From Grumpus:
Williams Mocks Bush Over Global Warming
The Fisher King star Robin Williams has hit out at President George W. Bush for refusing to accept global warming is a reality. The One Hour Photo actor - currently voicing a penguin in animated movie Happy Feet - is angry Bush has failed to sign the Kyoto Treaty to cut harmful emissions, and he accuses the American leader of being in denial. Speaking at the Happy Feet UK premiere in Leicester Square, London on Sunday night, Williams says, “There is global warming. I know our president doesn’t agree. (Bush thinks) ‘Global Warming. Oh just go inside for a bit.’”
Let’s see what Robin could have learned had he gone to Wikipedia.org:
“On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was finalized (although it had been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished), the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98), which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or ‘would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States’. On November 12 , 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Both Gore and Senator Joseph Lieberman indicated that the protocol would not be acted upon in the Senate until there was participation by the developing nations. The Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for ratification.”
Off to catch my flight. Robin, you are a frickin’ moron. Funny, but tragically stupid.
