Bush "Light Years Behind" On Climate - Scotsman
President Bush is "light years" behind the rest of the world on tackling climate change, a leading environmentalist has claimed.

Sir Jonathan Porritt, chairman of the Sustainable Development Commission, condemned the president for refusing to sign up to the Kyoto protocol.

"I'm sorry to say that the Bush White House is now light years behind the rest of the world, and actually behind most of the rest of America now," he said.

Sir Jonathan said there had been a distinct change in large sections of the US business community and political system, with people now acknowledging more needed to be done to tackle climate change. But the president had not caught up.
