Michael Wells Mandeville didn't get the memo. Earthquakes, volcanism, El Nino, and global warming are all President Bush's fault.
Obviously Bush's fault.
Any word on the wobbles of the other five "Friends"?
This kook is a moron on about 500 different levels.
1) There's no increase in global volcanism.
2) He's basically "cooked the books" on all of his graphs; they're all garbage.
3) Increased volcanism COOLS the earth, not warms it.
Is that like Teddy's wobble?
And Chandler's Wobble is all Bush's fault, right?

The greatest mass extinction in the 3.5-billion-year history of life on Earth probably occurred as a result of climate change resulting from a series of huge volcanic eruptions, researchers believe.
They said a study of "the great dying", when 90 per cent of marine life became extinct and three-quarters of land animals and plants died out, had failed to support earlier suggestions of the Earth and a giant asteroid colliding.
Previous studies have suggested that a sudden catastrophic change in the global climate resulted from an asteroid collision 250 million years ago, when the greatest of five mass extinctions took place. But scientists investigating volcanic ash sediments in South Africa and China - fallout from the same volcanic eruptions in Siberia - believe that a relatively slow rate of extinction occurred over millions of years.
Peter Ward of the University of Washington, a leader of the joint American-South African research team, said the volcanoes probably triggered the release of massive quantities of greenhouse gases which led to catastrophic climate change. "Animals and plants both on land and in the sea were dying at the same time, and apparently from the same causes - too much heat and too little oxygen," he said.
His findings are published in the online version of Science.

Earth throws a wobblyThe Chandler Wobble, a mysterious wobble that shakes the Earth as it spins on its axis, was first detected in 1891 by an American astronomer called Seth Carlo Chandler. The force of the wobble is such that it is capable of moving the North Pole about six metres (20 feet) from where it should be and lasts around 433 days, or just 1.2 years. Scientists originally calculated that this phenomenon should naturally run out of steam after 68 years unless some force keeps activating it. And this is precisely what appears to happen. NASA's Richard Gross says the principle causes of the wobble are fluctuating pressures on the bottom of the oceans, the result of changes in temperature, salinity and wind patterns. Dr Michael Tsimplis, from the Southampton Oceanography Centre, UK, says that the Gross theory is plausible. "Any stress you apply to the surface of the Earth can affect its axis," he said.
