The Washington Post editorial board is shocked, shocked to discover that when it comes to policies on global warming, the Bush adminstration can’t be trusted to tell the truth on methodology or effectiveness. In sum, emissions are going up and the voluntary measures put in place not only don’t work, but in many cases don’t exist.

If it can’t get its numbers right, why should we take seriously the White House’s declared intention to forge a “constructive and effective approach” to climate change at all?

Indeed.
