Why is President Bush denying that global warming exists?

Answer 1

He actually stopped denying it exists. The scientific proof was too overwhelming even for him.

His new plan is just to not do anything about it but talk.

"After more than six years spent in office delaying action and denying the mounting scientific evidence, Bush said, "In recent years, science has deepened our understanding of climate change and opened new possibilities for confronting it. The United States takes this issue seriously."

Bush said he would lead discussions with other industrialized nations on setting "aspirational goals" and voluntary standards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the long term. Perhaps not so coincidentally, such standards wouldn't go into effect until just before Bush leaves office in January 2009."

Answer 2

He is not denying that it exists, only that humans are causing it, to say otherwise is an outright lie, lead by fools and charlatans who hope to scare the American public into destroying our ecomny. I base this on the following facts that any 5th grader can easily check out if they really want to know the truth, instead of being lead by the nose like a complete fool.
1. The alarmist claim that burning fossil fuels is the cause of recent warming, however most of the warming took place before most of the increase of CO2. There was actually a significant cooling period from the mid-1940s to the late 1970s, while CO2 was increasing rapidly, and there was another increase from 1979 to 1998. In fact there has been no warming since 1998 – an eight-year period, and even a slight statistically cooling, despite the fact that CO2 has continued to rise.
2. The correlation between co2 emissions effecting global warming is extremely small compared to the correlation between global temperature and sun cycles. The sun cycles affect temperature in two ways first by the cycling up and down of actual heat energy that is emitted by the sun. This has a small effect on global temperature. The more important one is cycling in solar winds. Solar wind blocks cosmic radiation from coming into the Earth’s atmosphere. The more cosmic rays come in the more low level clouds there are and low-level clouds reflect solar heat energy back into space. If there are more clouds the earth is cooler and if there are fewer clouds, the earth is warmer. As solar wind cycles up cosmic rays cycle up and down in reverse and clouds up and down. So the solar window is very important to earth’s temperature, but you will not change.

Answer 3

So what if worldwide warming IS a truth, do you expect that the politicians can opposite it? If CO2 within the surroundings is the important wrongdoer, how so much of it's because of the burning of fossil fuels? (Answer: four%) So what are they going to do, whilst CO2 emissions from the ocean account for fifty seven% of CO2 within the surroundings, and usual breathing bills for 38%, with simply one million% being because of alterations of land use and de-forestation? To make a gigantic difference to the total quantity of CO2 within the surroundings, allow on my own opposite it, you would not be speaking in phrases of a ten% discount in oil or coal intake, and even 20%, and even 30%. Nothing in need of 50% goes to have so much of an final result, and that might spell fiscal and social cave in. It's very handy to state the noticeable, but it surely takes just a little extra sophistication to reach at suitable solutions I'm afraid, and a couple of individuals strolling to paintings or getting the bicycle out, is not going to avoid wasting the planet. In truth, the trendy obsession with worldwide-warming is also diverting mankind type the extra urgent problems of over-populace, waste of assets, chemical air pollution and waste-disposal. Furthermore, ALL the western govt preserve to hawk the parable of globalisation, neo-liberal economics and the frenzy toward international-large consumerism; the very intent for immoderate power creation, shipping air pollution and the issues defined above. In a submit-patron society, you may also stand a risk of being taken significantly, however now not as matters are at reward, considering there are too many vested pursuits in retaining the popularity-quo of capitalism.

Answer 4

Bush quit denying global warming exists a year ago . Where have you been?

Answer 5

Carbon dioxide is NOT A POLLUTANT. CO2 does not even account for one percent of the earth's atmosphere. (I have a degree in biology if that's counts for anything).

Do you really believe that when you exhale you are contributing to the earth's "destruction"? Remember, plants use CO2 and create oxygen. It's a brilliant set up by God. In fact, most the CO2 that exists isn't even manmade. Not only that, if we had more of it, plants would flourish much more.

Global warming is part of a liberal, world, Communist plot to control how people live, what they drive, and destroy our culture. And, people are being duped into believing it by those with "good intentions".

For those who want to ban Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulbs and replace them with the dangerous mercury filled CFL bulbs: if you want to use them, fine. STOP PREACHING TO EVERYONE ELSE. Plus, the all the mercury will contaminate drinking water supplies nationwide once the mercury seeps into the water via landfills. It was Communist Cuba's corrupt Fidel Castro who started the CFL movement to begin with. Need anything else be said? Nope.

If someone wants to leave his or her lights on all hours of the day, and wants to pay the electric bill, that's HIS OR HER RIGHT. We produce energy for crying out loud--it's renewable.

Global warming proponents need to stop trying to scare everyone with their doom and gloom scare tactics (though I'm sure many of them actually believe what they're saying; some probably believe it just because their favorite politicians say it is happening--not a good reason.).

Answer 6

He's not. Since 2005 Bush has acknowledged that global warming exists and is primarily caused by humans. He doesn't want to do anything about it, but he acknowledges that it exists.

Answer 7

All this hype and it could be a thermometer that was in error. Looking for a 1 deg, F change over 100 years is near nuts.

Answer 8

I love how everyone "thumbs-downed" the one scientist (Thomas) who actually spoke up with true research amongst a bunch of people who form their weak opinions out of narrow mindedness. OK, we get it; you hate George Bush. Now go watch MTV and shut up. There are very real problems out there related to pollution and resource management without asshole celebrities scaring the crap out of the mindless majority with this global warming BS. The climate IS changing people, better adjust; organisms have been adjusting to the rapidly changing climate for hundreds of millions of years. If you honestly believe CO2 from your car/bum is going to kill us all, then stop driving your car, plug up all the hot springs and volcanoes (preferably with Al Gore's huge ego). You want to talk about CO2 emissions? geothermal is the largest producer of them all. Oh, and while you're at it; do us all a favor and plug up your bum too.

Lets see how many thumbs up I get for name-calling, it seems to work out well for everyone else. Oh wait, I didn't bash the President... never mind, thumbs down for me.

Answer 9

there is just as much evidence to disprove global warming as there is proving it. Its funny that when the weather is cooler than normal its just the weather, its unpredictable, but when it may be warmer than normal its global warming and we have to do something about it.

Answer 10

There once was a president, disheveled,
Who everyone thought was the devil.
He refuted Global Warming
Was doing any harming;
But he reads at a Grade 4 level!
