Bush was responding to a question from a reporter about the NYT article. He didn't "come out" and do anything.

You think he would've distanced himself in that way if not for the conservative firestorm? Look, I don't think Bush actually believes humans are causing global warming. All I'm saying is that his dismissive comments were calculated to defuse the situation; if there was less criticism I suspect he would've been less dismissive.
