    The blunt language of the rejection sets the scene for a showdown at the summit to be held at the German resort of Heiligendamm from June 6-8.

    "We have tried to 'tread lightly' but there is only so far we can go given our fundamental opposition to the German position,'' the U.S. said in red ink comments at the start of a copy of the draft communique seen by Reuters on Friday.

      OK folks, just forget Global Warming, Al Gore, Neo - Conservative, Liberals for time being.

      How about stopping pollution of air we breathe and water we drink, vegetables we grow and animals we breed or animals in the WILD?

      If anyone still have denial about POLLUTING OUR PLANET and need scientific proof, just that is proof that HIS/HER brain is destroyed by breathing polluted air, drinking polluted water, eating polluted vegetables and meat... My wife, an famous Chinese artist, when she had art show at Chinese National Arts Museum (1999) about "MAN & NATURE" (or Chinese Green Revolution) made this statement:

      "...It is unreasonable to take forcible action in order to conquer own village..." and she is not communist, not Neo-Con and nor Liberal eather...

      (Oh, all paintings about "Man & Nature" is posted on our website).
