Proving that the Earth Summit is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors, hate-America, anti-capitalism festival, hecklers booed and shouted at Secretary Powell during his speech. 'Environmentalists' couldn't resist the chance the blast the US for our environmental record, and for refusing to sign the Kyoto treaty. It is their belief that if you don't give them wads of cash to support their proposals of how to best care for the environment, then you are pro-pollution.
Bush, who has been accused by Greens of putting arsenic in our drinking water, causing the flooding in Germany, and raising Antarctic temperatures 4-degrees, maintains the position that the Kyoto treaty is too expensive, and ineffective. In addition, man's attempt to control 'global warming' will cost this country plenty, and Greens want the US to foot the bill. Anyone who disagrees with their methods is considered 'soft' on the environment.
Proving that we are damned either way, Greens are already saying the US has 'hijacked' the Earth Summit. Before, they were upset because President Bush sent Powell instead of attending himself.
