This does not mean that the ridiculous scenarios in the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” or that the most alarmist warnings of some environmentalists are true after all (although the melting of the Greenland ice sheet could have some serious consequences). Nor does it necessarily argue for adoption of the flawed Kyoto treaty on global warming, which was rejected overwhelmingly by the Senate for good reason.
Despite earlier arguments for President Bush to move forward with Kyoto. I guess now that the election is over - and their guy lost - they no longer feel compelled to blame everything on President Bush. Oh, oh - not so quick:
The Bush administration promised to come up with its own plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has yet to come up with something that will do the job. Now that Bush has won a second term, it’s time for him to fulfill that promise. Getting behind the McCain-Lieberman bill would be a good way of meeting that obligation.At least they haven't tied this around the President's neck - yet.
