UN climate head calls BushCo bluff

Yvo de Boer says the Bush Administration still isn’t being real about wanting to take part in climate change. The latest Bush proposal commits to binding targets, but only if still-developing countries like China, Brazil and India are similarly bound. De Boer said that question was asked and answered at Kyoto, to not do that, specifically to let these countries lift more of their large populations out of poverty. A BushCo proposal that doesn’t accept that is one that de Boer clearly sees as just one more stalling tactic, combined with new PR spin.
