Bush set for climate change U-turn!
George Bush is preparing to make a historic shift in his position on global warming when he makes his State of the Union speech later this month, say senior Downing Street officials.
Tony Blair hopes that the new stance by the United States will lead to a breakthrough in international talks on climate change and that the outlines of a successor treaty to the Kyoto agreement, the deal to curb emissions of greenhouse gases which expires in 2012, could now be thrashed out at the G8 summit in June.
The timetable may explain why Blair is so keen to remain in office until after the summit, with a deal on protecting the planet offering an appealing legacy with which to bow out of Number 10.

U.S. denies British rumors on Bush climate change
A U.S. official on Sunday denied a British newspaper report that President George W. Bush was preparing to announce a dramatic policy shift on global warming in his State of the Union speech this month.

Bush will say he always said climate change was a problem, and that human activities contribute.
He will blame bureaucrats and Congress for holding things up.
Kids like him never admit their mistakes. They just blame someone else.

Seems to me he just admitted last night on 60 minutes that he is responsible for the ongoing misadventures in Iraq.

IMO, he'll ask for a global tax. A world tax for fighting global warming, a first tax for the world government. And we all know that the real solutions are in their hands but they don't care, they want more money.
