Air Quality Improved During Bush Administration

All we hear is how the evil Republicans do not care about the environment and how big evil capitalist only care about their profits and could care less about the environment. What do you know, a report from the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research as release a report that says levels of numerous gases linked to air pollution have fallen off since 2001.

Among the findings: Carbon monoxide decreased by 39 percent, ozone by 6 percent, and sulfur dioxide by 32 percent.

"Pick any category you want and pollution levels are generally lower than they were seven years ago," said Steven Hayward, the policy analyst who authored the report, titled "Index of Leading Environmental Indicators," for the conservative think tank.

"(Environmental groups) said air pollution was out of control, but this was always more about politics than it was fact," Hayward said.
