It's Brazil all over again!
again, like father like son, the US, under a Bush regime, has refused to sign a world environmental treaty and because of this, the kyoto protocol has lost all sort of political and economic credibility in the eyes of the international audience. which country now truly holds to the agreements made in Brazil (was this in 1990?)? US withdrawal has left the Kyoto Protocol in doubt, since it requires support from 55 countries producing 55 per cent of greenhouse gases, and the US produces 25% of all greenhouse gases. One of the first major countries to pull out because of US non-compliance is Australia.
I am not a fervent environmentalist, but then the situation does stink. i wish the US would at least try to BE the house on the hill instead of pretending to be so.

This is just one more reason that I would like to see the introduction of a world government, where we all lived under the same rules. I know it's Utopian, but at least it would cut down on all of these idiots playing God... if only they knew what they were doing.
I agree. Bush is owned by large corporations that pollute. He only won by 3 votes in Florida and he acts like he has a Reagan mandate to reverse everything. He sucks as a leader. His dad had guts as he was head of the CIA but Bush Jr, he is just a wimp.
