Clinton and McCain in Norway
Aftenposten (Norway) ^ | 8/23/04 | Unknown

US delegation visits Svalbard US Senator Hillary Clinton arrived on Norway's Arctic archipelago of Svalbard Sunday night, part of a US Congressional delegation studying climate and environmental issues. She seized the opportunity to bash current policies under US President George W Bush.

Clinton, with Republican US Senator John McCain standing by, claimed that the battle against global warming had lost ground under the Bush Administration. But "we're working now" to secure broad political agreement on climate issues, she said.

McCain is leading the delegation, which will study effects of global warming on Svalbard and meet with top Norwegian government officials. He said the US "sooner or later" will be forced to take some decisive action on the environmental concerns.

The Bush Administration has rejected measures to limit carbon dioxide emissions like those included in the so-called Kyoto Agreement, which could slow global warming. Norwegian Foreign Minister Jan Petersen was clear in his opinion that "the US should have ratified" the Kyoto pact.

Petersen said he was pleasantly surprised that such an influential delegation from the US was interested in traveling to Svalvard to study the effects of global warming. McCain, who hails from the same party as Bush, nonetheless wants to push forward a more aggressive fight against global warming, including measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

I am confused, our Senators are over there looking at the terrible effect of Global "Warming" but they both have jackets on in the middle of August......Should they both have hip waders on also for the flooding that is occuring due to the melting of the polar ice caps? Just wondering...

No too much "global warming" yet by the looks of the winter clothes everyone is wearing. Shillary and McPain in Norway. Oh please, have them both stay there and not return to plague us in the US.

Someone needs to explain to me why all of Hillary's HOT AIR isn't contributing to global warming.

Please use small words. I don't have a university diploma.

"McCain --- said the US "sooner or later" will be forced to take some decisive action on the environmental concerns."

'But "we're working now" to secure broad political agreement on climate issues, she said.'

He said; she said. Are we "working now" or will it be "sooner or later?" I mean, these two are not even worth minimum wage!

I heard that Clinton is going to be the truth squad during the Republican convention. That is the funniest thing I heard this morning. A perpetual liar on a truth squad!

Hint: It's easy to see what's up with you and SeaDogs and it's even easier to delete snotty FReep mail messages.

What exactly is your problem with the theme of this thread and why can't you start your own topic?

It depends on what the meaning of "truth squad" is.

Something about the coat, maybe the embellishments on the sleeves and lapels, makes me think she bought it in Norway.

A couple of years ago, a friend of ours was there for a year for work. She reported that not only are the styles all horrendous, the choices are negligible. When she mentioned that she would appreciate seeing some different shoe styles, her Norwegian colleagues informed her that they didn't see any need for more styles and they didn't like to be *different*.

Also, they appear to be on the water and I bet it is chilly.
