Environmental Note

This is a speech by Severn Suzuki, 12 years old, at the 1992 environmental summit in Rio de Janeiro. Pay attention:



I think she sort of says it.

And then we get this sort of crap from the preznit:

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.

Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.

I think describing him as a self-absorbed frat boy is being much too generous.
