Many people (a large majority being Republicans/Conservatives) still maintain global warming is not being accelerated by the massive amounts of emissions we are releasing into the atmosphere.
Bush has recently said (1/29/07) that Global warming is a serious challenge and we have to promote technologies to advance the development of renewable energy sources that release no emissions.
Is he lying?
Or has he finally seen the augmentations that our current level of emissions (highest ever) are causing to a "natural cycle"?

Some corporate pals of his, who have fought global warming proponents for years, have apparently found a way to make some serious $$$$, so they are now on the band wagon.
That's my take, anyway.

GWB has never argued with the findings about global warming! His objections have been in giving country's such as China and India a pass while larger and more developed country's, such as the US, must comply with the standards set forth. He has also expressed concern about damage to the US economy should the US comply with everything the Kyoto accord has suggested.

I don't follow environmentalists, I believe the scientists who studied this for the last 40 years. They know more than Bush ever has or will ever admit. Bush lied and cooked the books on Global Warming when he took office and had an oil industry insider help him rewrite the U.S position on global warming. BTW, "Climate Change" is a neo-conservative term to make Global Warming sound safe or harmless. It is a euphanism just like "Collateral damage" for bombing and killing civilians, or "Ethnic Cleansing" for Genocide.

The two have nothing to do with each other.
The Global Warming being caused by humans is a lie. It is easily to disprove.
I have to see exactly what he said on the matter you refer to. What I believe he said is we need to develop other energy sources. We have lots of problems with oil producing countries. The environmentalists are too powerful and there are not enough Republicans with a backbone to stand up to them.
Send me a link to exactly what he said and I can comment further.

The report will be releashed tomorrow, and it will not be kind to the Republicans or their financial backers( the oil companies)
Exxon made over 30,000,000,000,000 (30billion) dollars in profits in 2006--- how can we expect the oil industry to embrace or even allow congress to make changes to their cash cow?
30 billion dollars in 2006 the war in Iraq, seems we know why we invaded,its all so clear.

Sometimes, when the evidence just becomes so overwhelming, a man just has to hitch a ride on the band wagon.

No, no hoax just a natural occurrence. We are supposed to go into cooling again in another 10 years, like we did 10 years ago.
