Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Bush’s new global warming plan a “profound disappointment” on Friday and “said she wants Congress to pass legislation this year to curb greenhouse gas emissions.”
Just returned from a European tour focused on climate change, Pelosi said Bush’s strategy, announced on Thursday, “rehashed stale ideas” and made her question whether the president understands the urgency of global warming.
