Did Bush do enough at the recent G8 summit to address global warming causes and possible solutions?
Answer:
He did what made sense for him given his current strategy towards the issue of global warming. Some will say he didn't do enough, some will say he did too much, very few will say he was just right. It's not a matter of whether he did enough, he did it. We should focus on what the implications are of what he did and what we want to encourage to happen in the future. Anyone can complain. Always keep your eye on the outcome you are trying to achieve and you'll be better off.
No.
What Bush is saying now translates to:
OK, you got me. Because of the overwhelming scientific evidence I can't keep saying global warming isn't real. So my plan is...
to put off any action until after I leave office.
Of course not, Bush represents the production and sale of oil. Bush has no interest in the effects of Global Warming, he only lives for himself. He doesn't even care about his own children or grandchildren.
Greedy, money mongers!

What? Are you joking?
Maybe a better question would be "did Bush do anything at the G8 summit to address global warming?"
My friends and I couldn't help but to laugh when Bush said that nations need to do more. He and his administration have not only denied that there is global warming, but have fought every attempt to make the U.S. more responsible.
His talk at the summit was mere political rhetoric, and done solely for the cameras.
No, but American presidents rarely do because it will comprise our economy.
We must solve our global warming problems by ourselves we don't need the G-8 influence.
It is not in Bush's personal financial interest to address global warming so I doubt any of his input has any meaning at all.
MAN: It´s called GLOBAL warming because it is a GLOBAL problem.
You might have noticed that we share the same planet and the same atmosphere.
Trying to solve the problem on your own is what was wrong with the US and China. It is clear from the experience that either you get a global agreement and cover everybody or do not have a global agreement in which case even one major player not playing the game would be an excuse for others to do so !
Sorry, politics is just like this !
Global warming is a hoax, played out by scum just to collect more taxes for breathing. MARK my words, they will be soon charging us for how many family memebers we have. Question is, would planting a tree be considered enough of a stupid offset for one person or one family?
Those of who believe in this cult, should do the world a favor, and stop breathing
are you kidding me?
that guy FIRST trys to say global warming doesnt exist
then when he cant do that anymore he makes up huge
exsuses why not to help out on global warming. he is a MORON!
the united states is the BIGGEST threat to global warming because we are country that lets out the most CO2 from our cars in the ENTIRE world. and the government refuses to cut
down on on anything having to do with car travel because they
say it would hurt the economy.
bush is a LOSER and doesnt care whether or not he wrecks the enviorment.
Of course not!
He is a politician, as were the others, not a scientist, and neither were they.
If G8 had had the total sum of scientific data, and some competent scientists who look it ALL over and offer practical suggestions, which is often hard for scientists, not being economists or sociologists, we might get somewhere.
Bush, like the other politicians there, looks to what makes the most political hay for his government, not what is beneficial for the world overall. Those who care and do practical help are never heads of government these days. Or movie makers, or in the UN. Usually are poor, too.
All the political leaders of today are concerned in little tiny areas that affect their careers, their perqs, their retirement, their popularity ratings...and seldom if ever the overall fate of the world. And most all filmmakers and entertainment figures are in the same boat. And they cater to those who want "fun" right now.
Those who think 20-30-50 years ahead and for the general good of the whole world are generally ridiculed, unless it can be twisted to give power and control over everybody to some political group with an agenda.
If you do not believe me, look at the book sales of the books that discuss practical doable projects that will help all the world in the future, vs books on how to be popular, or get lots of money, or manipulate others. QED
Why hell no!
too late for him for anything
I hope not.
I am sick of the government screwing with my life.
Yes.
He wrote it on a sticky note to get to after all of our real problems have been solved.
And exactly what did al do during the eight years he and cigar wrapper willey were in the white house?
He's failed to address the issue of global warming but suceeded in further alienating America from the rest of the world. Why!
With just about every country hammering on Bush's door and telling him to get his act together all he's basically done is to admit global warming is a serious issue and then say he's not prepared to address the issue.
The way Bush is viewed by many outside the US is as an obstinate school-boy, hiding from facts, running away from responsibility, passing the buck to someone else and seemingly hell-bent on turning the US into a pariah.
