He was critical of him, he said, because Bush has implemented policies and circumvented the law in order to enrich his donors at the expense of thousands of lives and America's environmental future.
"You can't talk honestly about the environment today ... without being critical of the president," he said.

While he pointed out good work and sound perspectives from past Republican and Democratic presidents Monday, he labeled the Bush administration the worst in history when it comes to the environment. To make his point he outlined a litany of what he sees as Bush's offenses -- from rolling back environmental regulations to dropping lawsuits to naming lobbyists for oil, timber and utility companies to head federal organizations designed to curb environmental abuse.

"We're living in a science-fiction nightmare in this country ... because somebody gave money to a politician," he said.
