July 7, 2001 | WASHINGTON --

President Bush, after faulting the Kyoto climate treaty for excluding developing nations from its requirements, wants to cut U.S. aid for helping Third World countries combat global warming.

While asking Congress for nearly $4 billion to address climate change, roughly the same as last year, Bush proposes reducing assistance to other countries by $41 million from last year's $165 million. He calls for shifting more responsibility to private industry.

<<You forget that under Clinton gas was also down to a buck a gallon! >>

It was down to 87 cents a gallon in February of '99. But July of '00 it was up to $1.80. More than doubled. Under Clinton.
