Profit motive prevents Bush from caring for the Nature

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

For Bush, oil means profits & politics. His politics is to build finance capital & his profits are to buy political capital. And he just hates all impediments like environmental concerns, which come in between his profit-maximising march. Emboldened after defeating one of the top American environmentalists Al Gore at the hustings, Bush has been ruthless in pursuing his not-so-green policies with impunity, & sadly with aplomb. On the important issue of environment, the radicalism portrayed by the Bush led Republicans has been mind boggling. Be it the refusal to accede to the Kyoto Protocol or the refusal to obey any international treaty that would reduce American economic growth projections, Bush’s misadventures know no limits. Former Vice President Al Gore told B&E, “The unwillingness to solve the climate problem is not only the result of a lack of political will, but it has also been caused by the emergence of a new political environment, dangerously hostile to reason, knowledge and facts. In the long-term, this poses a threat to the very basis of American democracy.”
