Well well well, seems like the 98% of the scientific world was right after all. Global warming is real and is a threat.
Now our President is all up and excited about getting 15 major countries involved in solving this crisis.
Sorry Buster but this attempt at making your pitiful administration relevant is not going to work.
Yesterday President Bush announced that global warming is real and a threat to us all.
Bush is proposing that the United States and about a dozen other nations hold a series of meetings to set long-term goals by the end of next year for reducing greenhouse gases. The final list of nations has not yet been decided, but other participants would likely include India, China, Brazil, Russia, Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea and the European Union.
He envisions that each country will set goals on how they want to improve energy security, reduce air pollution and cut greenhouse gases in the next 10 to 20 years. Leaders from power generation, alternative fuels and transportation industries would form working groups to share clean-energy technology.
"We will create a strong and transparent system for measuring each country's performance," Bush said. "The way to meet this challenge of energy and global climate change is through technology, and the United States is in the lead."
However it seems like the rest of the world is saying WTF!!! Nations around the globe have already agreed to the terms of the Kyoto Protocol and just now our nutcase of a leader decided to throw his hat into this discussion. Many critics just don't believe him.
David Doniger, climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said Bush will have no credibility with the countries he wants to bring to the table unless he's committed to specific limits to cap the United States' own contributions to global warming.
"The president is warming up to throw his opening pitch while business, states and the rest of the world are already at the top of the ninth inning," Doniger said. "It is nothing less than embarrassing that three of the world's biggest oil companies are calling for tougher measures than the White House."
I stongly believe that this administration is trying everything they can to distract the country from the horrible job they have done. A few days ago Bush stated we need to help Dafur, then he announced that we needed to help fund the fight against aids, and now this. Sorry Mister Bush, but at least this person is not going to buy your little game of three card monty. Your administration will go down in history as the most corrupt, most political, and worst in the history of this country and no amount of back tracking on global issues will help you.
