U-TURN: BUSH ADMIN OUTLINES 'GLOBAL WARMING' EFFECTS ON AMERICA; ACKNOWLEDGES 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.
The United States will be substantially changed in the next few decades, claims the Bush report. The United States will "very likely" be seeing the "disruption of snow-fed water supplies, more stifling heat waves and the permanent disappearance of Rocky Mountain meadows and coastal marshes."

I say....
Rush thinks Bush is just doing this so that liberals won't have an issue to attack him on. Takes away the globull warming BS issue from Democrats if Bush goes along with them on it.... But it isn't any hotter here in Los Angeles than it was when we lived here in 1988-1990 and again in 1997. Same ole weather patterns we enjoyed back then are here today.
Plus they say it is hotter everywhere. I went to a website that claimed it is hotter all over Texas now that it was in 1945-46 and up through 1994. BS !!! It was hotter in 1980 and 1981 than it is in Lake Jackson, Texas (our other home) now! I remember 1980 cause I was in Europe month of May and came back to HOT spell from hell. Had first son, Gary in 1981 and I still remember how hot it was that summer.
One summer after we moved to Lake Jackson from Clute, Texas I remember it was so hot I hung curtains and sheets and room darkening shades on the windows to keep the heat out. I hung a towel over the front door window to keep the heat out. That was when Gary was in 6 grade. It has NEVER gotten that hot again in Lake Jackson.
But the stooopid sheeples just believe what ever the 'experts' tell them. sheeee-it. Gullible sheeples believe globull warming BS. I go check my thermometer in my backyard and the OFFICIAL temp that is reported for my town is often a lot higher than the reading on my own thermometer. I remember a couple of summers ago it was really cool all summer. The next summer it was hot in afternoon, but dry. The next summer it was normal again. We had floods in LJ in 1976, 1979, and again in early 1990s. Just cycles of climate and weather and moisture IMHO.
I believe it is all just natural cycles and man is arrogant to believe he is changing the climate of the world. Plus if the world heats up, or a species dies off, perhaps that is God's plan!!! Like when he changed the climate and killed the dinosaurs. And what caused the dust bowl of the 1930????? Not Man!
It's not only annoying, it's boring. Please, Freepers, don't flame me as someone who won't countenance criticism of "our" president.
Of course I strongly believe Bush should be criticized whenever it's appropriate. However, Rush lately has launched out at the administration on tangents that simply are not well-founded; moreover, Rush has lost whatever skill he had at understanding the political zeitgeist and the political context.
I've had it with his show for now. He never has anything uplifting to say, just whining all the time. He is making O'Reilly look like the Sunshine Man.
To add one more thing, I'd say that Rush, since his hearing problem, has become extremely one-dimensional in his thinking. His analogies are continually flawed, he can't see the forest for the trees, and he overreacts to everything Bush does that he disagrees with. I tune him in rarely and am disappointed every time I do.
You said it more succinctly and effectively than I did.
