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.”

If Colbert and Strong really want to know why Republicans refuse to play along, it is not because of Bush or Trump or any other Republican or conservative media personality. It is because people like Peter keep demanding drastic measures to prevent apocalyptic doom that never comes to pass.

The Bush’s are easy and safe targets. You can do and say pretty much anything about them and they will remain silent and go to dinner with the Obama’s and Clinton’s. And then follow it up with a healthy Trump bashing for desert.

I thought climate doom was due to Dick Cheney’s hurricane and weather modification machine.

I did not watch the clip, but do we know why they went all the way back to GHW Bush for this?

George H.W. Bush? I blame “Climate Change” on Rutherford B. Hayes. Mainly because everything is always some Republican’s fault, and I like to be different.

“””I thought climate doom was due to Dick Cheney’s hurricane and weather modification machine.”””

I thought it was caused by hair spray. So I quit using hair spray and it still is happening??? We’re screwed.

I have yet to meet a climate change loon who walks or rides a bike instead of drives, does not fly, or does anything other than uttering feel-good mantras that costs them nothing and feeds their sense of good personness.

Impending climate doom? Hmmmmm. The beaches I went to 70 years ago still look the same. Guess I didn’t get the memo.

CO2 is a fertilizer.

Da Erf doesn’t have enough of it in atmospheric circulation.

QED.
