"Here is my guess, and I know that I'm right. I will bet my car, in fact. Bush will come out, this president when he leaves office, will come out in the next decade or so as a strong advocate on behalf of ending global warming. He will be ... he will have an environmentally conscious post presidency ..."

Carlson, what good will that do after his wasting 8 freaking years when he had the power to actually do something? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he will at least be "conscious".

... [T]he Department of the Interior today conceded that seven out of eight decisions made during the tenure of Julie MacDonald, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, warrant revision.
"Julie MacDonald, who was a civil engineer by training, should never have been allowed near the endangered species program. This announcement is the latest illustration of the depth of incompetence at the highest levels of management within the Interior Department and breadth of this Administration's penchant for torpedoing science. Today we hear that seven out of eight decisions she made need to be scrapped, causing us once again to question the integrity of the entire program under her watch," [House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick] Rahall said.
... The latest announcement outlines seven specific Endangered Species Act decisions that Interior has determined were "inappropriately influenced" by MacDonald. The Fish and Wildlife Service had announced on July 20 that it intended to review eight ESA decisions where it appeared that MacDonald had played a significant role in asserting her own political interests to overrule scientific decisions on endangered species recovery.

Yeah, and I bet my Trek bike that in "a decade or so" no one will remember or give a rat's a** about your prediction back in 2007. Bush is largely irrelevant now. After Jan 21, 2009 no one will even answer his phone calls.
