Notes:
George Bush withdrew the US from the Bonn summit on the Kyoto protocol in 2001 saying he was sceptical of the science behind global warming and disagreed with the exclusion of 'major population centres such as China and India. This galled many, as the US itself, though having only about 5% of the worlds population produces about a quarter of all GHGs. Many have cited the fact that he is an oil man himself, and that his political career has been largely funded by oil money as reason for his withdrawal.
