Bush kills off hopes for G8 climate change plan

Dammit this pisses me off so much.

I agree with the statement Daniel Mittler makes:

It's not even too little too late, but a dangerous diversionary tactic. He doesn't need to start a new process. There already is one. This is meant to slow down the UN process.

Also my take on this: Bush doesn't want global caps, he wants the caps to NOT be on the USA; that is inconvenient after all. Not signing Kyoto is a nice example.

Global warming 'is three times faster than worst predictions'

The study found that nearly three-quarters of the growth in emissions came from developing countries, with a particularly rapid rise in China. The country, however, will resist being blamed for the problem, pointing out that its people on average still contribute only about a sixth of the carbon dioxide emitted by each American.

And in their good right too! As long as the USA refuse to cooperate with the rest of the world and continue the way they are I doubt much will happen to lower emissions.
