Like to have been there for that meeting

[Johonny]

President Bush and Chinese President Hu Jintao, leaders of two of the world's worst polluting nations, called Thursday for greater international cooperation in tackling climate change without stifling economic growth. Bush has called for greater reliance on technology to combat global warming. Although early in his first term, he had insisted that the science of what causes global warming was not yet settled, more recently he has been less questioning of a link between human activity and higher global temperatures, and supportive of programs to tackle the problem. Earlier this week, Bush said it was an "urban legend that is preposterous" for critics to suggest that his opposition to the Kyoto treaty showed a lack of environmental awareness or concern about climate change.

You know he's only been President for 6 3/4 years and done zero to start lowering the impact of global warming so you can see how Bush is deeply concerned over the issue. I'm glad to see we are going to use "technology" to solve global warming. What technology? On what technology has * spent money to develope to solve global warming? I feel sorry for any world leader to have to sit and talk to the man on any subject for any length of time.

3. And Gore won't be able to do anything about it either unless he decides to be President

The Presidency is his for the asking and he sure isn't going to have the ability to do something about global warming unless he decides to take it.

It is quite one thing to go around the world begging people to do something about and quite another to be able to sign into law legislation which will effect global warming by reducing it.

4. gotta agree with you there

5. The thing is

He clearly plans to do nothing. His big proposal is to lower tariffs on new technology to help fight global warming. I.E. if you are a country developing alternative technology Bush wants you to give the US the technology cheap. His proposal is anti-capitalism. Basically he's saying why should the US spend money to develop new technology, when he thinks other countries will give it to the US for free. It's amazing he doesn't seem to realize that if the US develops it first it could help fuel a huge new economy!
