Do you Give Bush Credit for Ending Global Warming?

Question

We now have the coldest temps in the last 25 years, with cold weather causing massive crop failures in both California and Florida.

Many parts of the country received the earliest snowfalls ever recorded - ever.

Much of the country has been in the longest deep freeze since the 1970's.

And the amount of snowfall in the country has exceeded total amounts in the last 50 years, with many parts receiving more snow this season than any previous year on record.

Do you give the credit to George Bush for ending global warming? Clearly his environmental policies are working, and he deserves the credit for his work.

he cooling isn't limited to just the US. The entire northern hemisphere is much cooler this year than previous years.

I also love the argument that says that cooling is proof that it warming. Only a pseudo science can embrace contradictions like that. That's like saying the drought is responsible for the flooding.

I have no doubt that if the weather was 15deg warmer instead of the current 15deg colder liberals would be comming out of the wood work claiming some kind of proof that global warming exist.

When it's colder that's just dismissed as "weather".

Answer 1

I think Global Warming is the biggest crap I've heard. I mean these scientists got to be smoking something if they think the Earth's temperature is rising but there's longer and colder winters. I think they thinbk that because in Africa it's getting warmer but that's because they are cutting down all there trees. What I'm saying is that Global Warming is stupid, but at least he's making an effort to end what is probably fake.

Answer 2

Well when Gore was VP with Clinton, little was actually done to fight CO2 emissions.

Bush at least has directed a major effort into switching over to ethanol as a fuel source from cellulose, as well as research into clean coal with the CO2 not released into the atmosphere.

There was practically no federal funding for such efforts before Bush proposed them.

Those two ideas have much more long term potential in reducing CO2 emmissions than any other ideas funded or supported by the government in the last 30 years by either political party.

Bush may be blamed by many as not admitting the problem but he has pushed for several serious actions that are a big part of the solution. Gore on the other hand has been a chicken little yelling about the sky falling but has yet to advocate realistic measures besides conservation that can be part of the solution. Gore's approach is currently more popular but it is doing less to fix the problem.

Answer 3

im not going to address all of your question however, just this part

"Ialso love the argument that says that cooling is proof that it warming. Only a pseudo science can embrace contradictions like that. That's like saying the drought is responsible for the flooding"

do some research on global dimming, not really pseudo science and not quite the paradox you assume that it is

that's all

EDIT:

Trouty, LMAO...wow, this RADIOpresenter/journalist guy is asking a SCIENCE teacher not to buy into Al Gore's line on Global warming...also, blogs arent biased MUCH are they?

I wonder how many times those scientists/climatologists get asked those same pathetic questions, no disrespect to yourself, but come on, the vast majority of scientists accept that not only is Global warming occuring, but that humans are the dominant cause....if you want to know why the Earth has gone through cooling and warming periods in the past, then do some research on the axial tilt of the Earth, it's orbit around the sun, major volcanic erruptions that temporarily affect the global climate....meteorites hitting the Earth...please....Do some scientific studies on the natural cycles of water, carbon, rocks etc...and just how in the last 200 years, humans have affected those cycles

Answer 4

Well, you probably know that global warming refers to a small degree or two rise spread out on a macro scale. So local events may not matter. Geez, it's snowing here right now and it's been so cold the last two weeks. Darn, there goes my heating budget.

If the macro data is correct, the real issue is political because it's a pawn in the liberal global socialist agenda to control everyone and everything. But like everything else in the annals of time, there's been changes and conflicts accompanying those changes, with all kinds of bad and good things happening, but eventually, mankind adjusts. So what's so bad about adjusting to a warmer world? There's a lot to look forward to. If George has ended global warming then nothing has really changed for us. If not, there may be something good to look forward to, like less fossil fuel burning, lower heating bills, less CO2, and things will head the other way in time. Yet another ice age.

It's called cycles.

Answer 5

Cold doesn't necessarily mean something good is happening. Bush has made no efforts to end global warming. And, by the way, where I live it is usually pouring rain about now. Instead, It's been in the 70s-80s. Not that I'm complaining, but it just isn't right.

Answer 6

Let's not confuse weather with climate. You are speaking of weather phenomena in one year, and only in one part of the world (the USA). Global warming deals with climate change over decades and centuries and over the entire GLOBE. So, no, I do not give Bush credit for ending global warming. I don't believe anyone will get credit either because global warming is inevitable, and in large part natural.

Besides, as a whole, this winter has been one of the warmest on record in the USA, aside from the anomolies you mentioned. Although that is due in large part to El Niño.

Also, I am curious about your sources. Could you please cite them? I have cited a report by NOAA that states that 2006 was in fact the warmest on record in the USA.

Answer 7

just because some places have been colder does not mean global warming has ended!! Extreme weather is a side effect of global warming, do some research! Bush only gets credit for being an absolute moron!!!

Answer 8

I don't think Bush did anything and neither did any one else. In Texas we broke a low temp. record that we had for 100 years . To disclaimer this little data is to put on blinders and say that it happens over many years. That is not science u don't throw out the data that might appear to swing things in the other direction. Search for the truth regardless and u might make a difference.

Answer 9

Global Warming = HOAX

Here's a good blog that asks some tough questions for the gullible people that think humans are the cause of all the world's problems...

Answer 10

hahhahahhahhahaha....

Is this answer a joke? I'm trying to be a little sarcastic...President Bush has done nothing to cure Global Warming...he will not do anything about it either...a couple of reason for this...1st of all, he is a republican...and republicans need the opportunity to create more money...CEO's, upper management, etc., you take out these opportunities and they believe that the economy will be more harmful than anything else...so, yes, he won't do a thing becuase it will interfere with his coporate sponsers pocket books (bluntly)...

Answer 11

in case you study the finished article, it says that the regularly occurring public of experts on the subject anticipate worldwide warming to proceed after a attainable short cooling. in case you have been paying close interest to the technology you will comprehend that it incredibly is commonplace or unpredicted. many human beings will proceed to have self belief what they choose regardless of the info.
