It's hard to look intelligent George....

Bush can’t help it. He gets it wrong everyday. Look at this report from Europe:

Reported by the Straights Times – “DIVISIONS over how to confront climate change and regional security are looming over a summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) wealthy industrial economies.
Even before the summit begins today, the United States put a damper on proceedings by opposing a proposal to combat global warming by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the host of the summit, which takes place at the Baltic resort of
Heiigendamm. The proposal calls for an agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2050. The US opposes such a mandated reduction, preferring voluntary country-by-country targets. A lunch meeting between US President George W. Bush and Dr Merkel failed to close the gap, though both sides expressed a willingness to work together on climate change.”

Bush is clearly concerned about his oil interests. So here he is with the thought of “On one hand my oil interests, on the other Global Annihilation”. Hmm which one to take? Like a good politician with the thoughts of the people clearly at heart he chooses his oil interests.

As I have said before calling Bush a “leader” is a clear stretch of the imagination.

Here an interesting report from Greenland:
Video story

Bush is more concerned with the potential for Nuclear weapons in Korea and Iran. Climate takes the back burner. I read a great bit of dialog from the New York Times on this last year when the editorial said something like “oh yea, I get it, we (Americans) have the good nuclear weapons and the Koreans and Iranians have the bad ones; so we can’t allow that!”

So again Bush, leading the biggest Green House gas producing country in the world throws cold water on any sensible suggestion to save humanity – good for you George!
