It's Worse Than You Thought Possible - Grist Systematically Demolishes Bush Climate Claims

[hatrack]

The "Real Story" on the Bush Administrations Policies and Measures Regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions

In preparation for the Major Economies Meeting, the Bush administration distributed a matrix to invited countries, to assist them in documenting their national and international efforts on climate change. The U.S. government circulated a draft documenting activities in the U.S., trying to give the impression that the U.S. is taking meaningful action on climate change.

A number of environmental organizations have analyzed the claims in the U.S. matrix. Their analysis can be found in the shaded right hand column, to help reporters understand the real story behind the administration's claims.

Groups contributing to this effort include:

• American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy
• Climate Solutions
• Greenpeace
• National Environmental Trust
• Natural Resources Defense Council
• Union of Concerned Scientists
• U.S. Climate Action Network

Trust me, this is well worth linking to. It's a perfect summary of lies, inaction, coerced policy and inept spin.

2. They have betrayed us and the Earth

There is absolutely NOTHING Bush could do short of signing a bill to reduce GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 that would even get a notice from me. I suspect I will see a pig fly first.
