Do you think Bush's global warming plan sucks?

Question

Here is an op-ed piece from a health website about his plan to fight global warming.

Answer 1

There is a worldwide mechanism in place for facing the challenges of climate change - the Kyoto Protocol. America and Australia are the only two countries in the world not to have ratified it.

If Bush wants to be seen as taking a serious stand against global warming then he should join the rest of the world and not come up with a personal aggenda.

The timing strikes me as a little suspicions with the G8 meeting to discuss climate change just a few days away. Has Bush got an unterior motive or is he trying to save face because he's isolated from the rest of the G8 countries?

The US is already viewed as isolationist and insular by many people, Bush's policy is in danger of further enhancing this unwanted reputation around the world.

Yes, it suck's, and will only cost us taxpayers money.Get ready to spend billions and watch our senetors fight over which states will get the most ''porkbarrel'' projects. There's nothing we insignificant, pathetically small human beings can do to alter the Earth's natural cycles.There is a warming going on. Over time it will be followed by a cooling, which in turn will be followed by yet another warming and so on. There is nothing to panic about. The world as we know it will not end. We are not all going to perish as a result of this warming trend. Just about everything we understand to date has a pattern. This wave pattern occurs often in nature, including ocean waves, sound waves, and light waves.All of these can be graphed or illustrated with a sine wave, and as a result can then be monitored and analyzed. In the case of global temperature we just don't have enough accurate data yet to ''plot'' a pattern which would help us predict coming changes. Don't forget, the only accurate recorded data we have dates back only about 100 years, everything else is just theories and guesswork.

I would imagine if we had realistic meteorological data from more than just a hundred years we would see a pattern (or frequency), not unlike sound and light waves form.

Most of it is just the liberal's media stirring things up. For example, if the polar ice caps are melting then why after only forty years in Greenland did they find a squadron of air planes 250 feet below ice?

This is for Trevor. The Kyoto Protocol was signed by Al Gore in 1997, yes he is the one that actually put pen to paper and signed it for the US. The US Senate voted 95-0 not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol or any other treaty that exempted the develping world from CO2 emissions reduction standards. That is how the treaty process works in the United States. The Executive branch can sign any treaty they want, but it will not become a binding agreement until the Senate ratifies the treaty.

President Bush did not become President until 2001.

Therefore, he is not to blame for not siging on to Kyoto. It was out of his hands long before he even entertained the thought of running for President.

As to the question at hand, ANY plan to fight global warming is tilting at windmills.

Science has yet to conslusively state that CO2 is the culprit. Any modelling currently done is woefully inadequate at handling any number of factors that go into climate change. Cloudiness, cosmic ray flux due to changes in the sun, UV/vis/IR irradiance changes in the sun, urban heat island effect, etc. Thus, we have people openly saying we need to enact drastic policy changes to prevent a problem that is not well modeled and just may be entirely out of our hands as a species. Then to actually have an opinion as to whether or not one plan or another is better at preventing the poorly understood problem is, well, ludicrous, to be generous.

Answer 4

Why do you think of presidents or top ministers can do something to alter the temperature of the planet? The planets climate is going with the aid of cycles, it warms up, it cools down. If human beings have achieved something to electrify this, it started out whith the begining of the business revolution interior the overdue nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, long earlier Bush or Harper, and probable in elementary terms hastend what replaced into already occurring. something a modern-day president does now could be in simple terms for tutor. quit aggravating approximately what we can't administration and initiate up residing your existence.

Answer 5

Ya Know What. The WHOLE Bush Thing Sucks! I don't lik Bush!

Answer 6

Everything about Bush sucks

Answer 7

Yes! Just another atempt by Bush to boost his ratings.

Answer 8

i know, see he doesnt agree with UK. you know what? the country which gives off most sulphur and hydrogen is USA. but it doesnt agree with the UK recycling plann. USA has already started lots of nuclear power stations and nuclear research centers. also think about the rockets, rockets gives off lots of harmful gasses such as carbon monoxide. and also.... bush's plan sucks even more

Answer 9

Of course Bush is an lame person you cant trust any one who won't bring our troops home.

Answer 10

Don't worry, once we get a democrat in office, things will be fixed.
