I realize that this will not make any difference to you since you have your mind made up but some of those that are not members of the lynch mob yet may just hold off on this issue, I will admit that what Ari attributed to the president does not sound right, because it is not. Bush has always conceded that Co2 emissions had increased since the start of the industrial revolution and that the main cause of the increase was man made. Even the scientists that question Global Warming agree with that. However, Co2 is only ONE in the hundreds of so-called "green house gasses" that are combined to produce "global warming. The context is completely out of whack when Bush's statement on a single component is twisted to mean that he is talking about the human contribution to the meta subject of "Global Warming". The bottom line however; is that the EPA report stated emphatically that the United States was not going to do actual harm to our national economy to solve a "problem" that has not been definitively established.
Let's see the industrial revolution started sometime before the mid-to-late 1970s. Yet, back when I was in junior high, I was told by one of my teachers that the earth was cooling and headed back to another ice age. I don't buy the idea the human activity has anything to do with global warming. In fact, I don't even buy the whole idea since there is plenty of evidence global warming isn't occurring.
Regardless, it was another flip-flop by Bush, one of almost a dozen. The whole episode was Clintonesque. Bush -- in a political sense -- is no different than Clinton. Stealing your opponent's ideas and sell out the core beliefs that were campaigned on.
