Worst winter where? Analyzing global warming requires looking at the globe rather than micro climates. Australia is experiencing its highest temperatures and worst droughts on record. Huge Arctic ice shelves (the size of Rhode Island) are breaking off and melting. Global warming (a scientific fact) will result in climate change meaning that some areas will become warmer, colder, wetter, drier, etc. These significant changes will result in large scale food shortages, as well as economic and population displacement. Look at the current rice problem due to climate change. Prices have skyrocketed for the world’s most basic food substance because of climate induced shortages. Bush is finally waking up to reality.
bush isn’t preparing anything substinative. he doesn’t have any specifics to the plan, just that we need to cap greenhouse gases by 2025. this speech is a publicity stunt to make people think that he’s actually doing something about a very important issue. its another attempt by bush to salvage his legacy.
Wake up to reality? It is you that needs to wake up to reality.
“Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it,” Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film “An Inconvenient Truth”, showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2. With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: “Gore’s circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.”
No substance. Not surprising. That is Bush’s MO when it comes to these sort of important issues. Cap by 2025? Too little too late. Smoke (no pun intended) and mirrors propaganda.
