Global WArming and indifference

As the rest of civilized world gears up for and plans for the twin catastrophes of Global Warming and Peak Oil, we have the United States Of America a country that is only just now begining to understand this imminent threat. And the leader of this country, George W. Bush? He is busy playing with himself on vacation. Riding his "bikey-wikey" while people die and Global Warming increased unabated. By the way, what kind of moron clears brush in the middle of a steaming August day?

Every day I see stickers that are pro-Bush, and wonder what in the blue eyed world are these people drinking?

But, finally, years after scientists and others have beaten the drums of warning for Global Warming, we have some politicians willing to stand up and speak out....

Global Warming: Will You Listen Now, America?
By Andrew Buncombe
The Independent UK

Friday 19 August 2005

"Two of the leading contenders to contest the next US presidential election have delivered an urgent warning to the United States on global warming, saying the evidence of climate change has become too stark to ignore and human activity is a major cause."

" Washington - On a high-profile and bi-partisan fact-finding tour in Alaska and Canada's Yukon territory, Senators John McCain, a Republican, and Hillary Clinton, the Democratic senator for New York, were confronted by melting permafrost and shrinking glaciers and heard from native Inuit that rising sea levels were altering their lives..."

Then we have good ole George...the spoiled rich asshole...

".. President Bush's administration has repeatedly questioned the evidence of global warming and the contribution of human activity to any shift. Mr. Bush, who in 2001 refused to ratify the Kyoto treaty on global warming weeks after he took office, has repeatedly been accused of doing nothing to enforce tighter controls on emissions of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases"..."

Ah well, the beat goes on....
