Environment and Children’s Deaths

The present U.S. Administration has not found itself able to let go of the support of the timber-lumber industry’s political support by making the environmental choice of selected cutting over clear-cutting. The support of the oil industry is also an inviolable need of this same Administration, with needless to say the most vicious of environmental results.
Why should we ever think, even with the advice of William K. Reilly, his chief of the U.S. delegation to the Earth Summit, that President Bush would sign the biological diversity treaty? If he can’t think in environmental betterment here, how could he set a precedent worldwide?
