Greenpeace dismisses George Bush's speech in the Rose Garden on climate change, saying that his interpretation of climate science is fantasy at best, and deliberately misleading at worst.

Repeating the mantra of the US fossil fuel industry, Bush called for more scientific research while at the same time rejecting any real action to protect the climate.

This meeting will be remembered as the moment when governments abandoned the promise of global co-operation to protect planet Earth.

Nearly ten years after the Rio Earth Summit, and three years after Kyoto, The Hague represents a U-turn. Rather than reducing emissions to curb global warming, greenhouse gas pollution limits will in fact be increased.

Powerful industrial lobby groups are attempting to undermine ratification and implementation of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which committed industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Several of these industry groups will be represented during top level talks under the Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn from Oct 26 to Nov 4. At this meeting more details of the Kyoto Protocol will be negotiated. (The Kyoto Protocol was agreed by more than 160 nations in Japan in 1997, it established legally binding greenhouse gas reduction targets for each industrialized nation, with an overall reduction of -5.2% by 2008-2012).
