Pretending to do something

This story needs a translation:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush unveiled a long-term strategy on climate change on Thursday, with plans to gather the countries that emit the most greenhouse gases and set a global emissions goal.

... The U.S. strategy calls for consensus on long-term goals for reducing the greenhouse gases that spur global warming, but not before the end of 2008, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Translation:

Everyone should agree with us ["consensus"] that they should do nothing, and, if they don't agree with us, everyone should do nothing because there is no "consensus".

Just today, we get news the NASA's director doesn't think we should do anything:

NASA administrator Michael Griffin is drawing the ire of his agency's preeminent climate scientists after apparently downplaying the need to combat global warming.
