The Bush Administration has had a long history of 'quality' advice. Their record stands for it's self. They would not be in the position they are today, without huge amounts of grease, and a better dead than poor philosophy. Where did Mr Bush get the time to study Meteorology ? No Mr Bush, it's not the study of near Earth objects.

How did we ever wind up with such a "clueless" President, and such a "bastard" Vice-President ?
Here's a clip from the article that you GOT to read!
Whitman should have had her doubts. Prior to joining the Cabinet, she sought personal assurance from Bush that the EPA would be able to call its own shots without deferring to the CEQ - the Council on Environmental Quality, a policy arm of the White House. As Whitman recalls it, Bush made no effort to mask his bureaucratic ignorance. "What's CEQ?" he asked blankly.

Cheney took full advantage of the president's cluelessness, bringing the CEQ into his own portfolio. "The environment and energy issues were really turned over t...

Anyone for "doublespeak"....ala, 1984
In his Valentine's Day speech, Bush gave credit to the man who Cheney had placed in charge of crafting the nation's climate policy to suit the needs of big polluters. "I want to thank Jim Connaughton, who is the chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality," Bush declared. "He's done a fabulous job of putting this policy together."
Great job Jim and Brownie!

Connaughton's mission at the CEQ was to make sure climate regulations never got in the way of energy development. A Yale-educated lawyer, Connaughton comes across like a slightly caffeinated Ron Howard, with a manic energy and a balding pate of wispy re...

There has been forecasts that humanity was facing the end for thousands of years. After centuries fearing 'Gods vengeance', and being faced with the real prospect of nuclear annhialation recently, there is the idea that one day one of the forecasts will be right. I'm not sure if it is ironic, or typical that the greatest threat to civilization today, seems to be stupidity, with greed following close behind.
I was reminded of the Emperor's New Clothes, by Hans Christien Anderson, but that's another story.

I've read the whole article. Everyone should! The level of rot, moral bankruptcy and conceited contempt for honesty within the US administration is unfathomable! It simply boggles the mind how they have fine-tuned and mastered, with deliberate malice and disrespect for the ways of a democracy, the arts of deception, manipulation and lying. Again and again and again!

They are playing with our lives and the future of the planet and for what?? The almighty dollar?!? These rich blokes in nice suits must be laughing their friggin' arses off at us! Raising their glasses of expensive Bourbon and toasting to the ease at which they have succeeded in herding the people into corrals of fear and Orwel...

Will somebody please explain to me how the planet Mars is warming up as well, if Earth's warming is so absolutely positively caused by man?

There are 500-year-old agricultural villages buried under the ice of Greenland.

The Great Lakes in the American midwest were dug out by glaciers.

The planet goes through phases of warm and cool. It has been doing this since long before man, and will continue to do so long after we are gone. Humankind has nothing to do with it.
