George Bush Thinks Climate Change Is A Joke, So Does India

by | 10th, July 2008

GEORGE Bush’s parting remarks as he left the G8 food fest in Japan:

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Meanwhile:

India issued its National Action Plan on Climate Change in June 2008 disputing man-made global warming fears and declared the country of one billion people had no intention of stopping its energy growth or cutting back its CO2 emissions …

The report declared: “No firm link between the documented [climate] changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established.”

The report made clear that India has no plans to cut back energy usage. “It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people.”

We’ll miss Bush’s sense of humour…
