Or not.

All this with reference to this week's honestly meant :rotfl: events:

Sometimes, no compromise is better than a foul compromise, and this is such an occasion. I do not expect Bush to move during the summit, and thus hope that the europeans and the Germans let the summit fail with flying colours, by that america could be better isolated and brandmarked as the world's major roadblock to tackling environmental problems and adapting to climate change. even China was becoming more willing to reconsider it'S stand - and now use the American stubborness again as an excuse not do move at all. Ironically, on national levels the US are far more positive on Green policies than is the administration. I reead that many cities and counties are far ahead of federal policies on renewable energies and emission control. Bush claims credits that are nit his own. However, nobody outside sees the US as world leader in according technologies and policies, but it could become something like that - after Bush is history and hopefully neither Hillary nor a Republican becomes the new president. Bush'S proposals are a fake, and you know what?

I knew that something like this would becoming from the WH short before the summit - it would have been exaclty the thing that I would have done in his place, too, to ease the pressure on me and hoping to deflect european and global pressures a bit withiut needing to coimmit myself to anything real, and obligatory. Well, he can bury that hope - in Germany, most people are just laughing about his "initiative", and many are even angry.

And btw, Mr President, on your remarks in that speech of the US being the global leader in fighting climate change: the global market leader on wind energy technologies and manufacturing solar cells - is Germany (our books are filled with order for the mnext 13-17 years), while concerning according technologies American car makers lack behind considerably behind European and Japanese car manufacturers. You, Mr. President, are leader in only one thing: air pollution, and wasting oil.

And give Mrs. Pelosi a hug when you see here.

Bush is playing for time. But as a matter of fact, his nation already is ahead of him. It's only a question of time, until even america will start to move towards greener policies - necessarily. Green" does not mean "evil". It can boost your prestige - see California, and Arnold.It can boost your economy: see Germany, our ecology-related branches are skyrocketing.

Unfortunately, time is what we do have less and lesser of.
