There is fear in proverb

 He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. There is fear in Europe that the administration will pay no attention to the aims defined in Kyoto, ... It is important that the United States accept its responsibility for the world climate. They are the biggest economy in the world and the heaviest energy consumers. This is one of those issues where one can say from a basis of real friendship: 'Dear friends, we are of the opinion that if you abandon Kyoto, you are in the wrong.'

 Hurricane Katrina, the Mother Earthers say, is the result of the failed environmental policies of the Bush administration. This disaster is because the United States has not agreed to abide by the Kyoto Treaty protocols. According to those who worship the spinning dirt at the altar of Kyoto, their god, the environment, has exacted justice through Hurricane Katrina.

 If you only focus on debates about binding emissions caps, more specifically the Kyoto Protocol, then yes, we have a different view than the participants that have signed onto Kyoto. However, when you consider the real actions that will be needed to address the issue, there is no doubt that we are leading the world in a global and long-term effort.

 [Blair turned up the pressure at the recent G8 Summit held in Gleneagles, Scotland. Overshadowed by the terrorist attacks on the London transit system that occurred during the summit was Blair's continued call for the United States to do something about global warming. This time, he emphasized that he wasn't looking for the United States to join Kyoto per se, but to do something technological that would have an impact.] What I am trying to do at the G8, ... is say: 'America is not going to sign the Kyoto Treaty, let's leave that to one side.'
  Tony Blair

 Blair leads a country that is a key signatory of Kyoto, yet he has left no doubt that the Kyoto Protocol simply will not deliver the reductions in greenhouse gases that are needed to curb the threat of climate change,

 The fossil-fuel based, auto-centered economy of the United States threatens not only the world energy supply, but also the climate,

 The fossil-fuel based, auto-centered economy of the
United States threatens not only the world energy supply, but also the climate,

 As the world's largest consuming nation, the United States bears a unique responsibility in addressing global energy issues.

 He has set aside the charade of Kyoto and he is saying we can do it in a better way, a more responsible way, ... We will come up with an alternative. We want to work with our allies on this and our friends around the world, and we will.

 I fear this is another attempt to undermine Kyoto and a message to the developing world to buy US technology and not to worry about targets and timetables,

 I think the United States should leave Iraq and deal with environmental problems. If the U.S. Army stays in Iraq, Japan will also follow it because the U.S. is an important partner of trade to Japan. American people also need to know they have to save energy. The U.S. was the only country that did not sign the Kyoto Protocol, which was selfish.

 The lagging performance of the United States on environmental issues -- particularly on energy and climate change -- signals trouble not only for the American people, but for the whole world. Perhaps this ranking will serve as a wake-up call to the American public and particularly to leaders in Washington.

 We were never going to be able at this G8 to resolve the disagreement over Kyoto, nor to renegotiate a set of targets for countries in place of the Kyoto Protocol,
  Tony Blair

 Most of the European countries take Kyoto seriously. Europeans take their environmental stewardship more seriously than those in the United States.

 If I was to criticize the administration for anything, ... it is the general [opinion people] have in so many places around the world that the United States is so powerful now -- and the only superpower now -- that we can do almost anything we want.
