PRESIDENT BUSH CAN'T SING HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ONEThe jig is up! The US Government has abandoned the fight to save the Earth from global warming. It says it is a national security issue!

"Introduction
"Fossil fuels will remain the mainstay of world energy production well into the 21st century. Coal, for example, is abundant, comparatively inexpensive, and geographically diverse. The International Energy Agency estimates that overall world coal use will increase by about 50 percent between now and 2030, and by nearly 67 percent for power generation, mostly in developing countries.
"The United States has an estimated 250-year supply of coal. In terms of energy value (Btus), coal constitutes approximately 95 percent of U.S. fossil energy reserves. Because of its abundance and low cost, coal now accounts for more than half of the electricity generated in the United States.
"Availability of fossil fuels to provide clean, affordable energy is essential for the prosperity and security of the United States."
THE TWO GEORGES SUGGEST WAYS TO MAKE THE MOST OF HURRICACNE DAMAGED CITIESFurther on in the document it is revealed that the USA - the world's largest user of fossil fuels and the main source of global warming gases in the atmosphere - has set itself a puny target for reduction:
"The Global Climate Change Initiative set forth by President George W. Bush calls for an 18 percent reduction in the carbon intensity of the United States economy by 2012."
In the bad old days when the threat of a nuclear holocaust hung over our heads, we were given the following advice on what to do if the bombs started falling: Bend over, place your head firmly between your legs, then kiss your arse goodbye. I guess this advice is useful again, for when you see the next tsunami coming.
