(H/T – Jon Ham)
I like the way President Bush left his last G8 meeting (relayed by The Daily Telegraph):
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter."
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
Nothing quite like one last knife twist before we elect a Gorebal “Warming” acolyte. ‘Tis a shame that we’re about to lose the political battle even as the scientific one is being won.
Revisions/extensions (6:13 pm 7/10/2008) – Jim Hoft reminds us that Red China is now #1 in that department. I wonder where the entirety of the EU would be if it were treated as a single entity instead of more than a dozen.
America’s record on pollution is that its rate of CO2 increase release, at 6%, is just about half the 11% increase average of the signers of Kyoto. Yeah, actual tonnage comes out more or less even, but the US is accomplishing more without the whip of Kyoto than others are with it.
An inconvenient truth.
I think he should have added a few…um….gestures as well. :)
Teqjack – The marvels of free enterprise. Too bad both candidates want to stick the heavy hand of government into the mix.
Kate – The fist pump is universal; the finger isn’t.
