emissions accomplished .....

emissions accomplished .....

The lout in the outhouse faced an international backlash today over his attempts to kill off global plans to tackle climate change.

His bushit majesty was accused of effectively tearing up international agreements to try to reduce carbon emissions.

He threw global efforts to control global warming into confusion by proposing an alternative to the United Nations process.

He made it clear he will block a G8 proposal at a summit in Germany next week to agree binding cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. The great exterminator has also vetoed EU plans for a global carbon-trading scheme under which companies would buy & sell pollution permits.

Furious environmentalists dismissed the US proposals as "empty", claiming they were a further demonstration of his lack of concern about the environment. Daniel Mittler, an analyst at Greenpeace International, said: "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.

In announcing his latest trip to fantasyland, bushit said his “new international climate change framework” was setting "aspirational goals" for reducing carbon emissions but no concrete targets or dates, no enforcement mechanism & no penalties for non-compliance. And, it also wouldn't take effect until four years after Bush leaves office.

Has that familiar “rattus” feel about it …..

Meantime, the great sensitive one has been doing a bit of PR on Iraq. In a meeting with American families whose loved ones have been killed in that insane carnage, bushit gave six of them a commemorative presidential coin, before asking them not to tell the rest of the people who were there. Then, demonstrating his sociopathic sense of humour, the saviour of the world told the families “not to sell them on E-Bay”.

The president's hot air

Mr. Bush Warms Up
The president joins the climate-change debate -- finally.

SHOULD WE be grateful that President Bush has acknowledged the impact of greenhouse gases on the Earth's climate and environment? After six years of questioning the science behind the warnings about global warming and vigorously resisting efforts to do anything about the problem, he claimed Thursday that the United States is ready to take the lead on global climate policy. Mr. Bush wants to convene a series of meetings with the Greenhouse Gas 15, the largest emitters in the world, to "set a long-term global goal for reducing greenhouse gases" that would be effective after 2012. That's when the Kyoto Protocol, which mandates global emissions reductions and which the United States never ratified, expires.
   
There are ample grounds for cynicism in considering this gambit. First, an international forum already exists.
