Quite an interesting state of the nation address from President Bush don't you think?
Are we really to believe that someone who denied the impact of global warming until the change in balance of congressional power has really made such a significant change of mind?
Don't misunderstand me I'll happily accept anyone reducing carbon emissions in an effort to prevent us all frying ourselves to a crisp - but this seems all too convenient.

Is it me or were his last sentences equally revealing. The President said (paraphrased) - a reduction of this scale would see a reduced reliance on the middle east for oil - now could that be the real reason?

Given that the expedition into Iraq has been such a horror for all involved, could this rush to a greener future be more about finding an alternative strategy for securing future oil and gas supplies?
