Bush on Climate Change

He's wrong on this one. Even if you don't agree about global warming and some have made some persuasive arguments, we must do something!

You'd probably save a lot of energy, if we didn't have to have things like the Glenagles G8 summit. Can't they do it quietly by video conferencing?

The problem is in the States, where they set the wrong example, by using massive SUVs, lots of air-conditioning, coal to generate electricity etc. People here are starting to follow that example, by buying awful surburban tanks. But at least here, the fuel costs are a bit of a deterrent! But not enough!

Bush can't see any way out of his dilemma without harming US jobs. And he knows that too many US jobs are based on the wrong economic model. For instance, Ford doesn't make and sell many small cars in the US, but it does sell lots of massive pick-up trucks and SUVs. So if you urge people to save energy with smaller cars, you actually hurt the economy, much more than you would in Europe.

So he persists with his opposition to global warming, despite nearly all scientists telling he's wrong.
