Before being elected President, George W. Bush made several promises to alleviate emissions in attempt to solve the global warming problem. A general consensus can conclude that all of his ideas were only disappointments.
At the last international meeting of climate change in Bali in December, the frustration of the rest of the world bubbled over. A representative from Papua New Guinea shouted at the U.S. delegation: “If you are not willing to lead, then get out of the way!”
President Bush currently only has goals and principles set to solve this problem. Instead the President should mandate certain regulations, and make sure that all legislation is followed up, unlike some of the previous ideas he proposed, such as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from factories and power plants. Being the leader of the strongest nation in the world, Bush needs to start making some actual action before the rest of the world finds other ways to solve these problems, potentially leaving the United States out of the loop.
