Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder condemned President Bush's global warming strategy as a "charade" intended to derail international talks, noting that the United States produces 25 percent of global greenhouse gases.

• Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder characterized President Bush's global warming strategy as a "complete charade" designed to create an appearance of seriousness regarding global warming without implementing actual measures to reduce emissions.
• Brent Blackwelder asserted that the White House proposal was an effort to derail existing global warming discussions, suggesting that a serious approach would involve joining U.N. talks or discussing the issue at the G8 based on ideas from the German Chancellor.
• The document states that the United States is responsible for 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and therefore possesses a moral responsibility to lead efforts against global warming.
