Bush Announces Useless Efforts To Deal With Global Warming

PRESIDENT BUSH will call for an "intermediate goal" for climate change policy today, although news reports indicate that he will not come out in support of any specific proposals. As such, it sounds like the new goals may not be all that different from the administration's previous endorsement of "aspirational" policy and voluntary actions where carbon emissions are concerned. This despite the protestations of environmental groups that voluntary measures are not likely to succeed.
