Evidently, the White House feels differently then the American people. Whitehouse.gov lumps together energy and the environment. The agenda lists many things that would, in theory, reduce greenhouse gases and “Make the US a Leader in Climate Change.” Interestingly, the website’s only mention of the environment is that foreign oil wreaks “havoc” on it.

However, it’s not that energy, climate change, and the environment has been lumped together as one issue that I find interesting. It is that climate change has been pushed onto the policy agenda relinquishing all other environmental issues… even with Americans’ concern for protecting the environment to be greater then that for dealing with climate change.
