Pelosi: Climate Change Is A Reality (Actual Headline!)

[hatrack]

Gee, thanks Madame Speaker. Thanks a whole fucking bunch for your bold stance.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday she led a congressional delegation to Greenland, where lawmakers saw "firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality," and she hoped the Bush administration would consider a new path on the issue.

After meeting with German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel, Pelosi praised Berlin for its leadership on the issue.

Her trip comes ahead of next week's Group of Eight summit and a climate change meeting next month involving the leading industrialized nations and during a time of increased debate over what should succeed the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 international treaty that caps the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted from power plants and factories in industrialized countries. It expires in 2012.

President Bush rejected that accord, saying it would harm the U.S. economy and unfair excludes developing countries like China and India from its obligations. Pelosi, who strongly disagrees with that decision and many other of Bush's environmental policies, said Friday she said she wants to work with the administration rather than provoke it. Pelosi said she hoped Bush would be open to considering a "different way" in the future.

2. Does Seem an Odd Tradeoff, Doesn't It?

Screw the Iraqis and the troops, which you can actually do something about, so that you can keep your luncheon date in Greenland?

3. You just keep hoping, Nancy. We're right there with ya.

Hope that Bush recognizes the danger and does something about global warming.

Encourage Bush to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home.

Pray that Bush doesn't start any new wars.

You just keep right on, Nancy.

And while he's kicking you in the face, remember you do have the power to put a stop to Bush.

Which means America is hoping that you recognize the danger Bush presents to our country, and do something about it.

America encourages you to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home.

And America prays that you don't allow Bush to start any new wars.

See, Nancy, how it all comes full circle?
