- President George W. Bush gives a speech on the increasing threat of global climate change. President Bush explains why he did not sign the United States to join the Kyoto Protocol, calling it an unrealistic plan, unfair to many countries, and an act that would have negatively impacted the American economy. But Bush does believe that nations must work together to stiffle this continuing problem. Bush states, "We recognize our responsibility and will meet it -- at home, in our hemisphere, and in the world. My Cabinet-level working group on climate change is recommending a number of initial steps, and will continue to work on additional ideas. The working group proposes the United States help lead the way by advancing the science on climate change, advancing the technology to monitor and reduce greenhouse gases, and creating partnerships within our hemisphere and beyond to monitor and measure and mitigate emissions." President Bush announces the establishment of the U.S. Climate Change Research Initiative that will study areas of uncertainty and identify priority areas where investments can make a difference. He says by using conservation, energy efficiency, and the upcoming clean technologies, America can significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
