STATEMENT BY JOHN PASSACANTANDO, GREENPEACE USA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

July 6, 2010

“President Bush’s
speech today demonstrates once again his do-nothing approach to global
warming.  He offered no new policies that
would commit

the U.S. to binding
emissions reductions.  His statement
reflects how he has

worked his entire presidency to undermine the international effort
to stop global warming.


“His
position is the same as that of the oil industry, and he has set up this
fraudulent process to claim progress when it is designed to prevent it. The
American people understand that his position is a lie and people across the world
need to know that the American people no longer believe their president on
global warming.”
