Bush Administration Drinks Algore's Kool-Aid...

Just when you thought that people were finally getting the message about the myth that is anthroprogenic global warming.

In what has to be one of the most revolting developments and shameless displays of kowtowing I have ever witnessed in this administration,

Washington changes its tune on climate

The world must cut emissions or sacrifice the planet, Condoleezza Rice, US secretary of state, told a meeting of governments on Thursday, in the most strongly worded statement on global warming yet made by the US administration.

She told representatives of 16 governments gathered for talks on climate change in Washington: “It is our responsibility as global leaders to forge a new international consensus on how to solve climate change . . . If we stay on our present path, we face an unacceptable choice: either we sacrifice global economic growth to secure the health of our planet or we sacrifice the health of our planet to continue with fossil-fuelled growth.”

She asked the governments present, which account for more than 80 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, to agree a long-term goal on emissions reduction, establish mid-term targets for the same and to help develop markets for low-carbon technologies.

Her words reflected how far US rhetoric on climate change has moved in the past six months.

President George W. Bush, who rejected the Kyoto protocol, had previously called into question the state of scientific knowledge on global warming, and the US has been seen by other governments as holding up progress on international talks.

His decision to host a meeting of big emitters took the world by surprise.The two-day meeting, which finishes on Friday, is intended to be the first in a series whose conclusions will next year be included in the United Nations process on finding a successor to the Kyoto protocol when its main provisions expire in 2012.

Can at least one person somewhere in the Bush administration FINALLY get the cajones to tell the enviro-socialists that their global warming emperor has no clothes?!?, and while they're at it, to tell them to go take a flying leap??

And while we're at it, can someone tell our esteemed governor that ethanol isn't all it's cracked up to be?

The net effect of this Kool-Aid consumption by Republicans serves to embolden those who insist on propagating this myth as an excuse for higher taxes, or even for doing away with capitalism altogether.

So a word to whomever must be feeding our elected Republican officials hallucinogens: Knock it off, already!

And a word to those elected Republican officials: Don't be surprised when the growing number of disaffected and disgusted Republican voters who sit home on election day necessitates your one-way bus ticket home on a cold January day in 2009.
