[QUOTE]WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush unveiled plans on Friday for global warming talks next month that will bring together the world's biggest polluters to seek agreement on reducing greenhouse gases.

Under pressure for tougher action against climate change, Bush invited the European Union, the United Nations and 11 industrial and developing countries to the September 27-28 meeting in Washington to work toward setting a long-term goal by 2008 to cut emissions.

Bush was following through on his pledge in late May to convene a series of conferences with economic powers responsible for producing most of the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.[/QUOTE]

Re: Bush Calls Meeting on Global Warming

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, oh my god that's retarded. Do you think Angela Merkel has made him see the light at the last G8 summit?

Nah, imo this is a strategy to prevent hurting oil interests too much by taking initiative in order to try and influence measures. Or stalling the taking of measures by talking some more.

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=white]Definitely! Bush still opposes the 1997 treaty because of the strain he believes the treaty would put on the economy. As you can see global warming is directly associated with economical reasons.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Re: Bush Calls Meeting on Global Warming

^^^ and the funny thing is that global warming is gonna hurt our economy big time in long term whereas green economy means big bucks (I'm cashing in big time by doing the safety coordination of the contruction of a huge wind farm off the Belgian coast).

So in other words, Bush' logics follows the interests of the oil lobby. Talk about flogging a dead horse eh? ;)

Re: Bush Calls Meeting on Global Warming

he's all talk anyway... [quote] WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 ? The House passed a wide-ranging energy bill on Saturday that will require most utilities to produce 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar power. President Bush has vowed to veto the bill because it does nothing to encourage increased domestic production of oil and gas.
