Bush has constantly refused to sign up to the Kyoto accord, which basically deals with greenhouse gas emmisions. The USA has been buying up other countires quotas so it can pump more pollution into the atmosphere without being seen to break a previous agreement.
This is probally due to having Oil men in charge of a country. If all of a sudden you over there started all to drive automobiles that did 50 - 60 miles per gallon, oil company revenues would drop dramatically.
I'm glad to hear that the media over there is finally getting involved and voicing disquite about this subject.
Lets hope they get listened to.
Namaste
