Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

You may be on to something Pointer, but we'll need to get rid of the CVT. Much too efficient If we coordinated running all of our stuff together at the same time I think we have a fighting chance, there are 70,000+ of us, right?

As best as i can tell they no for a FACT that Desert Areas have been growing as the climate warms up for at least the last 10,000 years.<br /><br />Which is a LONG time before we had any effect on the climate.<br /><br />If any teck can really change that fine BUT it is much better to see the smogy skyline cleaning up a bit from the efforts that are being made<br /><br /><br />tommays

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

By Haut Medoc: "Well then how about a pre-emptive strike with less than reliable information? Seems "W" may have pulled that a couple times before....."<br /><br />That was the off topic Cheap Shot I referred to. It has ZERO to do with Global Warming.<br /><br />Still off topic: Presidents are always making decisions with less than perfect, sometimes incorrect, intelligence. <br /><br />In spite of the Saddam-planted misleading intel, GWB made correct decisions to invade Afghanistan and to depose Saddam.<br /><br />What is going on in Iraq now is not the war to depose Saddam. It is a war to decide whether majority ruled representative Democracy or (minority) Sunni dominated Theocracy will actually replace Saddam.<br /><br />What do you suppose will happen to Iraq if we withdraw now as so many chicken livered wimps seem to want? I see a Taliban Afghanistan reborn and worse trouble for us than we have now.<br /><br />"There are those who would appease (our enemy), but they are blind to history's clear lesson: that appeasement but begets new and bloodier wars."

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

You liberals and the global warming are the same sort that said we humans and our capitalism would pollute where there would be no fish in the Houston Ship Channel and other rivers along the chemical plants and refineries. <br /><br />You liberals dream up crud like dumping by humans could become a problem.<br /><br />Next you will be saying living in coal burning areas is hazardous to our health.<br /><br />People and industry do not damage the environment, if that was so, there would be polluted air in large cities and fish kills on rivers and heck even pollution in our drinking water.<br /><br />You liberals just worry too much!!!!

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Lets bring this back to the topic of global warming. A couple of months back Charlie Rose had, what he describe as, "the two top scientist in the US" on his program and they both said without a doubt global warming is in fact happening. They went on to say that it is completely agreed upon in the scientific community that the reason behind global warming is the worlds use of burning fossil fuels. They did mention that there was one scientist that disagreed and other than him, the only scientists that disagreed were on the fossil fuel industries payroll. Kind of like the only doctors that refuted the ties between cigarettes smoking and cancer, were on the payroll of the tobacco companies.<br /><br />As to the "liberal lies" charge, I think the case can be made that Bush is a liar on this issue. We basically have the whole scientific community united as to the cause of global warming and Bush continues to act like the jury is still out. <br /><br />As for Jim Hightower, I think he has a point. If Bush thinks the cause of global warming hasn't been proven, he is in fact not acknowledging it.<br />Because if the cause of global warming in not from burning fossil fuels, than the only other reason that I heard of is normal climate fluctuations. If you believe that, than you are in fact not acknowledging global warming.

JB wrote,<br /><br />"Are you saying that Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal??"<br /><br />Not sure how liberal Teddy Roosevelt was, but he was definitely too much of an environmentalist for the Republican party. That why he had to start the Bull Moose party.

"People and industry do not damage the environment, if that was so, there would be polluted air in large cities and fish kills on rivers and heck even pollution in our drinking water."<br /><br />I can only take that statement two ways. You're being sarcastic, or you have your head buried in the sand even further than Dubya. What planet are you living on??? Everything you say up above, happens. Do you actually believe the things you spew in that response? MAN! Talk about DENIAL!!!

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

With the "cheap shot", I was bringing attention to the fact that "W" will ignore something that he really doesn't want to deal with ...<br />Dismissing it with a, "Well we don't have all the facts before so we can't make any decisions".<br />But, he (WE) went into Iraq without alot of facts & he had no qualms about it...<br />The parallel here is if you are willing to make a pre-emptive strike against one perceived bad thing, then why ignore a different one?<br />Why not err on the side of caution with respect to global warming instead of simply sweeping it under the rug?..... Enough said, this hoss been beat to death...<br /> And as you can see by Dave's post above, there is irrefutable evidence of global warming..... <br />But, now I'm not so sure that it is a bad thing... .....JK

Originally posted by PW2:<br /> So, because you don't agree with their system of government, it is ok to completely ignore their concerns, while criticizing them for not being supportive of our concerns?<br /><br />Hmm??? I can't imagine why some in Europe consider Americans arrogant!

System of government? Last time I checked, most of Europe had somwe kind of democratic government. I have no problem with that whatsoever. What I do know is that the Europeans have aspirations of economic domination...that's fine, too, they can aspire all they want. But when they and the rest of the world try to find tricky little ways to hamstring us economically, I object. Some of the schemes they have hatched over the years bring back memories of my childhood when I tried to convince the kid down the street to eat his own excrement.<br /><br />To suggest that we Americans are arrogant because we are unwilling to agree to enter the boxing ring with our hands tied behind our back is just stupid.

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

GW has never denied that the globe is warming. He says we need more info before we try to do anything about it.<br /><br />Perhaps it is a liberal conspiracy.

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Where did GWB get his science degree? And does he know something that our top scientist don't?
