Is President Bush putting us all in danger by denying the conclusive scientific evidence of global warming?

Answer 1

Yes...and to those of you who answered here saying that there is no scientific proof, you seem like fools to those of us who have done our homework. The OVERWHELMING majority of climate scientists are now onboard with the idea that the Earth is warming at a rate far beyond normal cyclical cycles and this warming coincides with the Industrial Revolution, and that this warming is due to human activities. Please for your own good, research the facts and please don't get those "facts" from the 700 club or from our current government. ExxonMobil has paid extraordinary sums of money trying to "debunk" leading scientists' research and the benefit for them there is not hard to understand. The oil/gas industry also contributes heavily to Republican campaigns around the country each year. When some people are ready to swallow their pride and admit that they were wrong maybe we can get this issue under control before it's too late.

Answer 2

the call remains out as to the reason of international warming. The information which helps the diverse camps of world warming, IE. organic happening cycle, CO2 emissions, image voltaic interest, at the instant are not yet sufficient to furnish us conclusive evidence. it extremely is silly to handle the project by the very costly help of carbon emissions that throughout the top will in basic terms furnish an extremely marginal distinction in temperature. the fee being a help in strengthen costs by out the international hurting the international's unfavorable the main. international governments are wiser to pursue a direction of extra examine and technologies progression extremely than putting limits on carbon emissions now,

Answer 3

Well his first EPA Director he appointed thought so!!! Mrs. Whitman resigned in utter disgust.Whitman clashed with senior White House officials and others in the administration over how best to address climate change, arsenic levels in drinking water, and industry complaints that EPA's air pollution rules were stymieing efficiency improvements.

Within months of coming to the EPA, Whitman in a memo to Bush called global warming "a credibility issue for the U.S. in the international community" and said "we need to appear engaged." A short time later, the president withdrew from the climate talks.

It "was a little awkward," she acknowledged Wednesday, when asked about the new U.S. policy on climate change.

Whitman also expressed frustration over the administration's handling of allowable arsenic levels in drinking water - first rescinding the regulation altogether, then, after a public outcry, agreeing to go along with the tougher standards that Whitman had urged.

Whitman also favored enforcement of a Clean Air Act provision known as "New Source Review," requiring that any increase in production from older factories, power plants and refineries be accompanied by state-of-the-art pollution controls. The regulations were criticized widely within the White House. The EPA eased them last December.

Answer 4

Because he is a Republican-- big business, small government. But I totally agree with the reply above, he's towing the party line (against science) for the good of the party and the elections. But above all, reducing emissions and all those other things for the sake of the planet would take a huge hit on all the big businesses that contribute to and support the GOP.

Answer 5

I don't think Bush is putting us in danger. I think he is showing his anti-science tendencies for the sake of the financial gains of the petroleum companies. He is only going to be in office until January 2009. After that, someone else will be in office who will address the issue. I hope there is time to make a smooth transition toward some alternatives. It will have to happen.

Answer 6

On a day when global warming is conclusive. Please clue me in to the "proof" of global warming. I will only accept information from actual scientist using scientific method. Other than that they are just another idiot with an opinion.

Answer 7

I find it odd that leaders of other countries believe that global warming exists and America's president does not. If our own scientists are saying it is possible, why are certain individuals denying it?

Answer 8

Global Warming is a very serious problem.

There is overwhelming scientific evidence that it is real.

Answer 9

I haven't seen any conclusive scientific evidence just theories. Is this a trick question, too?

Answer 10

Absolutely, and if we as voters don't do something about it soon, we will be doomed. In California, the voters can vote to pass prop 87 for alternative energy sources that can help the atmosphere with less polution. Mr. Bush and some people like him don't believe sh*t stinks unless you hold it under their noses......
