The Good, The Bad, and The Bush.

George W. Bush: oil man, rancher, governor, now President of the United States has made many decisions which directly affect our environment.
Just days prior to the release of the energy bill last year, the Environmental Protection Agency withheld an annual report on automobile fuel efficiency. A bootleg copy of the missing report slipped through the cracks and made the news. I can’t for the life of me understand why the Bush Administration authorized automakers to build new cars and trucks that have greater fuel consumption than similar vehicles built in the 1980’s. Roughly 40 percent of our country’s oil is used to fuel automobiles. You don't need to be a scientist to put 2 and 2 together and realize worse fuel economy equals more emissions. More emmisions means more pollution.
Another instance of environmental subterfuge used by the Bush Administration took place in 2004. Dr. James E. Hansen who is a climate expert and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies blew the whistle on George and Co. for deliberately adjusting news releases concerning global warming. Furthermore, they rejected scientific evidence that has shown that global temperatures are rising from air pollution. This blanket of smog covers the Earth trapping in heat which ultimately raises temperatures, melts glaciers, raises sea levels, and produces climatic change. It is a shame our country is the largest contributer to global warming and our legislature ignores the signs.
In closing, it is a sad truth that our President has been bought by some of our country’s biggest polluters. These dirty birds are power companies that have donated 6.6 million for the President and the Republican National Committee according to Public Citizen. These funds directly correspond to a reduction in The Clean Air Act which has allowed power companies to spew more smokestack emissions.
