As predicted, nothing will be enough, so why give in? The RINOS pander to the left and the Mindless Middle.

In the meantime, envirowacko policies are destroying our economy.

Good. Now hopefully Bush will wake the f#$k up, realize that the left will hate him no matter what he does, and act like a conservative for what remains of his term.

Noticed the website describes itself as “The Consumer’s Guide to the Green Revolution.”

Unfortunately, he hasn’t realized it for the past 7 1/2 years.

It’s a shame.

Bush Announces Greenhouse Gas Strategy — Surprise! It’s Bad.

I have a good idea.......

Lets have all our farmers start growing corn for gas. The world don’t need no stinkin grain. We have sushi!

[Zathras]

Pandering buys you nothing.

[Maceman]

Funny, I see it as too much, too soon.

[Argus]

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said the plan was "too little, too late."

Just before he hopped aboard the Archer Daniels Midland corporate jet to fly to LA for a quick fundraiser at David Geffen's forty-thousand square foot Malibu beach shack.

Lets have all our farmers start growing corn for gas. The world don’t need no stinkin grain. We have sushi!

If Obama's elected, all of the corn fields will be converted to arugula.

I am looking for the day when BDS is listed in the medical journals and accepted by the medical establishment as a legitamate mental disorder.

But top Democrats charged with writing global warming legislation say waiting until 2025 means allowing 17 more years of damaging growth of greenhouse gas emissions.

By the time 2025 rolls around, we'll be in another mini ice-age.

Interesting how the Dems are bloviating about the delay, yet are doing nothing as Medicare will start going bankrupt in about 10 years.

Now hopefully Bush will wake the f#$k up, realize that the left will hate him no matter what he does, and act like a conservative for what remains of his term.

ROLFLMAO

Congatulations! Nobel winners Al Gore and his IPCC pack's prophesy of Global Warming food riots and famine have become reality!

Unfortuately, the food riots and unrest emanate from fighting Global Warming not any actual Global Warming! The unintended consequences of Democrat Policies are unsurprising:

• Force the ecomomy to use corn for fuel
• Increased demand for corn raises the price of corn.
• Increased food prices means somebody doesn't eat or eats less.
• The poorest people of the world suffer the most.
• Poor people get angry, agitate, and riot.
• Democrats claim innocence of purpose and blame others.
• Ignoring the consequence of a policy that starves people is evil.
• The situation will spiral down if the Global Warming agenda is followed to its conclusion.

We will soon have no more incandescent bulbs to “save the planet.” The green light-bulb is subsidized and requires more glass, an igniter/electronics, as well as plastic base. Furthermore the bulb contains traces of mercury. But they do use a little less power!

This green thing has gotten way out of control and into the realm of stupid. Policy today is driven by people that are more like activists than rational leaders looking at feasible and reasonable solutions to real problems. These buffoons chase ghosts and have fictional answers to made up problems. But yes, you are right, there is a real tangible cost associated with this stupidity. Every subsidy builds in a market inefficiency. Every one of these laws and programs costs money that could be used elsewhere but is obviously best spent on accomplishing nothing. There is a cumulative effect, and eventually green subsidized power, light-bulbs, paper recycling, etc etc etc will add up and seriously burden us even though indirectly and largely unnoticed by the average consumer. Like paper recycling and many other nonsense "feel good" programs advocated by politicians, almost always nothing for the environment is accomplished. Environmentalism today is like buying a pet rock, can of fresh air, or a stiffened dog leash with the sales pitch that you're walking an invisible dog. They are essentially marketing ploys that sell a nifty little gimmick, but it's neither science nor economics that's driving this in near all cases. The sales pitch is always the same and fallacious, "appeal to emotion."

Bush bends over on ANWR, and carries Al Gore’s water. Some “conservative”.

[RdhseRat]

To little, to late??

TO MUCH, TO SOON!!!!

[steelyourfaith]

Meanwhile the environment remains in constant natural change oblivious to mankind and the left prattles on ... agitating to grow government at the expense of freedom and progress.

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

"After seven years of denying the seriousness of the climate crisis and delaying tough action to save the planet, President Bush finally will discuss the subject," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said. "With just nine months left in his term, the White House has already made clear that the President’s announcement today will not reverse his record on global warming before he leaves office."

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said the plan was "too little, too late."

You know, people can have all the money and material possessions in the world, but still be total morons. Climate change is caused by the Sun; it has nothing to do with greenhouse gases. It is very sad to see both sides of the aisle arguing which side is more stupid!

That a boy jorge, keep reaching across the aisle if you pull that bloody stump back enough maybe you'll learn someday
