The document is an email forwarding a news article about President Bush rejecting a report from the EPA that acknowledges human-caused climate change. The EPA report submitted to the UN states that greenhouse gases are accumulating due to human activities and causing global warming. However, President Bush dismissed the report as coming from "the bureaucracy" and said he does not accept the findings because addressing climate change would harm the economy. He maintains there is still uncertainty around the science of climate change.

The document summarizes the findings of a study examining the effectiveness of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) after 25 years of implementation. Key findings include:
- NEPA has been successful in requiring agencies to consider environmental impacts and allowing public
input, but implementation is sometimes inefficient and documents are too long.
- Five elements are critical to effective NEPA implementation: strategic planning, public involvement,
interagency coordination, place-based interdisciplinary decision-making, and adaptive management.
- Agencies could improve NEPA by integrating it earlier in planning, being more creative in public
outreach, better coordinating with other agencies, and implementing long-term monitoring and
This letter from the Portland Cement Association presents the U.S. cement industry's voluntary program to reduce CO2 emissions through 2020. The three-part program includes: 1) Improving production process efficiency and alternative fuels, 2) Reducing the proportion of calcined materials in product formulation, and 3) Promoting concrete for its energy efficiency and heat mitigation properties in construction. The industry goal is a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions per ton of product by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. The PCA has worked with federal agencies and participated in several climate reporting and mitigation programs.

<P><B><font size="1+l%.President Bush Rejects Climate Change Report</font></b>
<b>By Cat Lazaroff</b><p>
<b>WASHTNGTON, DC,</b> June 5, 2002 (ENS) - The White House is distancing itsel
f from the Bush administration's first report to admit that humans are causing
climate changes. The report from the Environmental Protection Agency, while ack
nowledging that human activities lead to global warming, argues that it is bett
er to adapt to the changes than to try and stop them.
In "Climate Action Report 2002," the third formal U.S. communication to the Uni
ted Nations under the Framework Convention on Climate Change the EPA wrote, "Or
eenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human acti
vities, causing global mean surface air temperature and subsurface ocean temper
ature to rise."

Conservation groups hailed the report as representing a shift in the Bush admin
istration's attitude toward scientific studies showing that the burning of foss
il fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal is creating a blanket of heat trappi
ng gasses around the planet.
But on Tuesday, a day after news agencies gave widespread coverage to the new r
eport, President George W. Bush dismissed the report as having been "put out by
the bureaucracy."
"I do not support the Kyoto treaty," Bush said, reiterating the position he has
held since'his election. "The Kyoto treaty would severely damage the United St
ates economy, and I don't accept that. I accept the alternative we put out, tha
t we can grow our economy and, at the same time, through technologies, improve
our environment."
Later the same day, White House press secretary Ani Fleischer added that the Pr
esident believes that there is "considerable uncertainty relating to the scien
ce of climate change."
<P>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This report submitted to the United Nations also recognizes that any 'definiti
ye prediction of potential outcomes is not yet feasible' and that, 'one of the
weakest links in our knowledge is the connection between global and regional pr
edictions of climate change'," Fleischer added.

The EPA report warns that total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are expected to i
ncrease by 43 percent between 2000 and 2020, despite Bush administration progra
ms to encourage voluntary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the use of
technology to store or sequester excess carbon dioxide (C02).
This rise in emissions will disrupt rain and snowfall patterns, reducing fresh
water supplies in reservoirs fed by melting snow, the EPA report projects. Dang
erous heat waves will strike with increasing frequency in urban centers, and co
astal wetlands, homes and businesses may be inundated by rising sea levels.
Some natural habitats could disappear completely, the report warns.
'A few ecosystems, such as alpine meadows in the Rocky mountains and some barni
er islands, are likely to disappear entirely in some areas," states the report.
"Other ecosystems, such as southeastern forests, are likely to experience majo
r species shifts or break up into a mosaic of grasslands, woodlands and forests

</small></H-5>
Some of these changes have already begun, the EPA says, and little can be done
to stop them. "Natural ecosystems appear to be the most vulnerable to climate
change because generally little can be done to help them adapt," the report say
S.

"Some of the goods and services lost through the disappearance or fragmentation
of natural ecosystems are likely to be costly or impossible to replace," adds
the report.
respite this dire prognosis, the EPA report does not recommend that the U.S. ad
opt the emissions reductions required by the Kyoto Protocol, which President Bu
sh abandoned last year. In fact, the EPA argues that many of the projected effe
cts of global warming in the United States could be positive.
The EPA predicts that global warming will likely increase agricultural producti
vity in many regions by boosting rainfall in regions that grow cotton, citrus f
ruit, sorghum and soybeans.
"Based on studies to date, unless there is inadequate or poorly distributed pre
cipitation, the net effects of climate change on the agricultural segments of t
he U.S. economy over the 21st century are generally projected to be positive,"
the report concludes.

The EPA recommends that humans work on adapting to climate changes that the rep
ort calls "inevitable," rather than spending money and other resources in futil
e attempts to prevent the global warming caused by decades of greenhouse gas em,
issions.

"Because of the momentum in the climate system and natural climate variability,
adapting to a changing climate is inevitable,"~the EPA says. "The question is
whether we adapt poorly or well."
Among the suggested tactics to help humans adapt to global warming are "1increas
ed availability of air conditioning" to reduce the health impacts of heat waves
Other nations are prepared to take more proactive actions to reduce the impact
of global warming. On Tuesday, Japan ratified the Kyoto Protocol, following dlo
se on the heels of Friday's ratification by the 15 members of the European Unio
n. Russia has said it will ratify the pact "as soon as possible."

The United States is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide (C02), the m
ajor heat trapping gas released by burning fossil fuels and the main cause of g
lobal warming. The European Union, Russia and Japan round out the top four C02
emitters.
For the protocol to become legally binding, it must be ratified by at least 55
countries and by industrialized nations that emitted at least 55 percent of the
world's C02 in 1990. If Russia ratifies the protocol, it could take effect bef
ore the end of the year.
The countries that ratify the Kyoto Protocol commit to reducing their emissions
of carbon dioxide to an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels during the fi
ye year period 2008 to 2012.
Because President Bush has withdrawn U.S. support for the agreement, the United
States would not be bound by the protocol's required emissions reductions.
