   George Bush seems to have forgot that where he is speaking, UN is not the platform where you are supposed to speak only about terror. Same age old fundamentals of politicians, fuel the sense of fear among the masses , so they can rule the world.Terror Terror and Terror no PEACE.There seems that nothing exist except this terror.The Earth is facing the challange of mass extintion , but Mr Bush cannot observe this floods, droughts , hunger...............the only thing he can see is terror.


U.S. President George W. Bush upset some delegates by failing to mention “climate change” or “global warming” in his final speech to the United Nations — in which he referred to terrorism 32 times.

Exactly a year ago, the United Nations held a special summit about climate change – U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calls fighting global warming his “signature issue” and many governments see it as the biggest long-term challenge.

Bush clearly has a lot to worry about such as the global financial crisis, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. Yet while he spoke a lot about terrorism in his speech on Tuesday, he did also refer to other problems such as human rights in Burma, violence in Darfur, the Doha trade round and the fight against malaria.

Climate change didn’t get a mention, even though Bush has called it a “serious problem” and signed up at the Group of Eight nations in Japan in July to a vision of halving world greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. China and the United States are the main emitters of greenhouse gases, mainly from burning fossil fuels.
