has george bush caused global warming?

Question

is george bush causing any sort of climate impact?

Answer 1

dana1981 tells one of the global warming fanatics most popular lies in his answer..."George Bush refused to sign the Kyoto protocol."

I suspect that dana1981 and trevor (who endorses dana's answer) know that this is a lie, but they refuse to let a little thing like the truth get in the way of their agenda.

The fact is the George Bush never had an opportunity to sign the Kyoto protocol, because the United States had already signed the protocol two years before he even became president. The Kyoto protocol was drafted in 1997 when Bill Clinton (not George Bush) was president of the U.S. The U.S. became a signatory to the protocol on November 12th, 1998 when Bill Clinton (not George Bush) was president of the U.S. This gave the Clinton administration more than 2 years and 2 months to send the protocol the the Senate for ratification. However, since the senate had already unanimously passed a resolution sponsored by Democrat senator Robert Byrd that the US should not ratify any treaty on climate change that would cause economic harm to the US or would allow developing nations not to follow the same standard is developed nations, the Clinton administration NEVER made any attempt in those 26 months to get the protocol ratified by the senate.

As the protocol had already been signed by the US in November of 1998, George Bush had NO chance to sign it. Therefore he could not have refused to sign it as dana1981 suggested.

Of course John Walkup tells a pretty big whopper himself. I don't know where he got his information that global temperature has shotup since George Bush has been president, but 1998 is the "warmest year on record." And who was president in 1998 - that's right, Bill Clinton. Of course, we are now finding out that NASA's data for temperatures in the US was skewed and that 1934 was warmer than 1998, but that also doesn't fit into the global warming fanatics agenda, so they will just ignore the truth. The truth is that five of the ten warmest years in the US were before World War II.

Answer 2

Whoaaa... i'm no fan of George W., yet i think of you're giving him somewhat too lots credit. Plotting to commit a hate crime against African human beings in Louisiana with the aid of a typhoon? it somewhat is somewhat far-fetched. to not point out pointless on the grounds that a great sort of factors that have been given destroyed with the aid of Katrina had already been hit incredibly problematical economically. Plus not all and sundry bothered by Katrina grew to become into black. the detest crime got here in while he did not raise a finger to help the survivors. additionally, worldwide warming began way before Bush took workplace. He purely did genuinely not something to help stop it, and it took him waaay too long to even admit it existed--i'm specific in part because of the fact he grew to become into questioning approximately salary fairly of, you comprehend, having a planet in some years. i'm with you that he could have exceeded some law approximately gasoline intake and option fuels, yet we would desire to spend all day speaking approximately what he coulda/shoulda executed at the same time as in workplace. And for those of you who think of chilly snaps are evidence that there is not any worldwide warming, climate replace has little or no to do with daily climate varieties. worldwide warming is on a lots wider scale and if the priority isn't halted in its tracks, we are all going to start to work out lots extra erratic climate as time is going on. it is going to be evidence sufficient that at the same time as the polar ice caps are nevertheless chilly, the glaciers are melting each of an identical.

Answer 3

Bush's climate impact has been huge because of his refusal to address global warming. In 2005 he actually admitted that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming, and yet he still refuses to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

First he refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol. Most recently at the G8 summit the other leaders wanted to agree to a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from their countries by 2050, but Bush undermined their efforts and basically turned it into "we'll try" instead of "we'll do it", so there's no accountability.

His administration has also tampered with scientific reports to try and make it sound like global warming was less of a problem than it really is, but they got caught.

So basically it's his inaction rather than his actions that is having the biggest climate impact.

Answer 4

for those who believe Bush "refused to sign the Koyoto Protocol"

it never got to him.

It was rejected by the US Senate 92-4.

include Clinton and Edwards and Kennedy in the 92.........

Answer 5

The main thing you can say about Bush is that the rate of increase in both CO2 production and Global temperature became markedly steeper when he took office, especially after 2004. When you have as many people on the take as he does in his Administration, environmental concerns don't stand a chance.

Answer 6

Less than Al Gore and his efforts.
Consider the carbon footprint of his house.
The trash and waste of the "Live Earth Concert".
Oh I forgot Al has a company all you have to do is buy carbon credits and all is forgiven.

Meanwhile Bush has a greener home than Al.

Answer 7

President Bush contributes to it, but obviously isn't the sole cause of it. From what I know though, he actually lives a relatively green lifestyle for a politician (which isn't saying much, but still).

Answer 8

The industrialisation and urbanisation of the western world is the main thing that started it, and now the industrialisation of the east is just making it worse, but true enough geogre bush doesnt do enough.

Answer 9

His actions do not help at all. He has been against anything that would mean the United States has to be responsible. He does not want anything that causes business to put out money for this.

Answer 10

Less than Al Gore, if you want to go there. Bush actually lives a pretty green lifestyle for a major politician. As for his leadership...well...
