Green Livin President Bush is a funny guy. As the G8 summit in Hokkaido, Japan , Bush apparently ended a private meeting with other leaders with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."
We'll let the London Telegraph, the only outlet to report this story, explain the reaction from the obviously humorless onlookers:
"Bush then punched the air while grinning , as the rest of those present looked on in shock ... One official who witnessed the scene said afterwards: 'Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution.'"
Okay, maybe tensions were high because climate change negotiations didn't go as well as some people hoped. Some of that is because the U.S. blocked all proposals on interim emissions targets and benchmarks. But come on people, the man was just trying to lighten the mood!
