Pelosi attends European climate talks
By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer 7 minutes ago
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) is on an overseas trip to embrace an audience and a topic for which President Bush has shown scant affection: "Old Europe" and global warming.
Pelosi, D-Calif., and seven other House members left Saturday for meetings with scientists and politicians in Greenland, Germany and Belgium on ways to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The trip comes shortly before a climate change summit next month involving the leading industrialized nations and during a time of increased debate over what should succeed the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 international treaty that caps the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted from power plants and factories in industrialized countries. It expires in 2012.
Bush rejected that accord, saying it would harm the U.S. economy and unfair excludes developing countries like China and India from its obligations. Pelosi, who strongly disagrees with that decision and many other of Bush's environmental policies, told The Associated Press on Friday that she said she wants to work with the administration rather than provoke it.
But Pelosi stopped short of condemning the president's call for slowing the nation's growth rate in carbon emissions, an approach that many say is too meek.
"I think there are better ideas," Pelosi said. "I want to keep the door completely open to working with the president on the issue of energy independence and global warming. ... There are plenty of areas where we can find common ground."
Since Democrats took over Congress in January, both the House and Senate have proposed to push the nation more aggressively to reduce carbon emissions.

CO2 will be reduced by good ol'fashioned American technology and not by socialist overlording.
Don't question the patriotism of Democrats, even when they flee the country during memorial holidays.

Post #12 well said.
Incredible how this hoax holds more importance for the left than terror, but then again, logic really isn`t a top priority for the insane, and this woman is insane. Absolutely, 100% completely out of her freaking mind. Absolutely scary how someone so mentally ill can only be two heartbeats away from holding the most powerful office in the world.
Anyone know is this Pelosi ever had a history of mental illness or other psych problems? I`m serious, I`m doing a search now because I just can`t believe otherwise. This woman cannot be sane, there is just no way.
Hey Witch get off the broom and take time to thank our troops you say you support.
Envirocultism is just the newest tax scam coming our way.
