George W. Bush's environmental policies during his presidency weren't that succesfull to begin with. On his presidential campaign he promised tu reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a considerable amount and a year after he won, he backed down on that promise claiming that carbon dioxide was not a pollutant under the Clean Air Act and that restricting it, it would cause energy prices to go up.

In 2001, he got out of the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that required nations to reduced their greenhouse emissions and even the administration views on global warming were really controversial. They acknowledged it but they claim that it was because of natural causes instead of man made.

On the other hand, under Barack Obama's presidency, the largest marine reserve in the world was established, but to be fair, it was started by Bush's administration, albeit in a much smaller scale. He rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline, voted against Bush's CLean Skies act, raised the fuel efficiency standards and invested in green energy during the Great Recession.

Hope this helps!

What was the long term result of the sumerians working together?
cupoosta [38]

Well, the Sumerians were very hard working and inventive people; most of their inventions are actually used today by almost everyone! (If you didn’t already know) Sumerians invented the first written language, cuneiform, the wheel, the sail boat, the game “Checkers” and much more.  

By Sumerians working together they not only created those things, but they also started trading with others which fulfilled them with much needed food, clothing, and raw materials. So by them opening up to trade, they were able to prosper longer.  

I hope this helps what you are looking for!
