Republican: George Bush made you environmentally foolish, Why? Some leaders in the Republican party supported the protection of the environment. For example, Republican President Theodore Roosevelt was a prominent conservationist whose policies eventually led to the creation of the modern National Park Service.[47] Republican President Richard Nixon was responsible for establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970.[48] In 2006, Arnold Schwarzenegger, then the Republican Governor of California, signed into law a set of carbon emission regulations that were the countrys first cap on greenhouse gases, and included vehicle emissions standards higher than those of the Federal Government.[49][50] These regulations were opposed by the George W. Bush administration.[49] More recently, California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, with the support of 16 other states, sued the Federal Government and the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the right to set vehicle emission standards higher than the Federal Standard,[49] a right to which California is entitled under the Clean Air Act. As a result, Schwarzenegger, with the support of 16 other states, sued the federal government and the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the right to set vehicle emission standards higher than the Federal Standard.[49][51] thetimes-tribune/opinion/pre-emptive-strike-on-cleaner-air-1.1770015
