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.
US Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain are visiting Svalbard to see the ill effects of global warming first-hand.

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.

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.

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

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.
