Bush wilts on climate change

Do cats like milk? Do swallows fly north in the spring? It comes as no surprise that George W. Bush has pulled the USA out of the Kyoto Protocol. He is nothing more than a servant of Big Energy: the oil, coal and power companies.

I would send him a copy of two books, British scientist Jeremy Leggett's Carbon Wars and American writer Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague in the hope of dinning in to him the seriousness of the climate change issue. That would double the size of his personal library and add to the two books he uses for coloring!
