Cuz now, after he’s been obstructing national and international efforts to mitigate climate change for years, shirking responsibility for reducing the emissions in the number one greenhouse gas producing nation (per capita, about 4x what China produces), he’s willing to encourage his successor (please please please be Obama) to take some steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Now, I understand that implementing a sustainable energy policy will be hard, and there are those who think that the growing pains will be economically painful. Especially if you make most of your money investing in greenhouse gas emitting fuels, I suppose. So of course, Bush wouldn’t have wanted to be associated with that. But I’m willing to concede that he meant well all this time, and just wanted to check the figures himself before really endorsing a climate change policy. And now that his feet will be off the fire, he’s willing to put someone else’s there. Because that’s just the kinda guy he’s always been. Uhm, nice and well meaning, I mean, not irresponsible and habitually blameless.
