The example that the President cited in your quote above was of our efforts to **reduce** some pollution that actually increased global warming.

Doesn't alter the larger point Bush was making, which is that human activity, according to him, was contributing to the alleged problem of climate change. How else would a "clever" person interpret this part?:

The policy challenge is to act in a serious and sensible way, given the limits of our knowledge. While scientific uncertainties remain, we can begin now to address the factors that contribute to climate change.

There are only two ways to stabilize concentration of greenhouse gases. One is to avoid emitting them in the first place; the other is to try to capture them after they're created. And there are problems with both approaches. We're making great progress through technology, but have not yet developed cost-effective ways to capture carbon emissions at their source; although there is some promising work that is being done.

You'll see that the President uses words such as "uncertainties" and "limits" to indicate that this is not settled science.

In contrast, you claimed that he was proselytizing the Left's view that human activity **does** cause global warming.
