President George W. Bush yesterday acknowledged more openly than in the past the role of human activity in causing global warming, as he travelled to Scotland for the summit of the Group of Eight industrialised nations.
"I recognise the surface of the earth is warmer and that an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem," he said during a visit to Denmark en route to Gleneagles.

Find a better man to write about 'cos George W Bush is stupid and doesn't quite know what he's talking about. I bet he doesn't know the real meaning of global warming.

no, he doesn't, he thinks liberals have made it up and when the whitehouse is covered in about 30 feet of water he will say "We still don't know for sure if there is global warming or it's a fluke in warming and cooling trends"
"glub, glub, glub"
the real reason behind conservatives not accepting the theory is once you say it's true, then you have to do something about it and the conservatives feel what happens is the initial stages of world government and socialism. We can have 900 miles of habitable land and they will still not accept this theory

I do not. There is no evidence that the small temperature fluctuations are man made. There is only "consensus" in the scientific community.
Translation: a group of people have given their political opinion. Not that they do not have a right to their opinion, but it is merely an opinion. It carries no more weight then if the Carnival Workers Union came to a "consensus" on global warming.
Consensus is NOT science.
I do not know if Bush believes the global warming hype but he seems unwilling to socialize the economy to prevent it.

Some of the scientists, I believe, haven’t they been changing their opinion a little bit on global warming? There’s a lot of differing opinions and before we react I think it’s best to have the full accounting, full understanding of what’s taking place.

global warming has some validity to it but is no where near the catastrophic level al gore attempts to portray to back his tarnished image. i agree with the other response. george bush is taking a cautious and correct approach waiting for the facts to come in.

Bush believes only what Cheney tells him to believe, and you can quote me on that.

I don't know if he does or not but compare his house in Texas to Al Gore's house in Tennessee and then tell me who is doing more to protect the environment.
