeach the Decider.
Actually, that time was long ago; but better late than never.

3. "Attitude" as opposed to informed decision.
That's all we need to know about him on this.
