Bush:"I have said consistantly that Global Warming is a Serious

[leftyladyfrommo]

Problem."

This is really good guys. Do any of you remember Bush saying that Global Warming is a serious problem? I sure don't.

Look down on the left side un "Nation:" headlines. I couldn't figure out how to get the whole link on here. It's true. I am a techno idiot.

2. His lips were moving

ergo: he's lying

[baldguy]

3. That's why we need to study it more.

:sarcasm:

[ixion]

4. I remember him saying something along the lines of "the jury is still out"

regarding global warming, and that's on a good day.

Otherwise, I can point to a dozen or so instances where this malicious admin has 'revised' science reports exposing the threat of global warming.

5. HaHa...uncuriousgeorge.

Al Gore got to bush..even bush is coming around to Al Gore's way of looking at the world.

Gore is the Leader.

6. This is over on Breaking News Now - bigger discussion

Good - we need to discuss this.

[Toots]

7. I seem to recall him saying something about Al Gore for believing in this.

It was not at all flattering and just a few days ago when asked if he would go and see Al's movie he had another very unflattering comment to make. Like Joe Biden said. They are no longer worth responding to because they have zero credibility.

<snip>
George Bush made campaign promises in 2000 to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. However, in 2001, George Bush pulled the US out of the Kyoto accords as one of the first acts of his presidency. Bush dismissed Kyoto Protocol as too costly, describing it as "an unrealistic and ever-tightening straitjacket." Lately, the White House has even questioned the validity of the science behind global warming, and claims that millions of jobs will be lost if the US joins in this world pact.

9. I do remember hearing him say

that we'd just have to get used to the heat. The douche has zero understanding
of this matter. Big surprise.

10. Here's Bushie on Global warming

16. LOL

[npincus]

11. during a Gore-B*sh debate, he denied it was scientifically proven

I remember the asshole mocking the issue during one of the debates. Of course the media savaged GORE-- I think for being too "aggressive".

[hatrack]

12. And now, with DC under water and an election four months out . . .

Suddenly, it's a "serious problem".

Whatever.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. Well, it's pouring in DC. Maybe the wierd weather is getting to him.

[zbdent]

14. Ask him for references

since he has always said it, then he could just spout off numerous dates for the MSM to go back and look at their tapes . . .

:eyes: :sarcasm:

[ComerPerro]

15. But its not the fault of corporations

[Lisa]

17. as usual, Bush has tried to have it both ways

Yes, he said in the past that it's an issue "that we need to take very seriously", but he has waffled by saying that there isn't enough scientific information -- and I don't know what "I don't think we've got all the facts before we make decisions" means, but it sure doesn't sound like he's about to spring into action. But what do you expect from someone who mixes up the words "cause" and "solution"?

The Second Gore-Bush Presidential Debate


"MODERATOR: What about global warming?

BUSH: I think it's an issue that we need to take very seriously. But I don't think we know the solution to global warming yet. And I don't think we've got all the facts before we make decisions. I tell you one thing I'm not going to do is I'm not going to let the United States carry the burden for cleaning up the world's air. Like Kyoto Treaty would have done. China and India were exempted from that treaty. I think we need to be more even-handed, as evidently 99 senators -- I think it was 99 senators supported that position.

MODERATOR: Global warming, the Senate did turn it down. I think --

BUSH: 99 to nothing.

GORE: Well, that vote wasn't exactly -- a lot of the supporters of the Kyoto Treaty actually ended up voting for that because the way it was worded. But there's no doubt there's a lot of opposition to it in the Senate. I'm not for command and control techniques either. I'm for working with the groups, not just with industry but also with the citizen groups and local communities to control sprawl in ways that the local communities themselves come up with. But I disagree that we don't know the cause of global warming. I think that we do. It's pollution, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals that are even more potent, but in smaller quantities, that cause this. Look, the world's temperature is going up, weather patterns are changing, storms are getting more violent and unpredictable. What are we going to tell our children? I'm a grandfather now. I want to be able to tell my grandson when I'm in my later years that I didn't turn away from the evidence that showed that we were doing some serious harm. In my faith tradition, it is -- it's written in the book of Matthew, "Where your heart is, there is your treasure also." And I believe that -- that we ought to recognize the value to our children and grandchildren of taking steps that preserve the environment in a way that's good for them.

BUSH: Yeah, I agree. I just -- I think there has been -- some of the scientists, I believe, Mr. Vice President, haven't they been changing their opinion a little bit on global warming? A profound scientist recently made a different --"
