One against 150
Oh dear, the Cheney Bush government continues to inhabit a different universe to the rest of the world. While over 150 countries seem about to agree to move forward on the Kyoto protocol to limit global pollution, the USA is still conviced that global warming is an evil communist theory that does not apply in their universe. (And Blair doesn’t come out of the affair much better, since he has claimed all along that he could convince the American government of the error of their ways.)
Update (2005-12-11):
Even the USA can be nudged to sign up for taking further steps, albeit small ones, towards making the Kyoto protocol happen, (after ending up in a “coalition” of one).
