Bush Administration Links Extreme Weather to Global Warming (BARF Alert)

Droughts, heavy rain, heat waves, wildfires and intense hurricanes are more likely to affect North America because of global warming's effect on extreme weather, the Bush Administration's Climate Change Science Program said Thursday.

There's high confidence that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events has already been influenced by global warming, and even greater confidence that more expensive, damaging and deadly weather is to come as temperatures continue to rise. The risk is tied directly to human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels.

The findings are familiar, but the report is the most specific and comprehensive to address how climate change affects weather in North America, and it may be the Bush Administration's most clear acknowledgments of the dangers of climate change to date. The report's release coincides with President Bush's visit to the flood-ravaged Mississippi Valley, where thousands of lives have been upended, enough crops have been ruined to drive up world food prices, and the cost to repair damage will run into the billions.

Here we go again Ping!

Didn’t scientists recently debunk the supposed link between “GW” and more intense hurricanes?

I’m still not sure why the Dems hate Bush so much. Other than “the war”, he’s practically one of them.

[milwguy]

what hurricanes?? No hurricanes yet this season. Our gov’t is so behind the curve, it is scary.

maybe global warming but not MAN made global warming!

[Signalman]

This is not Bush spouting this nonsense, it’s a dopey commission within the Executive Branch.

[mnehring]

Just for clarification, President Bush didn’ say this, some enviroweenies in the Climate Change Science Program did. The Climate Change Science Program is actually a subset of he Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Council on Environmental Quality, the National Economic Council and the Office of Management and Budget. The original purpose of this office was not to prove climate change, it was simply to ensure that the aforementioned federal agencies communicate with each other. They've since pretty much ran away from their original purpose. They don't speak for the President any longer, they speak for themselves.

Well, I guess you didn’t believe in Algore’s Global Warming then you couldn’t get a job with Climate Change Science Program!

These types of comments are extremely destructive.  Folks, we have got to quit putting RINOs in to represent our side.  It's a losing proposition.

Since 1968, we have occupied the Oval office 28  of the 40 years.

We have appointed 7 of the 9 current Supreme Court Justices.

Now we're scraping the bottom of the bottom of the barrel, and still folks don't seem to get it.  This nation is being stolen from us by our own leaders.

When it comes to RINOs, STOP IT!  Quite voting these rat bastards in.

You're absolutely right!

I posts these stories strickly for entertainment purposes!

[DoughtyOne]

Isn’t Bush the head of the Executive branch of our government?

Why yes he is. Then why does the idiot that made this public statement still have a job?

[Southerngl]

And I link the dinosaur wipeout to the Ice Age, what’s yer point?

Dude, that’s SO a month ago. Global warming is a moving target of blame.

[PROCON]

what’s yer point?

The audacity of liberalism! :-)

Sort of like the "high confidence" a similar collection of @sshats had that the 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons would produce more intense hurricanes, and in greater numbers than 2005, because of global warming?
