• President Bush will propose his own plan to combat global warming on Thursday, calling for a gradual reduction in U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases as an alternative to the strict Kyoto treaty he rejected last year.
  
  In a plan that Bush is expected to tout as "a new environmental path for America," the administration said it would set goals for greenhouse gas cuts based on U.S. economic growth and give firms incentives to do their share in meeting them. Kyoto, in contrast, set tough mandatory reductions.
  
  Bush would also cut power plant emissions of the three worst air pollutants -- sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury -- by setting emission targets, assigning permits for each ton of pollution, and allowing companies to trade them.

Look at that, he's actually supposed to DO something now, except let other people know that they're at war, so Bush can take all the credits for it.
