Caught in what appears to be a moment of eco-confusion, President Bush checks to make sure he's on the right track before adding more dirt to his ceremonial planting.
This photo op (with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev) was staged after a working session during the 3-day G8 Summit. Over the course of the summit, the world's eight major industrialized nations are discussing issues including the world economy, environment and climate change as well as development in Africa.
While the summit has produced some movement on environmental issues -- such as agreements on emissions cuts, and discussions about biofuel's affect on food prices -- activists are suffering their traditional disappointments, frustrated as usual that world leaders aren't setting a more progressive agenda. And so it goes.
