Bush actually said something honest as he left the G8 summit.

 “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”

This after he refused to accept global climate change targets that other members of the G8 were trying to push.

Of course the White House claims this was a joke, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Fuck you world, kiss my ass (none / 0)
The New Green movement started to invest in land in order to stop development. It is an interesting strategy, obviously it has its limits and gov't protection is much easier and cheaper. But ya gotta figure with the state of the real estate market, one it is a bad investment and two there is probably going to be a lot less development to begin with in the next few years. I think maybe these investment groups should sell their stakes in real estate and buy oil. But not just buy it, buy it strategically, speculate to push up the price. Get it up to 200 a barrel. Seems like the only thing that finally got through to GM and Ford. California couldn't get through to Detroit, the Senate couldn't get CAFE through Helms/Levin, but now they are finally cutting production of trucks and SUVs. Probably too late, GM is shitting a brick looking for cash and contemplating selling off their stock and trade brands. (They are finally getting rid of Hummer, which seems alone to stand a symbol of American excess and overkill, and contemplating getting rid of Buick or Olds though they officially deny it.) Ford shares are below $5 despite a cash infusion from billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian. GM, the biggest company in the world, is in danger of going bankrupt and shedding jobs and bleeding losses. GM stocks just hit a 54 year low.

Nature abhors a vacuum, if Ford and GM go bankrupt in a bear market the next two years, might suck for a lot of Americans but it also might leave a huge void filled by hybrids, smart cars and allow companies making small two doors and sedans getting 40 to 50 mpg to make even more headway.

Total pollution emitted by U.S. manufacturers declined over the past 30 years by about 60 percent, even though real manufacturing output increased 70 percent.

The United States is the world's largest consumer of oil, using 20,687,000 barrels a day, more than 25 percent of the worlds supply and twice as much as any one single country.

Ya, FUCK YOU world, kiss my ass, two times, peace out, y'all, I'm about to recoup all my stock I divested from 8 years ago, and just got away with signing onto a 40 year plan with no benchmark goals and no enforcement. Yeehaw, I'm heading back to Crawford.
