Statement Responding to President Bushs Major Emitters Summit
Summary
Friends of the Earth-U.S. condemns President George W. Bush's 'major emitters' summit as a 'go-it-alone strategy' that prioritizes voluntary measures over the United Nations framework, claiming this approach isolates the U.S. and risks a 'global warming catastrophe'.
Key insights
- Friends of the Earth-U.S. asserts that President Bush's strategy for addressing global warming is ineffective because it relies on a voluntary approach and separate meetings that sidetrack the United Nations process, thereby isolating the U.S. internationally.
