Stop The Presses! White House Acknowledges Existence Of Stern Report!!

[hatrack]

Oct 30, 2006 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Monday gave a nod to a British report urging action on global warming but one environmentalist said the Bush administration goals on climate change amount to business as usual. The report by former World Bank chief economist Nicholas Stern said immediate international action to stabilize the greenhouse gas emissions that spur global warming would have economic benefits that would far outweigh the costs.

In an e-mailed statement, the White House Council on Environmental Quality said, "The U.S. government has produced an abundance of economic analysis on the issue of climate change. The Stern Report is another contribution to that effort."

The statement from spokeswoman Kristen Hellmer said the United States is "well on track to meet the president's goal to reduce greenhouse gas intensity of our economy 18 percent by 2012."

ED: Well, isn't that just SOOOOOOOO special?!?

The problem, said Annie Petsonk of Environmental Defense, is that this goal essentially requires only the status quo. "This is just business as usual for this economy," Petsonk said by telephone. "The result is no reduction in America's total greenhouse gas emissions."

1. When you think WH, think of it flled with CEO's and stockholders

making the decisions for and with Dick. There is no WH separate from corporations who cannot tolerate or profit under controls.

2. They also don't want any issues with the labor provided by

illegal residents. Right wingers are ruining their profits by demanding that a wall be built.

It all fits together. Their corporate legal standing, money landering, and storing facilities are all off shore - to parallel our jobs that went off-shore. These people like little countries and islands where their secrecy and distance protects them while they attempt to destroy the middle class in this country so that we can work as cheaply as foreigner who they are presently paying, instead of us.

We are dissentors - foreigners are submissive and obedient and don't have to be given benefits and are not subject to unemployment compensation, equal rights lawas, and all those human policies that humans came up with over decades.

Yes, that is the WH - the right wing WH exists for these ceo's, including Dick - the bunkered down dual-role guy.

3. The key term is "greenhouse gas INTENSITY". As they define it this allows

them to just maintain the status quo and make it look like they've made progress. Oh those repubs!
