Bush plays for time as the planet begins to burn
By Philip Stephens
Watching George W.Bush’s administration duck, dodge and dive to avoid
doing anything serious about climate change has reminded me of the
adage of a 19th century British prime minister.
Change, why change?
Lord Salisbury would protest when it was suggested he alter course.
Things are bad enough as they are.
Well, things are bad.
Recent months have seen a slew of reports from the experts at the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
They put the science of global warming beyond any reasonable doubt.
Before long even US vice-president ***** Cheney and his oil industry
friends will have to admit that the earth is round.
