It would destroy President Bush’s legacy now to adopt Al Gore’s global warming policies after pursuing much more effective policies for seven years. It is true that global warming alarmists are filing multiple lawsuits to use the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act to cause a regulatory trainwreck. But President Bush should not give into this political extortion. Instead, he should ask Congress to pass legislation to avoid the regulatory trainwreck, which would then allow an open public debate on global warming. Such a debate is not possible as long as the threat of extortion is there.”
– Myron Ebell, Director of Energy and Global Warming Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute
