Bush Says Climate Deal Possible During His Term
SLOVENIA: June 11, 2008
BRDO, Slovenia - US President George W. Bush said on Tuesday a global
agreement on fighting climate change could still be reached during his
presidency, which ends early in 2009.
"I think we can get a global agreement on climate change during my
presidency -- just so you know," Bush told a news conference after a summit
with the 27-nation European Union's top officials in Slovenia.
The EU has often criticised the United States for having failed to ratify
the Kyoto protocol on limiting greenhouse gas emissions blamed for climate
warming or taking action to lower emissions of carbon dioxide.
