Either the President is Being Manipulated by Evil People, Or...

The President, in an interview w/ People Magazine:

PEOPLE: Do you think Gore is right on global warming?

BUSH: I think we have a problem on global warming. I think there is a debate about whether it's caused by mankind or whether it's caused naturally, but it's a worthy debate. It's a debate, actually, that I'm in the process of solving by advancing new technologies, burning coal cleanly in electric plants, or promoting hydrogen-powered automobiles, or advancing ethanol as an alternative to gasoline.

Either the President is a total idiot and is buying right-wing garbage peddled by evil, evil people who care more about profit than leaving something (anything!) behind for our children, or the President himself is peddling right-wing garbage because he cares more about his friends in the oil industry than leaving something behind for our children, in which case, he's an evil, evil man.

The idea that there's a debate on global warming is total crap. Saying there's a debate about global warming is analagous to saying there's a debate about whether the Holocaust happened. You have random nutcases all over the world denying the Holocaust because it's in their interest to do so, but that does not mean there's a real debate about the Holocaust. And one day, our descendants will look back and put Holocaust deniers and climate crisis deniers in the same category.
