"Rising calls for action fall on deaf ears at the White House.: By Gerard Wright.
When he was Governor of Texas, George Bush was - if not a believer - an interested observer of global climate change. His view was that the world needed a cap on carbon dioxide emissions, the most common cause of the greenhouse effect.

Everything changed when the Governor became the President."
