Then he really did nothing to earn it except get elected on an "I'm not Bush" platform. Thanks for admitting that.

Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
Not really, The Clean Air Act Passed in 1963, amended in 1970, 1977 and 1990.
Also there was the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955 and the Air Quality Act of 1967 Carter set into motion the study (NAPAP) of the acid rain problem. The first quote clearly says "Since acid deposition was looked upon as a northeastern regional problem and not a national problem, the Clean Air Act was delayed for nine years." After the study was done the Act was amended in 1990 under Bush 1. Bush Legacy http://ehis.niehs.nih.gov/docs/1993/101-3/focus1.html The 1990 amendments are beginning to chalk up the first successes, but seldom are they credited to George Bush. However, Rosenberg, a Bush appointee, says that Bush was the first president to propose an environmental statute to Congress and was the one who broke the 10-year stalemate over passage of the amendments. Goffman recalls how the president forged an unusual alliance, first with environmentalists and then with congressional Democrats, to support the amendments. People in the administration viewed emissions allowance trading as an important regulatory reform to inject into the Clean Air Act, Goffman explained, and the Environmental Defense Fund saw it as a means to get even steeper emissions reductions. "Suddenly you had an environmental group and a Republican White House in agreement on how to deal with a particular and very politically vexing environmental problem," he said. Democrats on Capitol Hill saw the coalition as a opportunity to pass the long-cherished acid raid program. Once the Democrats joined, the coalition was unstoppable. I hope that everything is a bit clearer now. Last edited by machinehead; 12-15-2009 at 04:38 AM. |

Re: Grist for the mill--Climate Change Shenanigans
Can anyone tell me what State our Federal laws were copied off of? Also, can anyone tell me when Catalytic Converters, and Emission Controls were mandated on cars produced in the US? This included, in California, any cars imported into California from anywhere Overseas, btw. Oops, think I answered my first question with the stipulation there, and it became Nationally mandated in 1990. That pesky Check Engine light was added to all cars, to make emission control on vehicles easily monitored by the driver of the car. Any engine condition that can affect the 'quality' of emissions will trigger that light. California had these laws in place a lot sooner. Does anyone remember watching The Price is Right, and people winning cars equipped with California Emissions? This was the earliest legislated form of the Clean Air Act.
