The talk of Bush having a new plan for climate change is about as new as his plan for the war in Iraq or his plan for energy independence. It's more spin and no action with the GOP favorite "goals" but nothing more. The EU and Congress need to look at the facts involved here and isolate Bush and his silly idea of goals. Goals have been tried and they failed, so let's move back to the real world and get serious:
Accused of dragging his feet on global warming, President Bush on Thursday proposed that by 2008 the countries that emit the most greenhouse gases come up with long-term goals to curb emissions.
Critics dismissed the strategy as a diversion and a delaying tactic, but some European leaders and a U.N official expressed hope that it might be a first step to more action.
