They're not going to like this...
Howard speaks out on climate change.He also has the now obligatory dig at George Bush.In a speech to an environment forum, Mr Howard described climate change as "one of mankind's greatest challenges".
He said it was very disappointing that Tony Blair had not succeeded in persuading US President George Bush that the issue should not be shirked. Mr Howard called for a new drive to persuade America to sign up to the Kyoto accord and suggested he was better able to fulfil that ambition.
The loonies aren't going to like this. I do wonder however about this claim from the great man.
After the 1992 election, I spent a day in Washington and succeeded in persuading the United States Government, under George Bush senior, to sign the Climate Change Convention, the forerunner of the Kyoto Agreement.
Say it is true. Would you remind voters? Going from persuading George Bush Snr to sign an international treaty, to being banned from the White House or meeting George Bush Jnr, is nothing of which to be proud.
