Let's DO something already!

Recently, I read in a New York Times news piece that George W Bush announced a plan for countries to figure out their own way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. People have been arguing that Bush will not step up to the plate and take this global warming problem seriously. The officials at the Washington forum said legally-set international targets were the only way to tackle climate change.
President Bush wants each country to figure out on their own how to tackle global warming. The ministers, diplomats, and officials attending the United States-sponsored forum on energy security and climate change.
Their solution is for the US to not make this issue a voluntary one, because our lives are at risk. Bush has consistently opposed mandatory cuts on emissions in other countries. Instead, the President has promoted voluntary approaches. Bush wants to set up long term plans that just show that we’re interested, not that we intend to do anything immediately.
This is ridiculous. Global warming is not an option anymore and if we are going to be involved in other countries political situations then we should be if it concerns our air as well.
