Well, this thread was about Bush changing science for religious purposes. Now that you agree that's not the case in this instance and we only have a few angry claims with no real evidence for other cases then we can move on.

I don't have time to look this up but I think I remember most European countries are dumping Kyote, because it failed, and jumping on Bush's plan that brings China and India into the fold. I don't know what makes you think the US, under Bush's direction, is ignoring the environment. Companies are lowering pollution and emissions for cleaner air and environmental reasons, not because the world is boiling.
