U-TURN: BUSH ADMIN OUTLINES 'GLOBAL WARMING' EFFECTS ON AMERICA; ACKNOWLEDGES DAMAGE
Drudge Report ^ | 06/02/2002 | By Drudge

DAMAGE

In a stunning U-turn for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing "specific and far-reaching effects" that it says "global warming will inflict" on the American environment.

Also for the first time -- the White House places "most of the blame for recent global warming on human actions -- mainly the burning of fossil fuels that send heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere," the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Monday Page Ones, according to publishing sources.

If this is true, and it probably is, Bush can kiss my vote good-bye. If we compromise with the globalists and liberals we might as well elect one of them and let him tax the rich and give money to poor like me. If both parties want to take away our freedom I'd at least like to get some on of money. I think I'll just declare myself a minority (confederate-American) and wait on the money to pour in. Why is compassionate conservatism only compassionate toward liberal interest groups?

The acorn (Dubya) didn't fall too far from the tree (H.W.) did it?

I think it may have rolled down the hill a bit. I'm wondering how Jeb managed to roll uphill just a bit.

So true, Drudge always drudges something up on Sunday nite right before his show.

This snippet really says nothing. I trust neither the NY Times or Drudge any more, they both hate Bush.

There are so many people on this thread who seem anxious to believe the worst of Bush. I wish they would at least wait until the facts are in.

That report was part of a "gee, what could the USAF do if we could have an unlimited budget and didn't need to bother getting permission from Congress" type study. The whole report proposed some amazingly eye-popping things...that will never get built.

Bush seems to be swinging massively to the left.

It must be part of the "secret plan" to defeat the democrats forever.

If this report bears out, this is a really stupid decision.

Dan Quayle knew better.

I will wait for the facts. But if they are as stated, Bush will be merely a differently-spelled Gore.

This will be the third or fourth time that the Clinton holdovers and the AFSCME drones in the bureaucracy have slipped one out the door in an effort to embarrass the Administration.

I think it's time for Bush to stop being a nice guy on this subject, or it will continue. There is a whole layer of management that serves at the pleasure of the President, and if I were Bush, I would be most displeasured by this.... to the point that thirty or forty people at EPA would lose their jobs, starting with Ms. Whitman.

Maybe the next time some under-assistant deputy secretary sees one of these things churning toward the door, something will be done about it. This is getting real old.

The move puts a substantial distance between the administration and the energy industry and automakers. Someone is looking more and more guilty all the time. What is Bush hiding. The libs will nail him anyway so he might as well not sell his soul to the devil.

Very bad news if true. I hope this is just RAT media garbage, since it virtually hands the Presidency to the RATS if true.

OUTSTANDING angle! Never thought of that!

This could simply be some Clinton holdovers playing political brinksmanship.

This looks remarkably like that WTO hack-job on Friday - anti-globalists got into their site and had them passing out free money to peasants in the field, etc.

Think about this one a minute - a major Bush "turnaround" released over the weekend for discussion ALL WEEK LONG!

That's not likely. Besides, Bush has been out giving all kinds of speeches saying our major focus is to attack the terrorists. Why would he want to distract from that message?

You may pick your leg up at the checkout after 10 PM.
