President Bush's Environmental Move
Eco Anger
(Fox News) - President Bush has been heavily criticized by environmentalists during his time in office. The Natural Resources Defense Council on its Web site accuses the Bush administration of "dismantling safeguards, ignoring climate concerns... and catering to industries that endangered Americans' health and natural heritage."
That's a characterization the Bush administration dismisses. In fact, today President Bush announced the largest marine conservation effort in history. Three remote Pacific island chains — totaling almost 200,000 square miles — have now been designated national monuments.
The areas include the Mariana Trench, the Rose Atoll in American Samoa and seven other Pacific islands.
Even Greenpeace is applauding the president's efforts with Greenpeace Oceans Campaign Director John Hocevar saying, "The Bush administration has raised the bar with these new monuments."
