Mr Bush To America: Maybe Next President Will Care About The Environment

Filed under: energy — admin @ 9:30 pm

“President” Bush called to stop the growth of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) by 2025.  Ummm…yes, you read that correctly.  He wants to stop the growth of GHGs in the next 17 years.  In the mean time, the rate can continue to increase.   According to The Chicago Tribune, the US DOE’s calculations say that GHGs will rise 10% by 2025.   

Mr Bush also stated, “In 2009 alone, the government and the private sector plan to dedicate nearly a billion dollars to clean coal research and development. “  Clean coal.  Sure.  I know about FutureGen.  It got shutdown before it started - probably because Texas didn’t win.  Coal is still a fossil fuel - referred to as dinosaur juice.

“There is a wrong way and a right way to approach reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” Bush said.  Then the out-of-touch “President” told us that we need to increase ethanol and bio-fuel production. 

“If this is President Bush’s idea of 20/20 vision he needs to get his eyes checked,” said Sen. John Kerry, calling the new White House climate initiative “late, insufficient and insincere.” [from Trib]

To me…it just seems like he’s passing the buck to the next president.

what a face mocking environmental efforts for profit.
sowing the seeds of confusion in a climate of delusion.

i feel as if i lived in a cryptic nightmare where only a few could decipher the meaning of conscience.

thanks for the rude awakening, but i was already awake to this great deception.

Great, but infuriating post. We’d better do more than hope our next president is focused on the environment.

Late, insufficient and insincere indeed!
