Even the business community is coming to grips with the need to try to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.   Where's W?

U.S. companies including General Electric Co. and Duke Energy Corp. have
come out in support of national limits on carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse-gas emissions that scientists say contribute to global warming.
They are now being joined by Republican lawmakers who have parted company
with President George W. Bush on the issue.

In addition to Inglis, who says he saw evidence of heat- trapping gases in
the atmosphere during his trip to Antarctica, the list includes Senators
Pete Domenici of New Mexico, the chairman of the chamber's Energy
Committee; Mike DeWine of Ohio; and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, as
well as Representative Jim Leach of Iowa.

``Resistance to action on climate change is crumbling,'' says Reid Detchon,
an Energy Department official under former President George H.W. Bush who
is now head of energy and climate at the United Nations Foundation. ``The
business community has a number of prominent leaders arguing for action,
and the science on climate change becomes clearer and more inescapable by
the day.''
