Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Heated battle
Heated battle

Global warming creates huge hurricanes: RFK Jr.

By ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

Global warming has made hurricanes worse. Virtually all accepted climate models say warming ocean-surface temperatures amplify the intensity (though not necessarily the frequency) of hurricanes and other storms. Hurricanes are giant engines fueled by heat, and warm water is steroids for storms. Records indicate that this summer may have been the hottest on record, and both Katrina and Rita have behaved as the models predict: forming in the Atlantic, moving over Florida as Category 1 storms and morphing into Category 5 upon hitting the warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The jury on global warming has come in. In 2001, more than 2,000 climate scientists from 100 nations announced a worldwide scientific consensus that global warming is upon us, that it's caused primarily by industrial emissions and that its impact will be catastrophic. The only remaining global warming skeptics within the scientific community are a tiny group of industry financed scientists popularly known as "biostitutes." But you don't need a weatherman to know which way the mercury is headed.

2. I absolutely agree. The more I hear from him, the more impressed I am.
Many of his generation of Kennedys have gone into public service, but RFK Jr. really is making a difference...:-)

4. Yes, me too!!! I caught his interview with Bill Maher on this...
It truly made my blood run cold. He explained that the reason that Bush* doesn't care about preserving the environment for future generations is because he believes that The Rapture is imminent and that there won't be any future generations! Yikes! And then there's the fact that he appointed Gale Norton, who also subscribes to this hogwash, as Secretary of the Interior, of all things! The man's not just nuts, but frighteningly dangerous...
:scared:

And I have a friend who's from the Middle East, also a fellow liberal, who explained Bush*'s obsession with the Middle East. He said that Bush* believes that this is where The Rapture's bound to happen and he wants to make sure he's there when it does...:grr:
