A Turning Point In Bush's Global Warming Strategy
Margaret Carlson argues that President Bush's strategy of "denial" about global warming may have reached a turning point.
"Bush is always awaiting yet another study to prove a link between greenhouse gases and global warming because the one in his hands isn't good enough. To make sure he didn't get a study that would force him to act, Bush hired Philip Cooney, the former lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute...Scientists would issue a study, and Cooney, with his blue pencil in hand, would happily doctor it up...Just two days after the New York Times reported on his editorial climate changes, Cooney discovered a pressing need to spend more time with his family. After one weekend of that, he discovered a pressing need to work at Exxon."
