Squander this

From this Chris Horner post:

To repeat: Bush articulated his Kyoto policy on March 17, 2001 — six months before 9/11 — and very poorly timed to deserve blame for “squandering post-9/11 goodwill.”

And as a substantive matter, Bush’s policy was no different from the Clinton-Gore policy. Bush articulated that he had no interest in seeking Senate ratification of Kyoto (not exactly identical with “refused to sign,” as so many media reports cast it). After Gore originally agreed to the pact for the U.S. on December 11, 1997, Clinton did precisely the same thing. So for over three years, the Clinton-Gore administration’s policy on Kyoto was identical to the Bush administration’s policy. Shame on you, George.

Starting at about the 40 second mark here, watch for about 20 seconds as Gore himself sounds very much like Bush on Kyoto.
