Collins misoverestimates Bush NYT columnist gives president too much credit on climate, which ain't hard	David Roberts	19 Apr 2008	Gristmill
New York Times columnist Gail Collins begins today's piece with a glaring error. She says: Didn't know we had any goals for curbing global warming? Where were you in 2002 when the president put us on the road toward reducing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent by 2012? Now, Collins spends the rest of the column deriding that goal, and the new goal Bush announced on Wed., as she should: both goals are worth deriding. But that wasn't what Bush an ...

Bush to push for climate legislation?	David Roberts	14 Apr 2008	Gristmill
This is in the Washington Times, so take it with a very large grain of salt: President Bush is poised to change course and announce as early as this week that he wants Congress to pass a bill to combat global warming, and will lay out principles for what that should include. Specifics of the policy are still being fiercely debated, but Bush administration officials have told Republicans in Congress that they feel pressure to act now because they fear a com ...
