Bush Lies Again, Claims US Leader In Fighting Global Warming

Our delusional Decider in Chief made another mind boggling statement yesterday when he claimed the US lead the world in fighting climate change! Say what?

In his own words speaking to the issue of the world’s view of America in regard to climate change he said,

“Now, look, I understand stereotypes are hard to defeat. People get an image planted in their head, and sometimes it causes them not to listen to the facts. But America is in the lead when it comes to energy independence; we’re in the lead when it comes to new technologies; we’re in the lead when it comes to global climate change — and we’ll stay that way.”

Perhaps Mr. Bush has been breathing too many carbon emissions or maybe he is just a pathological liar, but the truth is very different from his statement.

This is the man who refused to sign the Kyoto Protocols and according to a report on ThinkProgress.org, at the UN conference in Bali in December, the US objected to the proposal — backed by Britain and the EU — to cut carbon dioxide emissions 24-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. “We have problems with defining the numbers up front,” the White House’s head climate negotiator explained.

Six months earlier, Bush single-handedly killed a statement of commitment to halving emissions by 2050 by the leaders at the G8 summit.

This kind of wacko talk makes his endorsement of John McCain seem about as useful to the McCain campaign as a burning sack of poop!
