 Denial & Delay Since 2000 President Bush and Climate Change in USA Video (3min 29sec). George Bush, US president has been talking the talk on Global Warming, but his record on the issue is one of denial and delay beginning with the Kyoto Protocols on global climate change in 2001. Rob Reynolds, Washington Correspondent, looks at Bush and the fossil fuel industry.
"Instead of the mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases in the Kyoto treaty, Bush suggested weaker voluntary pledges from industry to cut emissions. And then launched an energy policy that heavily emphasized drilling and digging."
"This administration is good friends with the fossil fuel industry. Bush himself comes out of the fossil fuel industry. And there's been a concerted attempt by the fossil fuel industry to sow doubt about the scientific consensus on global warming"
