Bush, Blair. Fraternal Twins?

I swear these two guys act more like each other every day.

Tony Blair personally frustrated measures to cut Britain's emissions of the pollution that causes global warming, despite repeatedly calling for action, it has been revealed.

The Prime Minister did not back proposals from his Environment Secretary, Margaret Beckett, that aimed to get the Government's strategy to fight climate change back on track.

...

Mr Blair told a climate change conference in New Zealand last week that failure to take action on global warming would be "absolutely disastrous".

He added: "I don't want it on the conscience of me, or my generation, that we were told what this problem was and did nothing about it."

Sound like anyone you know?

During the month of August, President Bush held environmental photo ops in scenic locations across the country while his staff spent the month in Washington working to weaken environmental protections. This "say one thing, do another" approach may have worked earlier in his term to divert attention away from policies designed to benefit corporate interests, but even the best public relations can't compensate for an environmental record that's this bad.
