U.S. gums up works at Montreal climate talks

 

Representatives of the world's governments are currently gathered in Montreal

for a historic summit on the most pressing problem facing civilization: global

warming. And the U.S.? " The United States is opposed to any such discussions, "

says Harlan Watson, who bears the somewhat misleading title of " chief U.S.

climate negotiator. " Watson is quite open about the fact that he's in Montreal

to prevent negotiation. Instead, he argues that " there's more than one way to

approach climate change, " though the only alternative he's mentioned is ...

can't you just guess? ... more research and technology. Other summit

participants are putting on a brave face, hoping to, as the head of the British

delegation puts it, " start a dialogue, " but behind the scenes it's widely

acknowledged that no real progress is possible without the participation of the

U.S., and the U.S. isn't going to participate under the Bush administration.

Until 2009, meaningful global efforts to fight climate change would seem to be

at a stalemate.

Don't need no politician

Tell me things I ought to be

Neither no optician

Tell me what I ought to see

No one tells you nothing

Even when you know they know

They tell you what you should be

They don't like to see you grow
