HOW WILL GLOBAL WARMING DENIERS REACT IF BUSH FLIP-FLOPS ON GLOBAL WARMING? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Wed Jan 17, 07 - Mon Oct 12, 09 Bush set for climate change U-turn Downing Street says that belated US recognition of global warming could lead to a post-Kyoto agreement on curbing emissions January 14, 2007, The Observer George Bush is preparing to make a historic shift in his position on global warming when he makes his State of the Union speech later this month, say senior Downing Street officials. Tony Blair hopes that the new stance by the United States will lead to a breakthrough in international talks on climate change and that the outlines of a successor treaty to the Kyoto agreement, the deal to curb emissions of greenhouse gases which expires in 2012, could now be thrashed out at the G8 summit in June. Bush and Blair held private talks on climate change before Christmas, and there is a feeling that the US President will now agree a cap on emissions in the US, meaning that, for the first time, American industry and consumers would be expected to start conserving energy and curbing pollution. 'We could now be seeing the beginning of a consensus on a post-Kyoto framework,' said a source close to the prime minister. 'President Bush is beginning to talk about more radical measures.' The move will be seen as part of a wider repositioning of the Bush government after its comprehensive defeat in last autumn's mid-term elections. A change of heart on the environment was signalled earlier this month when the US administration unexpectedly announced that polar bears were now an endangered species because their habitat in the US state of Alaska had suffered from melting ice sheets caused by global warming. The government is now required to act on threats to the bears' survival. Blair was also told in meetings with senior senators late last year that they would seek to push through measures on global warming which had been repeatedly blocked by the Republicans before the mid-term elections cost Bush's party control of both Houses of Congress. * * * * * * * * Word has it that Denier-in-Chief, George W. Bush may pull a mega-flip-flop on global warming in a late attempt to change his legacy as "the worst president in American history." If Bush does flip-flop, how will the global warming deniers respond? Pretend like nothing has happened Commit seppuku Sell their SUVs and buy hybrids Claim that Bush has become a tool of Satan Claim that global warming is caused by Islamofascists Point out that we are currently in a winter storm this Jan.
