Global Warming Still Under Investigation

The last comment I heard President Bush say about global warming is "We are investigating the possibility of Global warming. We cannot make policy on theories."

Ok, here are the latest headlines that I quickly gleaned from various news sites:

• Climate warning as Siberia melts
  11 August 2005
  NewScientist.com news service
  Fred Pearce
  
• 2005 Hurricane Season Will Be Stronger Than Projected
  Willie Drye
  for National Geographic News
  August 8, 2005
  
• Drought, heat wave taking toll in Spain
  Tracy Wilkinson
  Los Angeles Times
  August 12, 2005
  
• Ice Shelf Disintegration Threatens Environment, Queen's Study
  Queen's News Center
  August 03, 2005
  

This is the news we are bombarded with on a daily basis. All of these articles are from just the past two weeks. Why does the President fail to see the obvious? Why do the folks to my right consistanlty fail to act on such a serious matter as our global climate? Simple, they are hoping this will all just go away so they can continue to line their pockets and the pockets of their cronies. If they "believed" in Global Warming then they would have to take action that would affect the bottom line of the companies that paid the get them in office.

I believe that no action will be taken by the US Government until: Florida had been destroyed by hurricanes, crops fail in the midwest, NYC has to build dikes to keep out the rising water and... well you see the pattern here, they will not take action until it cost them money directly. This could possibly be an end to the way of life we are used to. Our children will look back at our inaction and stuburn ignorance and perhaps learn a lesson. That is the only good that can come of this.
