U.S., avoiding action at current climate meeting, announces new climate meeting 1

President Bush has announced a climate-change meeting in Hawaii next month for 17 of the world's major greenhouse-gas emitters to talk about setting goals for curbing emissions. The meeting is a follow-up to an anticlimactic summit that Bush hosted in late September. Oddly enough, during the pivotal climate-change meeting going on in Bali right this red-hot minute, the attitude of the U.S. is so obstructionist that 11 U.S. House Committee chairfolk felt compelled to write a letter assuring delegates that "President Bush's avoidance of action is not the status quo here in America."

    More info please!Does anyone know who the 11 lovely U.S. House members were that wrote the letter to the other attendees in Bali? I'd love to know so I can send them a big "thanks!" for having enough smarts and guts to step up and say what needed to be said. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me the list of names. Cheers!
