In defense of the EPA's atrocious decision to reject California's effort to control vehicle greenhouse gas emissions within its territory, Mr. Bush has this to say: "Is it more effective to let each state make a decision as to how to proceed in curbing greenhouse gases? Or is it more effective to have a national strategy?"
Now, it's first worth pointing out that Mr. Bush does not have the courage to actually commit to a statement, preferring rather to merely cough up a vague, possibly-to-be-taken-rhetorically question. However, were we to give Mr. Bush the benefit of the doubt (and there's oh so much doubt to give him the benefit of) and assume that he was actually trying to suggest - not so very effectively - that it would be better to have a national strategy to curb greenhouse gases, then I would have to agree with him in that regard.
So, I'm waiting. Waiting for the national strategy to curb greenhouse gases. Where is it, Mr. Bush?
I would proffer that, in addition to a national strategy for curbing greenhouse gases, we might also contemplate drafting a national strategy for curbing White House gases.
