Colbert, Strong Blame George H.W. Bush For Impending Climate Doom
NewsBusters ^ | 26 Sep 2025 | Alex Christy

No Republican is safe from CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s wrath, not even former President and quintessential moderate George H.W. Bush. According to Colbert and actor Jeremy Strong on Thursday, “we risk losing essentially everything” to climate change, and it is Bush’s fault.

Colbert teed up Strong, “You have a documentary about our burning world.”

An appreciative Strong took the opportunity to promote the project, “Yeah, I executive produced an incredible documentary called The White House Effect that is coming out on Netflix at the end of next month. It’s coming out on Netflix on October 31, and thank you for giving me a chance to talk about it. You know, I really think it's, like, mandatory viewing for anyone who cares about our planet, and… the film is a kind of origin story of the climate crisis and how we got into the, kind of, political quagmire that we are in now that has prevented any real action.”

That led Colbert to play a clip from the documentary that featured an interview with Bush’s EPA administrator, William Reilly, who declared, “The advantage we might have had if President Bush had committed to seriously undertake the reduction of greenhouse gases is that we might have removed the partisan nature and the dialogue of the United States. A Republican president, after all, that would have made some difference, and I regret that we weren't able finally to do that.”

“Are these 2 scientists? Didn’t think so.”

Even if they were scientists, that doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about or that they are being honest. All those climate “scientists” are only interested in the grants they get by professing the climate orthodoxy.

The central word is “beachfront”. When Osama Obama sells his two beachfront places and buys something in Colorado I'll know that climate change is real.

Yes, you gotta hand it to the Bushes. They managed to alienate the Left and the Right.

Imagine believing your own lie so completely that it scares you to think about it.

According to bonnie prince Charles, Algore, the Kenyan commie, Greta Dumbnerd, Newscum, Pocahontas, and every climate think tank and college science department on the planet, we should’ve been under water and/or extinct at least 5 years ago

There is no climate doom.
There will be economic doom if we do everything the Greens want us to do.

” It is because people like Peter keep demanding drastic measures to prevent apocalyptic doom that never comes to pass.”

I’m reminded of about what Troutman said in Rambo, “God didn’t create Rambo, I did.” Bush didn’t create nature and it’s changes, God did. And long before Bush was alive. You got the guts, blame God?

Was that documentary produced by the same people who produced This Is Spinal Tap?

A Danish expert on “The Journal Editorial Report” today on Fox pointed out that 87% of the emissions which are blamed for causing climate change come from China, India, or Africa, and only 13% from Europe or North America, so anything the developed countries do will have very little effect. Europe has unrealistic goals which will have to be revised because they can’t be met.

Yes, Bush is why the world ended years ago and those of us who are still around just haven’t gotten the message yet.

If your neighbors aren’t zombies already you may be one yourself.
