Bush Remarks On G8 Climate Talks: "Yeah, I'll Be Constructive" - AFP

TOKYO, Japan (AFP) — US President George W. Bush pledged Sunday to play a "constructive" role on climate change at a summit of rich nations, but hopes for a breakthrough were dim as he pressed developing countries.

Japan, the host of the three-day Group of Eight summit, pushed for progress in the fight against global warming but environmentalists said that any agreement was unlikely to be far-reaching.

"Yeah, I'll be constructive," Bush told a joint news conference after meeting Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on the eve of the G8 summit in the northern mountain resort of Toyako.

"I also am realistic enough to tell you that if China and India don't share the same aspiration that we're not going to solve the problem," Bush said.

In today's paper, there's the story about his meeting with Russian new President and Bush's tiny brain could only muster up "he's a smart guy" - I said to my hubby, how would he know?
