Bush admin. walked out of Kyoto talks



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

What a bunch of drama queens. They literally up and walked out of the talks at the Climate Change conference because they can't get their way. Their way, of course, is to do nothing about global warming:

In a sign of its growing isolation on climate issues, the Bush administration came under sharp criticism for walking out of informal discussions on finding new ways to reduce emissions under the United Nations' 1992 treaty on climate change.

The walkout, by Harlan L. Watson, the chief American negotiator here, came Friday, shortly after midnight, on the last day of the talks, during which the administration was repeatedly assailed by the leaders of other wealthy industrialized nations for refusing to negotiate to advance the goals of that treaty, and in which former President Bill Clinton chided both sides for lack of flexibility.
Making us proud in the eyes of the world yet again.
