Nature is resilient and tends to be self-correcting.Yes. But.
Nature doesn't have a "preferred state" for either global temperature or sea levels. It can get along fine with oceans washing over the Great Plains, as in previous eras.
It very well might turn out that we have to do some tweaking. But the only tweaking that will actually work will be in the form of active technological intervention, not a socialist shutdown of business, industry and commerce.
As President Bush says, we have to grow the economy to make it strong enough to handle the technological challenges of the future.
Global Warming is a technological challenge. And it will be solved by scientists and engineers. Not by socialist, commies, Democrats or other assorted left wing scum.
Global warming has been a periodic event throughout history. Whether it poses a "challenge" to be "solved" remains to be seen. Warming of the northern zones may be seen as a gift of God before all is said and done.
The putative negative effects of warming, such as inundated shorelines and superstorms, are hypothetical, with huge error factors in the models which predict them, as is the proposition that we human beings have anything to do with it in the frist place.
President Bush is right to counsel patience until we identify with some accuracy what problems, if any, we will have to "solve. If and when that happens, then yes, it will be technology not politics which will serve us best.
