President Bush is not to blame for the EPA's unwillingness to regulate CO2 emissions. I won't get into the merits of the case, but the politics is clear: Bush's EPA merely continued its practices, and while he could have made Commonwealth of Massachusetts et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency moot, he did not. For the record, that was a case brought by a Republican governor against a Democratic administration.
So why are environmentalists in love with Al Gore? If as Vice President he couldn't even go as far as the Supreme Court has now gone in regulatory protection, what could they reasonably expect of him as president?
