one single policy - but which is it?

When Dan Damon observed that Cheney doesn't seem to believe the climate change is real, Kurt Volker, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, responded: "I would say that we have a single administration policy, which is set by the president and supported by every member of the administration, so you can't single out any one person."

And that policy seems to be "ignore the science," doesn't it?

Damon - in that polite but persistent BBC manner - kept pushing him to acknowledge that what he called "the private sector economic profit motive" is not enough to solve the problem, but he valiantly resisted admitting any need whatsoever for any kind of mandatory limits imposed by anyone at all and insisted that the private sector would find the solution without any need for government interference.

"Trust the Market - the Market will save us." Ah... maybe that's the policy.
