US President George Bush said on Thursday he would urge major industrialised nations at a summit next week to join a new global framework for fighting climate change after the Kyoto Protocol lapses.
"The United States will work with other nations to establish a new framework on greenhouse gas emissions for when the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012," he said in a speech laying out his agenda for the June 6-8 G8 summit in Germany.

Excellent point. My view is as follows.
We can all sit around and debate global warming and greenhouse effects all day. I can provide a thousand links that say it's real and caused by humans, someone else can provide a thousand links that says it's not. The simple fact is I don't want pollutants around, weather they are causing warming or not. I don't want to breathe them and I don't want to drink them..
Additionally, reliance on a finite energy source such as carbon based fuel is archaic, self destructive, and bound to lead the world down a path to economic disaster. Renewable energy is our future as oil and coal will run out someday. Better to invest in research now, rather than wait until we are out.
