Why does Bush hate the Kyoto Accord? OK, Bush is an idiot. He's in the pocket of businesses concerned more with the short term bottom line than with the long term viability of their companies and the planet they make their living out of. The gyst of it is Bush feels the Kyoto Accord is a waste of time and effort, and would rather have businesses voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hello? Does this man even pretend to live in the real world? Yes he does actually. But he really does believe that the Kyoto Accord is bad. He really does think that the environment isn't in such bad shape. How does one combat a belief such as that? And he does think he's right, and that eventually those that are trumpeting the warning will see his light. His latest efforts, after failing to bully Canada into abandoning the agreement is to make the call to Russia. Last year Putin was actually indicating he will sign on - this is noble coming from Russia, who has so much to loose economically for signing on. But the pressure is now on for Russia to drop the accord as the US wants.
