Bush calls for climate change talks

Politically expedient drivel. Liar, liar, pants on fire!

It will take decades to undo junior's mess, the worst of which will become evident over the next decade long after he is sent to stand and answer before an international tribune. As individuals we are at the precipice of a severe recession which is just beginning to rear it's ugly head (ask someone who can no longer afford their house payments and have had the house on the market for months now with no lookers.) We can only hope some other party (3rd.?) will eclipse the anti-environmental party for generations. It is up to us to keep the failings of the 'worst president ever' in the forefront of people's dialog in order to keep his party on the fringes. It's really nothing more than they've done to the dems for over a decade.

The cows are coming home to roost.

 

Bush calls for climate change talks. That's the good news.

The bad news is his representative at the talks will be Sen. James Inhofe from Oklahoma!

July 2003 - Senate floor - Sen James Inhofe (R- Naturally): "The notion of human-caused global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."

 

How many folks are familiar with 'responsible science' ? It's a republican thing.

As for this meeting -- just delaying tactics to actually *do* nothing, and PR so that in 5 - 10 years when climate change is the issue on everybody's mind, the republicans can say that bush and the party were proactive against climate change.

Republicans nauseate me.

Just be glad they're not ripping up YOUR Wilderness area and wiping out Your Mule Deer, Wild Horses, Sage Grouse, etc. ..... Oh Yeah, they are, aren't they?

 

Same here trying to exterminate fallow and axis deer which were introduced 60 years ago. To make matters worse, they plan to hire professionals to shoot them from helicopters. Why they can't manage the herds by opening them up to limited hunting season thereby encouraging sport, meat for hunter's families, and hunting fees to fund contraception for the remaining deer is beyond me. Instead of paying money out for hiring helicopters and professional shooters why not go for money in via hunting fees instead? I guess our parks have money to burn.

 

What's to discuss? Bush is already quite facile at creating, proposing, and implementing proposals which end up changing the climate.

The only thing we're missing is re-introducing the domestic trash incinerator. Keeps messy trash out of the landfill, and gets those polluting garbage trucks off the streets, too!!

Ohhhh, they're going to talk about how *not* to change the climate...

Whatever do *they* know about THAT?

I don't think I agree with you on this, unless you're being facetious.

Are you familiar with the Buffalo Field Campaign?

The cattle lobby claims that the Buffalo in Yellowstone park will spread Bruceillitis (sp?) to their cattle when they cross state lines to give birth, and so now hunting licenses are issued to "control the population."

Once, I participated in a sit-in to disrupt the process. What I saw there was brutal; I was sickened, actually. There's a somewhat famous picture of a young boy, all duded out in hunting gear, posing next to the pregnant animal he'd just killed with his huge rifle...

Disgusting.

I'm sorry, leave this to paid killers. Don't let hand-picked citizens who have political connections be the ones to implement the slaughter.

They enjoy it WAAAAAAY too much.

PS I'll bet the boy's dad is one of those folks who says they're against abortion...'cause it kills an unborn fetus!!

 

Yes, I laughed too when I saw that this administration is suddenly "serious" about the environment, and global warming in particular. I agree with others who have pointed out this is just a politically expedient statement in a (vain) attempt to increase his already incredibly poor approval ratings. This is still the administration that thinks global warming is a hoax, perpetrated by tree-hugging liberals (like me). Just to add more fuel to this fire (no pun intended) I was watching the Fox "News" channel's business block this morning (I watch it occasionally to hear what the enemy is saying, since everyone knows Fox "News" is the propaganda arm of the current administration) and low and behold, they were Prius-bashing this morning. This was during a block where the talking (ultra right-wing conservative) heads were discussing the fact that during a question and answer session, Senator Edwards had suggested that perhaps Americans should consider not driving gas-guzzling SUV's as one way to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and also to help decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Ben Stein, one of the regulars on this program, said he still wasn't convinced that global warming was real, and that he would continue to drive his Cadillac (unfortunately, he is a neighbor of mine). Another contributor said she had test driven a Prius, and it made her feel like she "was 17 years old again, driving my first car." Another agreed, stating there was no way she could get all of her children into a Prius and she would continue to drive her SUV. Another said he would intentially try to find the biggest, gas-guzzling truck he could because all of this "nonsense about driving a hybrid will do nothing to change global warming, and besides, it's only 1 degree increase every 100 years, so who cares!" These folks on Fox "News" Channel are the organ of this administration, so Bush's statement that he wants to do something about global warming is as much a hoax as he really thinks global warming is. Just my 2 cents! . . . :angry:
