Bush Emission Plan Adds To Environmental Legacy
President George W Bush's plan to stop the growth of global warming emissions is bound to be part of his chequered environmental legacy, a record roundly criticized by conservation groups and political opponents. The broad outlines of the plan call for letting US carbon dioxide emissions peak in 2025, but offer no specifics on how to get there. Bush rejected new taxes, more trade barriers or abandoning nuclear power while focusing on emissions from the power industry.
