So Bush is the one responsible for all of the globes weather and climate....... Yeah right.
Not entirely, but being the Lobbyist In Chief for the coal and oil industry doesn't help matters.

I lived in Seattle for awhile. If the oceans rise, move. Even a Harley could outrun that rising tide.
Folks often complain about things (....................., Swing dancing).......................
I find it kind of interesting that people are discussing this on a board filled with folks who routinely rides thousands of unneeded miles a year (there's even a contest).
Folks often complain about things (the weather, Wal-mart, Swing dancing) but usually fail to sacrifice anything in their lives to make the change they think needs made.

I'm wait'n on the one!!

(The emphasis is mine.)A lot of government scientists have said it.
But until yesterday, it appeared that no news release on annual climate trends out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Bush White House had said unequivocally that a buildup of greenhouse gases was helping warm the climate.
The statement came in a release that said 2006 was the warmest year for the 48 contiguous states since regular temperature records began in 1895. It surpassed the previous champion, 1998, a year heated up by a powerful episode of the periodic warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean by El Ni??o. Last year, another El Ni??o developed, but this time a long-term warming trend from human activities was said to be involved as well.
ÔÇ£A contributing factor to the unusually warm temperatures throughout 2006 also is the long-term warming trend, which has been linked to increases in greenhouse gases,ÔÇØ the release said, emphasizing that the relative contributions of El Ni??o and the human influence were not known.
A link between greenhouse gases and climate change was also made in a December news conference by Dirk Kempthorne, the secretary of the interior, as that agency proposed listing polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
Wow - someone lives in the Florida Keys and they pooh pooh global warming!
Won't you be surprised when 50% of the entire state of Florida goes under in 50 years! Serves you right for electing Bush in 2000
Florida will only flood if ALL the ice melts from both poles and Greenland. Since the ice on the north pole already floats in the Arctic ocean it's melting by itself is NOT gonna flood the planet. Take a glass, fill with ice, add water to the rim and let ice melt, see if it runs over the rim....... physics 101
If you're not going to believe that we humans are having an effect on the climate when some random joe like me says it, perhaps you'll believe it when the current administration says it:

In your own post, contributing was the operative term. This is still short of causative or responsible. There is still a natural operation in climatology going on as well, yet some would have you think that only humans are responsible for global warming or cooling. As if global climate changes had never happened before industrial humans came around.
If you want to debate something I did not say, do so to yourself. If you want to discuss something I did say have at it.
