Goodbye from the worlds biggest polluter

US President George Bush signed off with a defiant farewell over his refusal to accept global climate change targets at his last G8 summit. As he prepared to fly out from his final G8 summit in Japan, he told his fellow leaders: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter.' President Bush made the private joke in the summit's closing session, senior sources said yesterday. His remarks were taken as a two-fingered salute from the President from Texas who is wedded to the oil industry.
