Environmental issues are of long term importance to everyone. One of the reasons we are having issues with flooding is deforestation and the loss of watershed through aggressive, poorly planned development. If too much green goes, all we'll have left to breathe is CO2.
We promise not to cut too many of our trees and they promise not to cut too many of theirs and hopefully we all get to survive. The real issue is in poor countries with no real internal enforcement.
GWB is a shortsighted fool in a lot of ways, but it seems most striking in his environmental policies.
