The current US government cares deeply about the environment. It simply does not agree with certain international political "solutions". The US abandonment of the Kyoto treaty is not actually far from the EU position. In the EU politicians give verbal support for the Kyoto treaty but somehow fail to provide the funding necessary for its implementation. In the US we simply state that the Kyoto treaty is fundamentally flawed and will not be ratified. Any agreement to save our environment must be based upon scientific evidence and scientifically sound environmental management programs. Unfortuntely, treaties such as the one developed at the Kyoto conference are more about political attempts to control first world economies than about sound scientific efforts. President Bush has made it clear that he is willing to work for the improvement of the environment, so long as agreements are based upon a sound scientific foundation.
