42. LIBERAL ECO-WACKOS LAUD BUSH.

We already know that the historical temperature readings do NOT show global warming in the long run, and temperature changes are normal in the short run. No matter how many times the liberals make the same wild, irresponsible, unscientific claims, they are refuted by the same facts. There was more warming in the first 50 years of the 20th century than in the last 50, where fluorocarbons were in use. See http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_141.shtml and http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_464.shtml

Moreover, ozone holes simply mean there are no dangerous UV rays in the area. The *oxygen* breaks down the UV rays and the oxygen creates ozone in that process. That's why the alleged holes occur over the poles, which don't get much direct sunlight. More yet, an increase in CO2 (the "greenhouse effect") would be a good thing long before it was detrimental.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration admits that the Kyoto agenda would cost the U.S. $400 billion a year to possibly lower the temperature 0.07 degrees C, spread over the next 50 years (then the earth will probably spew a volcano to correct the fluctuation)! Yet, we're implementing much of it anyway.

The environmental panic scenarios (it was global cooling and a new ice age scare in the 1970's) are simply methods to frighten and control people. Yet the GOP is bragging on President Bush for taking the liberal position!

Group Applauds Bush, G8 on 'Global Warming'

By Monisha Bansal CNSNews.com Correspondent August 3, 2005

(CNSNews.com) -- He may be disdainful of the Kyoto global warming treaty, but President Bush is nevertheless a "force to be reckoned with" when it comes to plotting the best way to cut the production of greenhouse gases, according to conservative climate change experts assembled by a Washington, D.C. think tank on Tuesday.

Last month's meeting among the leaders of the world's industrialized democracies proved that point, said Roger Bate, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. "The G8 brought climate change discussions closer to current U.S. policy than European policy," Bate noted.

"The Bush administration already acknowledged as much about global warming in the past as the G8 did here," Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, added, pointing out the similarities between the president's policy briefing book from 2002 and the language in the Glenagles Communique on Climate Change, Energy and Sustainable Development, which the G8 leaders signed at their summit in Scotland in early July.

Lewis highlighted the following text of the Communique: "We know enough to act now to put ourselves on a path to slow, and as the science justifies, stop and reverse the growth of greenhouse gases." The text, he said, is almost identical to that of Bush's "Global Climate Change Policy Book," from February 2002.
