A Climate Agenda For The New President, Lisa Heinzerling
Michigan Law Review First Impressions
The Bush Administration squandered eight years denying the reality of climate change and delaying action on it. Nevertheless, the president who comes into office in January will face two happy realities. First, whatever the Bush Administration has done (through obstruction or inaction) on climate change can easily be undone due to its legal and scientific flimsiness. And second, statutes now on the books provide plenty of legal authority for swift action on the most important environmental issue of our time.

Since the beginning of history, people have used farm animals to assist with their work and to provide a source of food.
