The spokeswoman for President Bush says the United States will continue "to take steps" to deal with global warming, even though a conference in New York assembled hundreds of scientists and experts from Australia, Canada, England, France, Hungary, New Zealand, Poland, Russian, Sweden and the U.S. to warn the "alarmism" over the issue is a greater danger than the natural cycles of heating and cooling on Earth.
"The president's position on climate change is well-known. He's long said that human beings are contributing in some ways to climate change. And that's why we're taking steps to deal with it, and in fact, tomorrow will make a have remarks at the International Renewable Energy Conference, when he talks about that very issue," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
Her response was to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House, who asked:
"President Klaus of the Czech Republic, and John Stossel, the co-anchor of ABC's 20-20, are among 98 speakers at the International Conference on Climate Change, Global Warming: Truth or Swindle, which is now going on in New York City. And my question: Does the president welcome or deplore this gathering of so many scientists who have signed a petition that global warming probably is natural and not a crisis?"

Oh I’m so proud I voted for him!
SELLOUT
i for one will hold my breath for 2 min
i suggest the real die hards hold it longer
Started out strong, finished weak.
“Compassionate conservatism ... “
Im not proud at all and have regretted the fact that we had little choice.
Actually, I (and MANY others) were aware by 04 what a flaming RINO W was, but we held our nose and voted more "against" John "The Snake" Kerry, as opposed to "for" Bush.
Hold on all, because if you think Bush was bad, just wait until we get Bush-Lite: Juan McPain.
Anyone is welcome to do whatever they want in November, however, as far as I'm concerned, I'm staying home.
After 8 years of Jorge, I've had all of the "Compassionate Conservatives," RINO's I can take.
Bush proves he doesn’t understand science.
>”to take steps” to deal with global warming<
uh....sorry....physics make it impossible for the human race to do that!
Gonna be real hard to stop them solar flares.
Love to know how they’re gonna do it.

Bush is a tragedy and 2 justices away from being one of our worst presidents.
He did OK on taxes. Nothing else domestically.
And signed every increased spending bill Congress ever dreamed of.
Global warming is wonderful! Without it, much of the US would be under a couple miles of ice! When this spell of warming is over, that will be the time to mourn. Billions will likely die of starvation. If only we could cause global warming!!
Hi,
I would ask you not to stay home in November. I won’t be settling again, I’ll probably vote third party or write in. More importantly I’ll be supporting any conservative running for any other office. 41 conservative senators can block any socialist legislation or judicial appointments. A conservative governor can display conservative principals in action. Conservative state legislators can legislate conservative laws and display that conservative principals work. Conservatives in these offices can bring the electorate back to their senses for future elections.
Thanx Bill
Now there's a true scientific opinion.
Are McCain, Bush, Gingrich, and other politicians favoring action on global warming ignorant or are they being deceitful? Are they salivating over global taxes and control or do they just not get it yet? How can people with so much power and influence be so out of touch?
i dunno
First on Shamnesty, now on global warming.
It's becoming a habit.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Take steps means like holding the line against bravo sierra.
Is it just me or is Bush TRYING to embarrass everyone that ever voted for him!?!
and the list goes on and on...
“Are McCain, Bush, Gingrich, and other politicians favoring action on global warming ignorant or are they being deceitful?”
The answer is: yes, yes, yes.
I give George Bush a lot of credit for keeping the US from sacrificing its economy on the altar of global warming. In spite of great national and international pressure, he has offered little more than talk and not much of that. He bought us 8 years time.
Imagine what Al Gore would have done by now.
No he didn't. He used to think man-made GW was BS. But the liberals kept calling him stupid for not believing it and "suppressing" scientists who were pushing the BS. So he's now agreeing with leftist howler monkeys on this issue.
That confirms it -
If George Bush is going for it, Global Warming has jumped the shark.
It is a horrible idea for the US, or any nation, to “Take steps” on an issue that is both under evaluated and woefully misunderstood.
The only thing that can come out of this is misguided legislation at the expense of innovation and national (global) quality of life.
First off, if there is human induced warming, is so what? Who are the prognosticators of the perfect climate? Secondly, if we are indeed to blame— of which I doubt nearly completely, and it has taken 50+ years (since our industrial age) to cause this, what makes the great and powerfull leaders think we can reverse this effect without bringing us (and the world) back to an era that is pre- industrial age.
No. This has nothing at all to do with climate, or the suposed woes that come with it, it is mereley another way to impose taxes, regulate and impose a twisted social structure for we serfs to obey.

Thanks, but my "staying home" in November and refusing to vote for McLane, will be merely symbolic.
All one has to do is look at my tagline (and if anyone is familiar with Vermont's political composition it should be obvious) to realize that my vote for anyone (if there were anyone worth voting for) would have as much affect as passing gas in a hurricane.
As it stands today, Ronald Reagan could not carry Vermont against Kucinich.
I did vote for Her Thighness today, hoping to help keep her in the race, but even that didn't work out here in Vermont, as the electorate consider her too "moderate" and went overwhelmingly for the mored radical B.O.
So, on November 2nd, I'll stock up on popcorn, pop a top or 5, and regardless who wins, will end up crying in my beer and feeling sad for America.
I think you’ve forgotten something. He would have to be on our side to be a sellout. He never was. He’s just being true to his nature from day one.
This guy didn’t get it, still doesn’t get it, and never will get it.

You could always undervote (leave President blank while voting for Congresscritters).
Bush has been on balance a good president. Doubt me? Name 2 better presidents than GWB since FDR.
you forget that Bush did not agree to Kyoto treaty and got huge grief for it. The liberals have attacked him for 8 year for being not environmental-wacko enough. do you note his conservative positions there? No.
you’ve absorbed the liberal medias blame-bush mantra. You voted for socialist yesterday, and wont vote against the Dem socialists for global warming regs in November. You sound no different than bush-hating leftists.

Correct.

Conservatives in these offices can bring the electorate back to their senses for future elections.”
This is an important point to make.
Always vote for the more conservative viable candidate, and the political movement will be in the conservative direction.

We are friggin doomed.
“After 8 years of Jorge, I’ve had all of the “Compassionate Conservatives,” RINO’s I can take.”
Yeah, well I hate to tell you, but you are about to get 4 more years at least of it from John McCain. McCain is a global warming believer also and worse than Bush on some things. Just wanted to give you something to look forward to.
“Global warming is wonderful! Without it, much of the US would be under a couple miles of ice!”
See my tagline....
The lunacy of the "price we must pay" knows no bounds.
And it's obvious that any scientific study that disproves
global anything will be met with the ignorance of a theology.
ER, “Theocracy”
“Bush has been on balance a good president. Doubt me? Name 2 better presidents than GWB since FDR.
Why don’t you name one that wasn’t.”
Huh?!?!? You dont think JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Nixon, and Ford were worse?!?!?
I ask again. Name 2 better presidents than GWB since FDR. In your opinion.
I wish I could vote for Vaclav Klaus.
Bush has been devistating to this nation. I would place him around the Jimmy Carter neighborhood. His actions in Kosovo alone merit that. As for his actions with China, Mexico, Russia, abysmal.
Which of these other presidents signed on to an FDR or LBJ level Great Society program?
Which of them allowed something in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 million people to walk across our border, then advocate they be fast tracked to citizenship?
Which of them allowed 70,000 Saudi nationals to enter our nation on student visas after just 19 such people took down the twin Trade Center towers?
Which of them had their solicitor general write a letter to the Supreme Court to support municipal carve outs on the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
You came to the wrong guy to ask this question.
“Bush has been devistating to this nation.”
Yes, he is even responsible for all the bad spelling. LOL.
“Which of these other presidents signed on to an FDR or LBJ level Great Society program?” ALL OF THEM.
Name a President who has called for undoing great society. Only G W Bush has come forward to propose taking a portion of social security and making it a choice program and giving people overnship of what they contribute to social security.
“Which of them allowed something in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 million people to walk across our border, then advocate they be fast tracked to citizenship?” Carter, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton.
LBJ signed the 1965 immigration bill that kicked it all off.
Carter let illegals cross. Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty. GHWB didnt enforce the law. Clinton’s non-enforcement of law and creation of multiple amnesties set us up for total non-enforcement.
“Which of them allowed 70,000 Saudi nationals to enter our nation on student visas after just 19 such people took down the twin Trade Center towers?” All of them since LBJ have been for letting Saudis come in.
“Which of them had their solicitor general write a letter to the Supreme Court to support municipal carve outs on the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” - Clinton’s AG Janet Reno did Waco, Elian G., worked to snuff out 1st amendment rights for prolifers, fast-tracked amnesty etc.
“You came to the wrong guy to ask this question.”
Obviously.
I am cc’ing Southack who has a good list of what Bush has done.
If the only issue you care about is keeping foreigners off American soil, Bush hasnt done a good job but is no worse than others.
If you care about additional important issues, then it is impossible to consider Bush as bad as Carter. It is a laughable concept.
Reagan gave the Saudis weapons in 1981.
Yes, he is even responsible for all the bad spelling. LOL.
Which of these other presidents signed on to an FDR or LBJ level Great Society program?
ALL OF THEM.
That's not true.
Name a President who has called for undoing great society. Only G W Bush has come forward to propose taking a portion of social security and making it a choice program and giving people overnship of what they contribute to social security.
Yes, he made some noise about it and quickly forgot about it. Here you seek to give him credit as if he accomplished anything. Really sad...
Which of them allowed something in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 million people to walk across our border, then advocate they be fast tracked to citizenship?
Carter, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton. LBJ signed the 1965 immigration bill that kicked it all off. Carter let illegals cross. Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty. GHWB didnt enforce the law. Clintons non-enforcement of law and creation of multiple amnesties set us up for total non-enforcement.
Carter, Reagan, GHWB and Clinton each allowed 15 to 20 million illegal aliens to walk across our border on their watch? You don't seriously believe that any more than I do.
As for Carter and Reagan, Reagan signed off on an amnesty plan that saw 3.5 million illegals given citizenship. That's 3.5 million over 21 years. That works out to about 166 thousand per year.

All of them served in the oval office after 09/11? Very interesting. Perhaps that was an unfair question, due to the fact they didn't, but with a known threat to our nation and where it came from, our president decided it was a great idea to clamp down on U.S. Citizens at U.S. airports and not inconvenience foreign nationals from terrorist states as it relates to student visas. Simply amazing...

While interesting, I didn't consider Clinton to be a conservative. Perhaps you did.
You came to the wrong guy to ask this question.
Obviously.
I am ccing Southack who has a good list of what Bush has done.
Yes, I've seen that list full of tripe before. I could shoot down about 85% of it without breaking a sweat.
If the only issue you care about is keeping foreigners off American soil, Bush hasnt done a good job but is no worse than others.
In your fantasies perhaps. Not in the real world.
If you care about additional important issues, then it is impossible to consider Bush as bad as Carter. It is a laughable concept.
To a person who has become convinced Bush is God on earth perhaps.
I haven't fallen under his spell or worshiped him as some of you have.
President Bush has been devistating to this nation.
Right now he's pleased as punch to back John McCain for president. That should tell you all you need to know about the guy.
President Bush has done quite well. He’s cut our income taxes. He’s stopped another 9/11 attack from occurring.
He’s banned partial birth abortion and killed the Kyoto Global Warming nonsense. He’s also pulled the U.S. out of the International Criminal Court and U.S.-CCCP ABM treaty.
Bush has deployed our national missile defenses. We are currently protected by some 450 aggregate Pac-3 terminal stage interceptors and SM-2+SM-3 mid-course interceptors, plus some 30+ ground-based mid-course interceptors.
This year the Air Borne Laser (ABL) will be tested, as well.
President Bush has done well with SCOTUS and federal judge appointments, the Myers near-miss notwithstanding.
I’m also a fan of his No Child Left Behind law that has shut down so many failing schools.
And certainly the people of Iraq and Afghanistan are freer today because of him, as are we...Al Qaeda is on the run instead of being free to attack us here at home.
Frankly, your pent-up anger would be better directed at Democrats who are stalling President Bush’s wiretap immunity for our phone companies, and who right now are trying to force the Boy Scouts to either disband or permit homosexual scoutmasters.
Bush may have faults, but you are spending your energy attacking his 20% failings instead of the Dems’ 80%.
