In view of the acknowledged fact that the US is the world’s biggest producer of greenhouse emissions; and bearing in mind that one of his major arguments against it is the financial cost to the country, what is your opinion of the stance of President Bush and his administration on the Kyoto Protocol?
And anyway, since it is a matter of ‘pay now or watch your grandchildren die later’, does Bush have a leg to stand on?

Let me offer an illustrative example: Your grandchild needs an expensive life-saving treatment that is way beyond the family’s means. What do you do? Let the child die ‘cos you can’t afford the treatment? Or organise the family to do their damndest to scrape the money together, regardless of the personal sacrifices you all have to make?

KEEP IT POLITE, PLEASE!
