George Bush and the enviroment

I was surprised to hear that Bush was creating the marine national monuments, because Bush has blown of many environmental problems, and i have always thought of him as being more big business oriented. The article Bushes seven deadly environmental sins is written from as similar point of view. It explains that Bush has done little to stop global warming, and has refused to agree to green house gas regulation laws "Bush's Environmental Protection Agency refused to regulate the greenhouse gas CO₂ as a pollutant, even after the Supreme Court ruled that CO₂ is a pollutant and the EPA can regulate it." He has abandoned protection on endangered species, and his main concern seems to be drilling for oil"A whopping 35,000 drilling permits have been issued for onshore federal lands during the past seven years" I think that the marine national monuments that Bush has constructed are his way of making up for being environmentally unfriendly throughout his presidency.
