Is President Bush likely to see Al Gore's documentary about global warming?
"Doubt it," Bush said coolly Monday.
Bush has had bitter disagreements with Gore about the environment and other issues. Bush defeated Gore, then the Democratic vice president, in a disputed presidential election that was finally settled by the Supreme Court in 2000.
Gore's documentary chronicles his efforts to bring greater attention to the dangers of climate change.
"New technologies will change how we live and how we drive our cars which all will have the beneficial effect of improving the environment," Bush said. "And in my judgment we need to set aside whether or not greenhouse gases have been caused by mankind or because of natural effects and focus on the technologies that will enable us to live better lives and at the same time protect the enviroment."
Gore's movie debuted at last winter's Sundance Film Festival and opens in U.S. theaters Wednesday.
Speaking Saturday in France at the Cannes Film Festival about global warming, Gore said, "I even believe there is a chance that within the next two years, even (President) Bush and (Vice President) Dick Cheney will be forced to change their position on this crisis," he said. "One can only attempt to create one's own reality for so long. Reality proper has a way of insisting itself upon you."
If Bush and not Gore had spoken this "sentence" it would be soon marketed in a book entitled Bushisms and giggled at jubilantly by Democrats throughout the Whole Foods archipelago.
nice...
You couldn't be more wrong, noob. The strength of the Red States is directly driven from our industrial-strength 24/7 BS detector. Not even the MSM can cock up a Global Swarming poll to their own satisfaction!
"But far fewer, 38 percent, call it an urgent problem that requires immediate government action...24 percent call for prompt action, while seven in 10 instead say more study is needed first...Indeed, just 23 percent are "completely" convinced that global warming has begun." -- ABC News/Washington Post poll"A modest majority 54 percent said the bad storm season is just one of those things "that happen from time to time," -- yet another Washington Post-ABC News poll
"A recent Gallup Poll that asked respondents to rank 10 environmental problems -- global warming ranked 2nd from the bottom, bested -- or worsted - only by acid rain." -- ShopFloor.org
PRESIDENT SLAMS FORMER VICE-PRESIDENT GORE'S MOVIE
"I even believe there is a chance that within the next two years, even (President) Bush and (Vice President) Dick Cheney will be forced to change their position on this crisis,"
And I'll bet that in 30 years, some other clown will be spewing exactly the same nonsense as you are spewing now, Al.
From what I've read about it, it's a movie about Al Gore.
Some of these reports say he has been giving this spiel for 30 years. Was it originally received from the Rrotherhood in a seance parlor, before any scientific investigation?
I'm going out on a limb and say 2,189 of Gore's nearest and dearest will be invited to a viewing party and be forced to watch it.
Count me as one of the watchers. I always like a good comedy.
