[Vision2020] Global warming approaching critical point

[Tbertruss at aol.com]

Wayne et. al.

This seems to be the attitude of many people, that is even if they recognize 
a real threat: let future generations deal with the destructive effects of 
rapid global warming.

Want to bet on whether Bush's poodle Tony Blair will succeed in getting W. to 
actually do something significant to slow global warming?

I bet Bush just laughs.  After all, he has a "mandate" and lots of "political 
capital." Why do anything to increase regulation of oil and coal industries 
when Bush's mantra of deregulation and the magic of the marketplace can now be 
pushed with even more vigor?  Besides, worrying about global warming is such a 
liberal democrat attitude, unsuitable for a tough Texas oil man.  His oil and 
energy corporate buddies would be calling in the heavy hitting congressional 
lobby armies to fight efforts to reduce the use of oil and coal if the Bush 
administration suddenly went "green."  And remember, evolution is just a theory, 
and so is global warming, so Bush's vast and detailed understanding of 
science and the scientific method (sic) assures a balanced approach to protecting 
the environment while not ruining our economy.  

I feel so secure knowing we have a man of supreme intellect and long term 
foresight (sic), who will fully consider the impact of our present course on 
future generations, guiding the most powerful nation on earth.
