Both at home and overseas, there are signs that the White House — after seven years of charges that it was failing to accept and act on science pointing to dangerous human-caused climate change — is aiming to repair its legacy on the issue. Trial balloons are lofting and swirling.
According to the Washington Times today, the White House reached out last week to Republican lawmakers to test whether Mr. Bush could get support for domestic legislation on climate. So far, the only bills put forward aiming to limit greenhouse gases have come from Democrats and a handful of moderate Republicans, most notably Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican and presidential candidate.
