You have to be kidding me. Show me some research that says global warming is a hoax (if you can find any), and I'll show you 10 times the scientific, documented, unbiased research data that shows that it is, in fact, a real phenomena, and that it is really happening.
I mean hell just think aobut it! Over the last few hundred years, there have been records of Florida and the Gulf Coast getting hit by hurricanes, but never in that long history has there been anything like we've seen the last few years. In 2 years, 6 major hurricanes have battered and crushed parts of Florida and the gulf. Hurricanes are formed by massive evaporation over the warm equatorial ocean. Then the water is warmer (global warming), more water evaporates more easily, leading to the surge in intense hurricanes we've seen recently.

Retreating Glaciers Worrying Greenlanders
By JAN M. OLSEN, Associated Press Writer Sat Sep 10, 3:26 PM ET
ILULISSAT, Greenland - The gargantuan chunks of ice breaking off the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and thundering into an Arctic fjord make a spectacular sight. But to Greenlanders it is also deeply worrisome.
The frequency and size of the icefalls are a powerful reminder that the frozen sheet covering the world's largest island is thinning a glaring sign of global warming, scientists say.
"In the past we could walk on the ice in the fjord between the icebergs for a six-month period during the winter, drill holes and fish," said Joern Kristensen, a fisherman and one of the indigenous Inuit who are most of Greenland's population of 56,000.
"We can only do that for a month or two now. It has become more difficult to drive dog sleds because the ice between the icebergs isn't solid anymore."
In 2002-2003, a six-mile-long stretch of the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier broke off and drifted silently out of the fjord near Ilulissat, Greenland's third largest town, 155 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
Although Greenland, three times the size of Texas, is the prime example, scientists say the effects of climate change are noticeable throughout the Arctic region, from the northward spread of spruce beetles in Canada to melting permafrost in Alaska and northern Russia.
Indigenous people, who for centuries have adapted their lives to the cold, fear that even small and gradual changes could have a profound impact.
"We can see a trend that the fall is getting longer and wetter," said Lars-Anders Baer, a political leader of Sweden's Sami, a once nomadic, reindeer-herding people.
"If the climate gets warmer, it is probably bad for the reindeer. New species (of plants) come in and suffocate other plants that are the main food for the reindeer," he said.
AP writers Maria Danilova and Jim Heintz in Moscow, Karl Ritter in Stockholm, Sweden, and Beth Duff-Brown in Toronto contributed to this report.

IMO, there should be govornment legislation that every car produced after 20xx needs to be at worst an electric/gasoline hybrid that gets 25+ MPG. The technology is there. And for the performance car enthusiasts, you can get more torque out of an electric motor than you could ever think of with a ICE, so no losses there. The gas companies would not like it, but someone needs to have the balls to make the change. Sure makes my degree a lot more marketable too

Not gonna happen with someone in office who was put there by massive donations from the oil companies.
You know, I don't agree with all that Bush does, but he isn't any worse then Gore or Clinton or the other Bush or carter. How many of those presidents had to go through or deal with the kind of crap that this guy has.
He beat the democrats and there was a little scandal in Florida with the chads, not his fault. If it went the other way it wouldn't be that big of a deal. The republicans don't b**** about things as much as the Democrats and Liberals. He replaced a guy that though his job was a joke. Look at what Clinton did with his last few yrs. Unemployment was rising and the economy was falling. The deficit was way out there. Then Bush and his team came in to try and fix things and WAM! 9/11 happened. Then every thing went crazy. The whole world was hit by that not just us. Every one wanted blood and he went and got it. He also decided that 10yrs of not following UN rules was enough and went to war. He has his reasons. At that time he had 60-70+ approval rating. Oh but then the reality set in that we might loose some people. And now the people want him to pull out. That's just dumb, and will not and cannot happen. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Now look at the economy. Even after all of the disasters that have hit the U.S. in the last 6yrs our economy has picked up and is better than when Clinton left it. The unemployment is under 5.0% (4.9 in Aug.), thats a 4 yr low. That means that the unemployment is lower then it was before 9/11.
Allot of people hate Bush for personal reasons and that blinds them from seeing the good that he's done. He isn't a great public speaker so people think he's dumb, yet he's the President and rich and they hold a 9-5 and then some and are not rich. So I would think he's all that dumb.
No one can sit here and say they could have done a better job then Bush. You dont know what you would have done if you were in his shoes. Imagine sitting reading to kids and your told that the U.S. was hit and the towers are coming down. What do you think you would have done? I know what I did, I cried! And Ive never been there. He got beat up because he didnt rush out of the class. He didnt want to scare anyone yet all of the Bush haters lit him up. Its kind of sad, just think what we could do if the government worked with the president and not against him. And that goes for all Presidents.
Well I like Bush suck at getting my words out right so Ill quit.

Bush is on the lower end of the IQ scale. He was born rich- his daddy was Director CIA, and other things. He's played at a few business ventures, didn't do well but sold/got out before the failures. He won the election due to the Sup. Court that had his daddies appointees on it. He is very slow to react to trouble, but he's pretty good with vacations. He wanted to finish his dad's war- Iraq could have just sat there for a while while we finished Afghanistan. Now we'll be in both places for 50 years like Korea. Yeah, he's done a swell job. Who has the blinders on?

Everyone has their own opinons, the bad thing is the negative ones are always going to be loader. You say he's doing his daddys war I say he did what Clinton should have done. I'm mean come on 10yrs is a little long to comply isn't it?
POLITICAL: GOP nominee for Congress, 1978. Senior Advisor, George Bush for President Campaign, 1988. Governor of Texas, 1995-December 2000 (Elected 1994, re-elected 1998). President of the United States, 2001-present (Elected 2000; Re-Elected 2004).
PROFESSIONAL: Managing General Partner, Texas Rangers pro baseball team, 1989-94. Founder & CEO, Bush Exploration Oil & Gas Company, 1975-86. Pilot,
If I'm not wrong the Rangers are still around and doing ok. The oil company went under as did 90% of all oil companies in the mid 80s. My dad worked in Oil at that time so I know how bad it hit, all of a suden we were broke.
So I don't see how you can say he failed at those.
Just admit it you don't like him so you will never say anything positive about him. Yet for evey bad thing you say there will be some thing good said.
SciFiMan said:
How is he slow to react? How long do you think it takes to PLAN anything, be it military or civilian on a large scale to make it worthwhile?
I am not saying Bush is a great president, but people need to chill. Read what Hughes said, look at all the s*** that was thrown at him that he had NO control over...I don't think he did that bad.
BTW - all the people giving s*** about going to Iraq, read "Inside CENTCOM". It is by a non-partison military official that was subordinate to Tommy Franks before 9/11 and Iraq and everything happened. The intelligence says that Bush did the right thing. It is not Bush's fault that there was holes in the intelligence. He did what he felt was right based of off the information presented to him.
Oh and how come is it if he's so dumb and there are all of these really smart people out there, why aren't these smart people running for office? Why are only the dumb ones running? If you can do better you run. Not all people that have been presidents were rich you now.

i always love these dumbass statements. the public takes vacation and runs with it. meanwhile his advisors are there, they talk and discuss policy the entire time, he still gets his PDBs (even Time magazine admits this, in pictures etc), and decisions still get made. furthermore, if anything happens he can always leave.
where do business men always go to discuss business in a more friendly environment? hunting, or golf. does that mean they are not working?
quit sucking on moore's tit.

oh really? the deficit was WAAAY out there huh? then how come in the 2000 election the big arguing point was where to give the SURPLUS? i dont mean to start a war or anything, but just get your facts straight.
It's like both sides are taking the spin tactics used by their parties and spinning the truth so it looks good for them. Both sides do it all the time. "You know, it may look like a pile of s*** from an outside view, but when you take it down to the molecule level you add a couple of electrons here and there and you have lovely flowers" You guys say what you want about things, it's not individual actions that separate you it's a difference in ideology. Our country is being run poorly because of deep partisan divisions in the govornment, period. The only way to cure that is by getting a moderate (democrat or republican) to be president.
Oh, and to reply to Hughes' post on what would you have done if you were president getting told about 9-11. I was in Japan sleeping in my apartment, and my Mom calls me and says the U.S. is under attack. I turn on the TV and I see it all over Japanese news. The first thing I did was hop on my bike and get to my place of duty (ship) and see what needed to be done.
