what is Bush's thought on global warming?
106378
I am not sure of Mr. Bush's thoughts on the subject but most republicans deny it is happining. They say it is just a cycle and that it will take care of itself. Some left wingers think the is to satisfy special interest because of the republicans lack of invironment laws to address it. In all actuallity I think that if we don't do something soon to turn the tide we are going to poison the world to the point that there will be no turning around.

Not the Republicans, they don't believe in Global Warming and pollution. They have actually allowed the emissions to double in the last 6 years because the deregulated the pollution control guidelines. Bush hates America.

Here is the problem with global warming.\n1.  We do not know that it is occurring.\n2.  Even if it is occurring, we do not know if the sun is to blame, like with the melting of Martian polar caps, or if it is planet caused.\n3.  Even if it is planet caused, we do not know if it is nature, like when Krakatoa and Helens blew, or man caused.\n4.  Even if it is man caused, we do not know if the overall effects of an increased growing season and farmland increase is a bad thing.\n5.  Even if it is bad, we do not know if we can reverse it.\n6.  Even if we can reverse it, we do not know if it is more economically efficient to adapt or to try to reverse it.\n\nBut think instead of wack a mole at chucky cheese you could play club a seal in alaska.  Could be fun.

Interestingly enough, I would probably initiate a lot of the programs GW Bush talked about but never followed through on.\n\nFor example, after 9/11 we had a unique opportunity to unify the world behind efforts to 1) fight terrorism, 2) reduce oil dependency, and 3) create an "army" of volunteers, not soldiers. GW Bush had the right idea when he spoke about initiating a required volunteering program for all citizens (in his State of the Union in 2002, I believe). This type of program would not only offer assistance to both domestic and foreign people who need it most, but also give all Americans a better idea of what it's like to live like the "other half." What better way to fight terrorism than to stop it at its roots of poverty and violence?\n\nIn addition, after 9/11 we could have passed a real energy policy that would drastically increase investment in alternate fuels and energy sources and require far better gas efficiency in all vehicles. These changes would reduce our dependency on oil and help curb global warming at the same time. And we would once again be a leader in technology and advancement in the world.\n\nI likely will not be on a ticket in 2008, but maybe someone who will be will take this advice!

>>>>>Do you know anything bout global warming?\n\nYes, quite alot.\n\n>>>>do you not agree about global warming?\n\nThat sentence makes no sense. Resubmit in English.

This is pretty much a dead subject since the Bush Administration ignores that there is a Global Warming problem. They wouldn't continue the program.

One of the major reasons that the Bush administration has not signed the Kyoto Protocols after the US helped to draft it is due to the fact that major emitters of greenhouse gases can buy credits from countries that have lower emission rates. That means that smaller countries can sell their "credits" that they have because they are below the line required by the Kyoto Protocol to a country like Canada that produces a lot of carbon gases. Even Russia is far below their level and can make millions of dollars selling off their credits, because the line is based on things like size of land, and Russia is obviously not very populated on a sizable portion of its territory. Most of the provisions of the accords only apply to developed countries, and not to those considered "third-world" or "developing." This is considered unfair, and an unfair burden on the larger countries that have to reduce their greenhouse gas emission to 5.2% lower than their countries emission levels in 1990. \n\nFurthermore prior to the Kyoto Protocol being presented to the United States for ratification, the Senate passed a resolution, 95-0, called the Byrd-Hagel Resolution, that clearly said the US shall not sign any agreement that did not have fair guidelines for all countries, regardless of whether or not they were developed or developing. \n\nPresident Bush has said that he also does not like the separation and unfair limits for developing and developed countries, and he is wary of the strains that Kyoto would have on the United States economy. However, his unwillingness to present the Protocol to the Senate for ratification has been construed by the rest of the world and many in this country that believe that he doesn't care for the environment. Whether or not that is true as well one can decide on their own, but publicly he has mentioned the unfair limits and worries about the economy as his reasons for not presenting it for ratification. And while America is one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases, President Bush is interested in reducing it, but not through the Kyoto Protocol. Most likely that is something that will be left to the next administration in 2008, but it's another story if the environment can wait that long for the United States to start cleaning up its act.

Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans.\n\nSome of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere).\n\nThere's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. \n\nLow-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid.\n\nRead any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored.

I think Bush rationalizes what he's doing by saying to himself "I'm building out an infrastructure (by helping to set up new markets in the middle east: Iraq) which will buy us Americans more time to recover from the Ecomomic bust of the Dotcom/Market crash with lower overall costs to us (cheaper gas).  \n\nBut what he's really doing is supplying us with our Chemical Dependancy for two minutes longer and then we'll all have to go cold turkey when the entire world turns to us and says "Look you guys are just wrong."\n\nOn a positive note...Americans aren't stupid.  We know this is all BS and want out of this situation.  We don't want to piss everyone off.....just the French.  GM has this new commerical where they are talking about using Corn Oil as fuel.   I'm blown away....that's huge!  That's got to be the most revolutionary concept for a major American corporation since the Ford Assembly Line.  I'm fu*kin buying GM!

Sounds like W to me.  I've heard that he believes that the current generation is the last one before the apocolypse, so he doesn't need to worry about the future.  It would explain his policies on international affairs, the ecology, and the economy.

I have been wondering if I would see a global warming question up here.  I thought for sure there would just be a bunch of answer blaming Bush for it.  I am glad to see it hasn't gone that way yet.\n\nThis whole global warming thing is a complete sham.  When I was in school they used to run stories on global cooling, we were all going to be under ice, because all the air pollution was going to block out the sun.  Now its global warming, just more nonsense.\n\nUnfortunately they don't teach you kids much in school nowadays.  The Earth goes through climate changes ALL THE TIME.  I know you have all heard of ice ages, probably only because of the cute little kids movie, but we have had them its really true.  It has also been really, really hot here.  We have been completely covered by ice, we have been without even ice at the poles.  The poles themselves actually flip from time to time.  One day the north pole will be the south pole, it has happened before and it will happen again.\n\nWe can't even come close to attempting to try to affect the climate.  And nothing we can do, can stop, or alter where the climate is going.  If it does in fact get warmer, we didn't do it, and we can't stop it.\n\nYou really need to understand what is behind things like this though, because it is truely unAmerican.   A large part of the world and more unfortunately a small but significant percentage of our own people, simply believe we do not deserve to be the world most powerful country.  And everything they can do, to level the playing field, they will do.  This is simply one of those devices.  There are plenty and there will be more.

Many scientists believe that we are actually heading toward a global ice-age as opposed to a global warming.  \n\nAlthough a work of FICTION Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" provides evidence to support this.\n\nI suggest reading it (it's FIRST AND FOREMOST a good FICTION book, but is supported by genuine theories and statistics that ARE IN FACT from "Science" and "Nature" magazines, the worlds fore-most scientific mags)\n\nTo be honest I don't think we're experiencing anything unnatural about our environment right now.

In this enviroment of Global Warming I would say not. Cold is not cool any more, warming is hot.

From the very beginning of the {Bush Ad min} I have been watching the Environmental Protection Agencies & what they have to say about the Bush Administrations waste. The E.P.A. never says anything when asked how & when, & what is the Bush Admin going to do w/all of the {Fossil Fuels} that he wants to waste in no time flat. It would auctually Cost the American Tax Payer a whole lot more money to build & Pay off the Alaskan Citizens w/incentives from those {Revenues form all that Oil}At the same time the Carribue Herd in Alaska would be re-routed from their original (Ancient Paths that have been around before Mankind can fix a date on.Changeing the Carribue & the Natural habis of getiing around is to cruel of an act that will only be around for a short while. The Republican Party has been a cold & calculative bunch that see;s no end th their lack of vision for our very planet, & it's atmosphere.

1. Perhaps he does not believe that Global Warming is really a threat to mankind. Not that we should just blow off the whole 'take care of the earth' thing, but as Christians we know that Global Warming is not a major issue. While we should do our part to help, global warming will not be the 'fall of mankind', so it does not deserve top billing.\n\n2. None, I have no reason to watch it myself so I have no interest in trying to persuade someone else to waste his time either....he is busy with important stuff anyway.

No. There are plenty of other theories. The EPA can't and hasn't proven any of their theories. Even a Harvard scientist said that we may just be recovering from a mini Ice Age that caused famine for 400 years (Ireland's potato famine). Who am I supposed to believe? I am not scared, although I do believe it is a good time to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Who knows what the cause of "global warming" is? Oh well. Let's just reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There's nothing harmful in that.

I don't believe in global warming . .I believe in my opinion is the signs that Christ is coming back soon! If you don't agree that is cool by me.
