Bush stands firm on Kyoto pact
by James G. Lakely, Washington Times

"President Bush yesterday stood fast in his rejection of the Kyoto climate treaty, and the consensus document on climate change at this week's Group of Eight summit in Scotland is not likely to reflect the more urgent and radical view of many European powers."

My view: Are we in the midst of "global warming"? Maybe ....... or maybe not. More importantly, is it natural or man-made? I believe it is the the natural way of things. We have had warming periods, an ice age, a mini-ice age, all before the advent of cars (specifically SUV's), and factories, and the burning of fossil fuels.

Can we stop it? No.

One must also ask, "Why is Europe, the socialists, the liberal left, abroad, as well as those here in the U.S., and the environmentalists so keen on the U.S to sign onto the Kyoto?"

I agree with Neal Boortz:

For what has seemed like an eternity, the enviro-whackos have been jumping up and down screaming about how the Bush Administration is doing nothing about global warming. If only he would sign the much-vaunted Kyoto protocol, that would make everything better, we're told. But to this day, George Bush has refused to go along with it.

Democrats, including The Poodle and Bill Clinton have pushed the Kyoto agreement. Liberals talk about how our standing in the world is suffering because we won't go along with it. After all, most other countries, including England, have signed it.

Just why do you think so much of the world wants the U.S. to sign the Kyoto treaty? Because it would weaken the United States, that's why. Remember, a recent European poll showed that 58% of Europeans wanted to see the United States weakened economically and militarily worldwide. So .. on the one hand the world seems to want a weaker United States .. and that same world wants the U.S. to sign Kyoto. Duhhhhhh. Connect the dots people!

Yesterday, President Bush stepped out and said exactly why he has not obligated the United States to this disastrous nonsense environmental treaty.

Simply put, if the United States were to sign that agreement, it would destroy our economy. "I couldn't in good faith have signed Kyoto," said Bush. He also noted that China and India weren't part of the agreement...something you don't always hear about when the media talks about Kyoto. Bush also pointed out the obvious real problem, saying candidly: "We're hooked on oil from the Middle East, which is a national security problem and an economic security problem."

He also said more study was needed to prove whether or not human beings cause global warming. That's the kind of thing that causes anti-capitalist, environmental leftists to come completely unhinged. Good."
