Bush could have re-negotiated Kyoto to close those loop-holes but instead he irresponsibly caved in to pollution and big oil lobbyists and refused to touch any treaty, instead BS'ing the US public with his "Clear Skies Initiative" which was written up by pro-pollution lobbyists in which regulations are mostly voluntary and pushed down the road. This also broke a campaign promise of his in 2000. Msot of his promises from that campaign ended up beign broken as he posed as a moderate then governed as a corporate radical rightwing neocon. Bush also told a huge fat lie that regulating our pollution in this country would devastate our economy and cost jobs. Actually, just the opposite could be true. I expect one of the biggest growth sectors of the next 30 years will and clean energy technology. So Bush blew it by being backward, a fossil fuels dinosaur and being in the pockets of big pollution. Instead the Japanese and Europeans are getting ahead of us on clean fuels tech, and we're being left behind.
