Bush to World: Drop Dead

U.S. Won't Join in Binding Climate Talks: "Despite the Bush administration's adamant resistance, nearly every industrialized nation agreed early Saturday to engage in talks aimed at producing a new set of binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions that would take effect beginning in 2012.

In a separate accord, a broader coalition of nearly 200 nations -- including the United States -- agreed to a much more modest 'open and nonbinding' dialogue that would not lead to any 'new commitments' to reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with climate change."
