Why doesn't Bush do anything about global warming?

Question

I think he is a total r****d for not doing anything about it. And if he is, he isn't doing anything big. And global warming is a big deal NOW.

Answer 1

research China. We are in the economic downfall because we are the protectors and benefactors of the world and the world does not like us.

Global warming has not been proven to be man made it is just a trendy thing now, we have only been checking for about 100 years.  Besides when mother nature gets mad enough we will be erased and we will be a blip in the history of time.  

Answer 2

Like Randall said, the climate has been on a slight cooling trend since Bush took office, so it looks like the catastrophe caused by the Clintons has been averted.

Answer 3

he's too busy learning to read

Answer 4

You know, the so called warming should be happeneing at a constant and steady rate. Yet, since 2001 the temp has not moved at all and in the last 12 months the temps are actually below average in most places.

Is that justification for doing nothing about the possibility? No, the US needs to switch away from oil based fuel and develop our own fuel based on coal. Granted thats not an ideal situation, but getting the US to switch to hydrogen fuel cells is next to impossible.

Answer 5

First of all, there is no scientific evidence to support AGW.

Second, he did something (increased bio fuel subsidizies), and it has done nothing to curb CO2. It has raised the price of food and gas. We should make sure no government tries anything so stupid again.

Answer 6

The Earth warms and the Earth cools. The sun has the most to do with it, and a New Law telling the sun not to warm us is kind of stupid don't you think?  There has been no warming lately, infact we are cooling now.  The global warming craze is short for Man Made Global Warming, an idea that has been pushed by Al Gore and the Media. BUT it's not real.  The main ideas on fixing MMGW are to have the US economy spend Trillions of Dollars buying Carbon Credits. That doesn't reduce CO2 but it does give money to all the 3rd world countries, so they love the idea.  Also the number one polluter and producer of CO2 is China. And they are exempt from reducing their CO2 levels, and are infact increasing them everyday.  BUT there is no science showing that CO2 levels increase global temps at all. A little over 200 years ago Henry Hudson sailed a wooden ship across the top of North America, guess it was warmer then, as we haven't had the ice melt enough to do this for over a centry. And there were no cars back then to cause MMGW.  Actually the ice at the artic melts when we have increased volcanic activity up there and we are having that now, so we will have reduced ice every summer untill that subsides. When we were warming (I'm not saying we don't have warming) so were Venus and Mars, that was because the sun was more active then. We are at the start of a new sun spot cycle now (minimum number of sun spots) so the sun is less active now. That means less solar heat. The cycle usually lasts for 11 years or so, give or take 2-3 years. So we will be cooling a little more for a while, then we will warm again. BUT there is nothing a President can do about it, so why destroy the American Life Style to please a few 3rd world countries?  By the way, Al Gore has made millions off of selling Carbon Credits, maybe that's why he loves going around and being so passionate about MMGW. Not to mention his Nobel prize and his Oscar (best documentry) for his BOGUS movie. This is more a political thing than a scientiffic thing. People are making lots of money crying about MMGW when even they know it doesn't exsist.  You are one of those people falling for the hype, as can be told by your question. See they got you wanting a political solution to a solar problem. Can't really be done, but it will get them some votes, and lots of money.

Answer 7

Global Warming is a myth.

Answer 8

heis aself respecting american that has fullfilled his duties as pres and global warming isnt real

Answer 9

I do love the question in that it is a better demonstration than anything that I could say that global warming is a political phenomena.  It involves taking a bunch of scientifically illiterate people and convincing them that we are destroying the world.  Socialism was nearly killed off but regenerated itself as it metastacized in the environmental movement pretending they now care about the planet.  I hope you don't think Bush doesn't care about the planet.  Unlike some environmentalists, he probably actually does care.  

Answer 10

What can he, personally, do? Even if someone were to make a law restricting emissions from automobiles, factories, etc., the legislature would have to start the ball rolling. Only later, when the bill came to him for signature(or veto) would he have anything to do with it.

Answer 11

If you not for our President that is your right but calling him a r****d is uncalled for and disrepectful to him and those who are struggling with children who are retarded is insulting.  I would suggest you ask yourself what you can do about global warming since you belive in it, just stop foring your belief down the throats of others who don't believe it.

Answer 12

cause its not real, mearly an invention of al gore's

Answer 13

Except that it hasn't warmed during his tenure in office.    So, there is no warming to do anything about.   There is warmth, but it is a torture of the language to call it warming.  

And please don't deny this.    The temps have been flat since '01.   If Gore had been elected and we'd ratified Kyoto and instituted carbon taxes and reduced our GHG emissions, not only would the AGW proponents be admitting that global warming has stalled (and in the last 12 months started to recede), they'd be taking credit for it.

Answer 14

CUZ HE IS STUPID.

Answer 15

Because it does not exist, its just a myth.

Answer 16

What do you want him to do, wave his magic arm and just get rid of it?   Would it be good for you if he cried a little?  Or maybe just raise taxes for the good of the planet?

Global warming is movie fiction.  It hasn't gotten any warmer since 2001.

Answer 17

He doesn't do anything because he's an IDIOT!

Answer 18

Ask an Eskimo.

Answer 19

He actually has, but since global warming is not caused by humans, there's nothing much to do other than raise taxes and cause the costs of all items to go up.  Is that what you want done?

He's responded to the bogus theory as all politicians have, but there's nothing to do about it.  We didn't cause it and we can't stop what is natural.

You'd do better by reading some science books.  Education is the key.  The more you learn the less you fall prey to things like the "man-made global warming" hoax.

Actually, the biggest r****d I know of is Al Gore and he's made millions by hoodwinking innocent, uninformed people on this scam.

Answer 20

Because global warming is not real.

Answer 21

What would you suggest? First, it was just a few years ago that we were due for another Ice Age, and now suddenly we have Global Warming???

Besides anything that would curtail smog and haze in urban areas, their is nothing significant that can be done to affect what type of climate we have.

Any and all things that are done in the name of "global warming" are wiped away the next time we have a volcanic eruption somewhere in the world...or the sun produces larger than normal "storms", or any other factor with which we have no control. "Man" can no more affect our overall environment any more than we could walk on water.

Global warming is a mostly manufactured attempt that radical envrionmentalists have come up with to exert their fundamentalist views on the rest of the world.

So again, the better question should be, why doesn't Bush stand up to people as say "Prove it"?

Answer 22

Because half of the people do not believe there is any such thing as global warming.  But I ask you what do you think he should do.  He is only the president of the USA.  He can't stop what other countrie are doing to the environment and he can't personaly pass laws.  That's up to congress.

Answer 23

A few reasons-

a) He genuinely thinks there isn't enough evidence to say it's happening

b) He's delibrately being ignorant to avoid making a policy that could hurt other areas

c He might already be trying to do something about it that we don't know of

Answer 24

GLOBAL WARIMING IS NOT A MYTH! dont listen to him. bush doesnt do anything cause he  is selfish and stupid and he doesnt care. which is wrong and why no body likes him.

Answer 25

Well, for starters, how can he "fix" a naturally occurring phenomenon?  Seems a bit futile, don't you think?  It's like saying we should activate  every rocket we have to shift the axis of the earth to have more of a direct path of sunlight so we're able to grow more crops.  Does that seem like a legimate idea?  Of course not.

And let me just explain to Buffy that most of what she said is completely wrong, or socialistic in nature.  Public schools are so ridiculously overfunded it's simply stunning.  If you do a comparison of private schools vs. public schools, private schools are much better at utilizing their money more efficiently and for less per student.  There is almost no accoutablility in public schools.  Every year they beg and plead for more and more funding when they are light years ahead of every private school who's making budget.  How does that work?  Because whenever they want to allocate more funds to some pointless program, they don't see the need to cut back, or re-evaluate to determine if it's affordable, they just go to the taxpayer with their hands out demanding more money.  And universal healthcare?  That's a joke.  Yes, the current system has flaws, but nothing compared to what universal healthcare would cost.  Consider this, the state of Wisconsin proposed a healthcare plan called Badger Care.  Sounded good on paper, every state citizen would be covered.  There was just one massive problem, it would have bankrupted the state by costing double the state's yearly income.  So twice the entire state's budget would have gone to healthcare leaving NOTHING left over for anything else making things exponentially worse in the state.  And how about air pollution you speak of?  Try again. Air quality as a result of the United States policies over the last few decades is higher than it's been in 50 years and only getting better.   I can only assume you're still young not fully aware of how government works.   Money doesn't just magically appear.  It comes from the taxpayers who are already being robbed to pay for much more than then should be.  How is it the responsibility of the taxpayer to pay for anything and everything people want?  

Answer 26

Because he likes it warm.

Answer 27

There are more important things in the world than climate change, which has been happening for billions of years.  There is no reason to think that the current changes are unnatural - the problem is climate science is full of uncertainty but believers refuse to admit the possibility of UNKNOWN natural processes warming the planet.  

There are a lot of unknowns out there, and it take a HUGE leap of faith to say the ONLY possibility is that humans are the primary drivers of climate change.

Answer 28

Because Republicans don't care about the future of American children.

Just witness their positions on

Education

- College funding

- public school funding

- Preschool funding

- After school activities

Health

- Universal healthcare

- prenatal care

- protecting the food supplies

- inspection of elevators

- Car seats/seat belts for children

The environment

- Mercury in the drinking water

- Air polution

- cleaning up hazardous wastes

- Getting poisons out of plastics

- Getting lead out of children's toys

- Smoking near children

- Global warming

Answer 29

Wrong !! The liberals manufactured the temperature graphs that show an increase. There is a problem ,The thermometers were not caliborated....  

Answer 30

because he is george bush

Answer 31

For the same reason he (or any sensible person) doesn't do anything about Santa Claus affecting the North Pole. Both are myths.

Global warming was instigated by that liberal nutcase, Al Gore, and it is based on demonic logic. HUNDREDS of prominent scientists have now debunked his lies. Gore should undergo a mental exam to see if he's competent enough to face civil or criminal charges for the deceptions he's brought forth.
