The way to meet this challenge of energy and global climate change is through technology–George W. Bush

right….technology, once again, the cause of and solution for all our environmental problems.

US President george W Bush has seized the initiative on climate change in a move that pleased some fellow world leaders but infuriated his environmental critics.

In a striking change of tone, he says he wants America to be part of a global climate deal when the first period of the Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012.

Meanwhile the G8 Summit is taking place in Germany next week, which makes this “skepticism” all the more relevant:

“This is a transparent effort to divert attention from the president’s refusal to accept any emissions reductions proposals at next week’s G8 summit,” said Philip Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust in America.

“After sitting out talks on global warming for years, the Bush administration doesn’t have very much credibility with other governments on the issue,” Mr Clapp added.
