Bush said once, there was no such thing as global warming. I wonder what he has to say now? or is he just ready to admit that he just has sinister motives for not wanting to recognize the crisis?
Is this yet another bushism proven false?.

Actually Bush has admitted that man made global warming is real and used the recent APEC conference to discuss action.
So now the extremists covering thier ears while screaming "it isn't true" are even more marginalized.
Bryan why do you think repeating the same old lie over and over again will prevent it from being a lie?
It is well known that Al Gore's house does use more electricity that most. This is hardly a stunning revelation. It is also well known that he offsets this use with carbon credits giving a neutral carbon footprint - all he is advocating that others do. There is no inconsistency here no matter how hard you and other right wingers aim to invent one (even most of the articles attacking him for this begrudgingly make a quick mention of this but then ignore it in thier conclusion and condemnation).
Since you have not bothered (or more likely are unable) to provide a source for your other data about CO2 it will ignored as it should. WHen you can produce some evidence I will gladly respond.

ok dude BRYAN, why don't you take a close look at these two graphs posted below. global temperature and CO2 emissions run hand and hand, at least they did until the start of the Industrial Revolution. the part you should concentrate on the hardest is that little bit called the "Present" where CO2 emissions are way higher than they ever have. also know this, the ONLY ones in the world who refuse to acknowledge a global change is AMERICANS (and i am an American, but i recognize that there is a global problem). also did you know that a lot of maps are having to be redrawn because the snow has melted so much that it's changing the land scape. bout the only time there has been a change in map drawing this extreme was when the America's were found. also The US was one of the few not to sign on the Kyoto convention along with Iraq, and a few other really small countries.

God won't once more break this global with a flood, that is precise. Global warming? Yes. Man made? Not! If you took the entire 'inexperienced condominium gasses' within the surroundings and known as that one hundred% after which took out the three% that may be immediately attributed to guy and the four% that's not directly resulting from guy that might nonetheless depart you with ninety three% that's typical of which we don't have any manipulate over whatever! The CO2 that's meant to be within the surroundings at or round 10,000 feet. can't be determined. Why? seeing that it's heaver than air! All of that carbon is meant to be there however but it can't be determined. So wherein is it going? Back into the oceans wherein so much of it comes from to start with. And it was once now not Christianity that burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned persons, it was once the Pagans and the Catholics! Neither of which can be the least bit Christian!

Actually to be fair, Bush has admitted since 2005 that humans are causing global warming.
Just a couple days ago, Bush's science advisor said there's over 90% certainty about this.
So yes, Bush's denial has been proven wrong, but for once he actually admitted it himself!

The environment cares nothing of what George Bush thinks. And I use the word 'thinks' in connection with George Bush very loosely.
The article hosted on the front page of Yahoo news about the opening of the Northern Passage would make any sane person realize that things have changed, and not for the better.
But leave it to George. He'll wait for the ice over the Arctic to freeze so he can fight on it.

OK, here are some FACTS (feel free to check them)
1. Bush's ranch in Crawford TX IS and HAS been completely energy efficient. During his time as Governor, he made sweeping efforts that resulted in windfarms and other energy efficiency projects that created a situation where hundreds of thousands of people in TX get their power through clean methods.
2. Al Gore's mansion in TN is NOT energy efficient, has AC running and pools heated when no one is home, and the man flies around in private jets speaking to crowds about buying carbon offsets from a company he's on the board for.
3. Scientists have not proven that man has any influence on the Global Warming at all and estimates they do have put our contribution at less than 2% of all Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. I hardly think that's killing the planet. Other 98% likely has something to do with it, IF the warming has anything at all to do with CO2!
Now... seems to me the man who SHOULD be environmentally conscious if his claims are true is creating more of a "carbon footprint" than any of US are (while he tells us not to drive OUR SUVs) and the man you love to vilify has made a lot of headway in environmentalism that you refuse to recognize. I wonder if this is because you're so hell bent on blaming him for everything that you have not checked the facts yourself?
