"Five Democrats battling for their party's presidential nomination put aside their individual differences to unite in attacking the Bush administration's environmental policies during a candidates forum sponsored by conservation groups...The Democrats...touched on such environmental issues as global warming, polluted industrial sites known as brownfields, ethanol, genetically modified foods and auto emissions....Candidates also accused the Bush administration of watering down environmental regulations and failing to enforce those on the books."
