SocraticGadfly: Bush the climate Neanderthal

Bush the climate Neanderthal

Other countries have already seen through Bush’s latest round of actionless bullshit on global warming.

And, the more lies Bush tells about “actions” on global warming that aren’t, the madder they get. That anger comes from the developed world:
In a statement entitled “Bush’s Neanderthal speech,” German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said: “His speech showed not leadership but losership. We are glad that there are also other voices in the United States.”

And the developing world:
”There is no way whatsoever that we can agree to what the US is proposing,” South African Environment and Tourism Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk said, describing the Bush administration as “isolated.”

“In effect, the US wants developing countries that already face huge poverty and development challenges to pay for what the US and other highly industrialized countries have caused over the past 150 years,” he said.

Meanwhile, Europeans have a new reason to be angry.

The Mediterranean area is going to have more and more forest fires, due to climate change.

Just don’t sign anything for nine more months, Germany and South Africa, because it won’t be worth the dead, carbon-releasing trees it’s written on.
