Prime Minister John Howard, a friend and ally of Bush, said he would not meet Gore during his Australian visit and would not heed his advice to sign up to Kyoto.
“I don’t take policy advice from films,” Howard told reporters.
Now I don’t really know much about Prime Minister Howard, but what a stupid thing to say. The former Vice President of the US, who has a long history of public service, makes an informational film about his most passionate personal cause – a film based on hard facts and hard science – and Prime Minister John Howard is just way too cool for that. After all, why would he want his government’s policy to be informed by people that are extremely knowledgeable?
