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.
Actually, it that were true anymore, it'd be pretty typical, but, as it turns out, the President once against got the facts wrong. China is number 1. We're number 2. But the right-wing blogs/media are jumping for joy and the left-wing blogs/media are aghast and mortally offended.
Personally, I'm tired of no one being able to give me a straight answer on global warming. It's basically like a gigantic weather report anyway and weather reports are wrong like what? 40% of the time? To me, the important issue is this: climate change or no climate change, a cleaner, greener world is better for our national security and everyone. I don't appreciate fanaticism of any stripe from the foam at the mouth pro-climate changers on the left to the 'they want to turn this country into a socialist gulag' skeptics on the right. As with most things in life, I've found that the truth is to be found somewhere in between, I'd imagine.
And apparently our President is still an overgrown frat-boy at heart. I don't know whether to roll my eyes or feel a rush of patriotism at Bush's ballsy move. Give 'em the finger! We're AMERICA!
Um, I think I'll just roll my eyes.
