US climate change plan branded 'Neanderthal'
| Quote From Source: | Germany says Mr Bush has taken climate change policy back in time, to before last December's UN climate talks in Bali and last July's G8 summit.
In a statement called "Bush's Neanderthal speech," German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said: "His speech showed not leadership but losership. We are glad that there are also other voices in the United States."
South Africa said Mr Bush's proposal was a disastrous effort from the world's biggest carbon polluter, and a "slap" to developing countries.
Climate experts say any new agreement must form a bridge between the US and the EU, on the one hand, and developing nations on the other.
Mr Bush's critics say that instead of setting a date for cutting US emissions, he had merely chosen the year 2025 for them to peak.
