Bush to gut Clean Air Act?

The following is not particularly encouraging for those believing that a major part of government's call to do justice is to care for the commons, including the physical environment: "Bush plans to ease air pollution rules." One would think that a president with seemingly impeccable pro-life credentials would take more seriously the need to seek public justice in this area, given that pollution threatens not only quality of life, but life itself. Unfortunately self-styled conservatives generally tend to be soft on environmental issues.
