WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush plans to announce on Wednesday an intermediate goal to limit greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, but will not make specific proposals, the White House said on Tuesday.

Bush will "articulate a realistic intermediate goal for reducing greenhouse gasses" and press for incentives for technology aimed at cutting emissions, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

"This speech is not going to lay out a specific proposal," she told reporters. "It is a speech that will talk about a strategy for a way forward and principles for dealing with the problems."


Could someone PLEASE inform Bush that the world has been growing cooler since 1998 and that Global Warming is a complete hoax!

Good grief! Incentives are far better than mandates, but you know good and well that the envirowackos will morph this into mandates eventually. Apparently our president doesn't understand the concepts of incrementalism and slippery slopes.

He's worried about his legacy?
