Bush tries to sabotage fight against global warming

Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder describes President Bush's global warming strategy as a "complete charade" designed to avoid curbing emissions. The organization argues that the United States, which produces 25 percent of global greenhouse gases, is failing its moral responsibility to lead the fight against global warming by attempting to derail U.N. talks and G8 discussions.

• Friends of the Earth characterizes the Bush administration's global warming strategy as a superficial effort to appear serious about the issue without implementing actual measures to reduce emissions.
• The document asserts that the U.S. proposal is intended to obstruct existing international climate negotiations, specifically U.N. talks and G8 discussions involving the German Chancellor.
• The United States is identified as producing 25 percent of the world's greenhouse gases, creating a moral responsibility for the country to lead global warming mitigation efforts.
